Born and raised in Columbus, Oho rapper Co City has been sharpening his musical chops from an early age by the study of instruments. After being taught the trumpet trumpet by Milton Ruffin and David King, he then began rhyming in the late 90's. It was then that he combined his love of 70's spul and 80's pop music to create his own heartfelt version of Hip Hop. From being voted best musician in high school, to receiving a music scholarship to Ohio Wesleyan University.City has performed along side of The 3rd Power, Rashad, J Rawls, J Sands, Tha Audio Unit, and King Vada. Co City is currently working on his 1st Solo project due out later this year. Follow him on IG @Cociy1979

Instrumental Hip Hop| Chill-Hop Music Producer,  
Born is the year of Gen X, The days of real Hip Hop, Boom Bap, Acid Jazz, Neo Soul, house mixes, aka Dj Sonny Black.  My Beats  and vibe are Original and Raw, Come and vibe with me in my World.

I am DJ Thorne, owner of Grand Finale Entertainment and one of the original founders of the Crooked Style Djs Squad. Located in the state of Ohio and personally from a city known as Y-City. I have had a passion for being a DJ since the 80’s. I credit myself starting when I was 15. That’s when I choose to come out of the bedroom from practicing and rock a party. From the age of 15 I was cookin up Mixtapes and rockin clubs where I wasn’t even old enough to get in.
Around 89’ I got my first shot at DJing this Legendary Night Club here called “The Block House”. It was here where I started to make noise along with many mom and pop shops all around the state and abroad pushing my mixtapes. 
I am a Hip Hop Dj whole grew up in a city where we didn’t have much of a Hip Hop Culture. No radio station within a 50 mile radio even played our music.  So I stood by the saying “I don’t need to go where Hip Hop is or where the big city party scene is” I WILL BRING TGE PARTY TO ME.
From parties to concerts, from producing local artist and making beats I have done what I have always been driven to do……. Being a DJ.
Now with over 37 years in the game, I am still here and still maintaining a sense of relevance. 
I love all music. From classic rock to 80’s pop and jazz. Hip Hop and Ohio Funk is what raised me but I have trained my ears to enjoy a wide variety of sound.  Y-City didn’t have a radio station that catered to my taste. So I became the radio station for many folks for many years. Bringing the streets that raw DJ energy. To this day I still practice and make remixes. It’s a joy and keeps me young!
Peace and remember, It’s only Music.
