December's artist
Name: K Swat
Age: 19
Hometown: Marietta, GA
Current Residence: Woodstock, GA
Music Type: Christian Rap/Hip Hop
Myspace: www.myspace.com/kswatissoprouctions
Featured Song: K Swat - Live My Life (featuring Mora)
Quote: "Love the life you live, live the life you love."
"I enjoy making music for the fun of just doing it. I love zoning out and working on a track for hours at a time. My main goal is for other people to enjoy listening to my music, so go check it out!" - K Swat
Since K Swat isn't great at describing himself, I'll give it a shot.
K Swat has been rapping for a few years now. He started when he was 15 or 16 and has went through many changes in his life and his style as an artist since then. After getting right with God, he has found a new outlook on life and a new style for his music. His featured song "Live My Life" was made about a year ago and features another local Atlanta, Georgia artist you might know - Mora. This song shows the ambitious outlook that K Swat has on life in general. A short term career goal for K Swat is to drop a Christian based mixtape or album. Swat's newer songs are quite a change from some of his earlier songs, but I believe it is a change for the good. In my opinion, only great things can come when you are in the right mind set and have God in your life.
If you check out his myspace page, you will find songs a lot different from the one featured on this site, but they are pleasurable to listen to. I encourage you to listen to the song entitled "Love My Life" produced by myself and K Swat. I feel that this song has a lot of potential to be a hit and I have gotten great feedback from all age groups!
Be on the look out for K Swat in the future! There are many big things to come very soon from this young, aspiring artist. - DJ Isso

NOVEMBER'S ARTIST
Name: Illmic aka Tommy Trigga
Age: 19
Hometown: Boston, MA
Current Residence: Boston, MA
Music Type: Hardcore Hip-Hop
Myspace: www.myspace.com/illmic617
Featured Song: Illmic - Rainy Days
Quote: "Music has surrounded me my whole life. Comin' up as a kid,
listening to my big brothers, and the music they rocked at the crib,
it was all I needed. I've aspired to be rap artist since I was young.
Once I got to be about 16, I started to make moves for my rap career.
As of lately, I've been doing alot of shows, and have been consistently
in the studio. Practice makes perfect, and it takes alot of work. But the
work is fun. Thats why I do it...I love music."
Along with creating, and performing hip hop music, Illmic also has several other
talents and hobbies. While booking, setting up and promoting shows, he also designs
flyers for several events, including his own. With his home studio, he did the drops
and samples for his own first project, along with designing both the front and back
cover for it. As far as live performances, he has been spotted doing shows with tons
of hip hop stars and DJ's such as: Slaine, Ill Bill, DJ On&On, DJ Slipwax, Bomshot
Rhetto, the Heddshotts, Stu Cat, and many others.
Right now, Illmic is currently working on the sequel to his first mixtape,
titled 'Illmic as Tommy Trigga vol.1" His fanbase is growing, and his name
is starting to create a buzz in the streets. Expect several hard-hitting DJ Isso
beats to be the background for Illmic's intense, story telling, hip hop bangers on
his upcoming mixtape, yet to be titled, and set to release early 2010. From Boston to
Atlanta, and back, Illmic and DJ Isso are breathing the sweet air of history in the making.

Music Type: Hardcore Hip Hop/Crunk
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/emceejoe
Featured Song: Joe Brat - Rap Game
Quote: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that we are given."
"I'm a swedish underground hip hop artist currently residing in London, United Kingdom. Hailing from a mid class family, I never lived the stereotypical lifestyle of a so called rapper, but still think anyone can keep it real as long as they stay true to themselves.
Look out for my new mixtape called Rich But Not Arrogant, coming fall 2009. The message I am aiming to spread is basically, "Don't
go out there and basically act like a fool all the time, and you can still be rapping about the hood, the wine, the women and everything
else that life has to offer!" - Joe Brat
