Slangston Hughes, THE Connoisseur of Fine Rhyme, can be summed up in the following quote from fellow emcee, Mr. J'ai: "The future of hip-hop has arrived. Slangston Hughes' music is a fresh blend of sensible lyrics, head bobbing beats, and unpredictably witty wordplay. Slangston is pushing the envelope and destroying all stereotypes of what a Southern emcee is supposed to sound like. He represents the new movement of unheard, progressive New Orleans rap." Hughes was the first ever two and three-time winner of the Microphone Co-Rivalry Emcee Competition, a tournament-style, crowd judged emcee contest. Both as a solo artist & member of New Orleans supergroups Tygah Woods and Superugly, has opened for Doomtree, Freddie Gibbs, Rapper Big Pooh (Little Brother), Tanya Morgan, Mickey Factz, Akil(Jurassic 5), etc. Slangston is currently founder and curator of Uniquity, a monthly showcase that highlights the variety of talent in New Orleans and honors the city’s musical roots, backed by the live fusion jazz band, Fo On the Flo. Slangston is also a contributing author to New Orleans: The Underground Guide (2010).

"Jealous Monk draws on second line beats and funky chops of Uptown New Orleans and blends them with 
the native art-form of South Bronx to create a combination of funk and hip-hop that is all their own. Made 
up of turntables, microphones, and one of the funkiest live bands in town, Jealous Monk has created a new 
brand of NOLA music that's all their own."
