Alize Ali, the nephew of one of the greatest icons to live (Smokey Robinson), was often referred to as nothing but "Smokey's Nephew". So determined to make a name for himself and become an established solo artist, Alize has accomplished and overcome many obstacles, resulting in the remarkable artist that he is today.

Some of his many accomplishments include creating the worlds first hip hop artist development program, entitled "The Institute", and releasing DFW's first 5 disk album, "Anything But A Mixtape Vol. 1". "Anything But a Mixtape" includes the smash hit "This Shyt Right here" which gained radio attention and accumulated unit sales from all over the world. Alize is the only unsigned solo artist in Dallas history to have 5 realeased songs in light rotation on two opposing radio stations.

Often remembered for his stage present, Alize has worked with several established artists such as: UGK, Mystical, Bow Wow, Lil Flip, MAC, & many, many more. Alize is currently working on his next 5 disk release, "Anything But A Mixtape Vol. 2", which includes exclusive tracks from producers who have worked with Dr Dre, Heat Makers, & more. He is also on a 6 month promotional tour with Bizzy Bone, B Hump of Cypress Hill, & Steve Victory. Shows include stops in Las Vegas to New York, even a home show for Alize at the world reknown House Of Blues in Dallas, TX. So with all these accomplishments its safe to say "Smokey's Newphew" has really made a name for himself as Alize Ali in today's music industry

Born Calvin James Smith on February 13, 1988 in the bay area and Ronald Allen McClain on August 11th, 1990  in Sacramento California, the Gwap Boiz are proving that determination in connection with the proper dose of persistence is all that is needed to assure primary success.  This new group entered this Hip Hop Industry eager to be heard, and from the moment they concluded that music is where their heart resided they have yet to decelerate.  

It all began back in 2007,  the two connected in the back of the workplace.  Ramdocious was rapping along with another coworker and C 2 da J overheard the freestyle going on and invited himself into the session.  The freestyling evolved into a battle rap between R.A.M and C 2 da J and it was uphill from there.  Early 2009 they made “Da Mobstarz” their official group name.  The name went through a few stages, but in the end “Gwap Boiz” stood out and stuck with them.

“We all about our money, so Gwap Boiz fit perfectly,” Ramdocious explains.  “Music is our passion, and the money fuels our passion so with a name like that we HAVE to get it in.”

Gwap Boiz are no strangers to the stage either,  they have performed at many venues including: “Club 6” in San Francisco, “Club Retro” in Roseville, “The Boardwalk” in Orangevale, “The Oaks Lounge” in Sacramento and many more… 

The Gwap Boiz have recently released their first  mixtape entitled “The Takeover” that can be found on Soundcloud (www.soundcloud.com/gwap-boiz/sets/the-takeover-mixtape) and Reverbnation (www.reverbnation.com/thagwapboiz). They also have a new music video circulating the web for  “Wake Ya City Up”, it is available on youtube (www.youtube.com/datbaykat650).  Make sure to keep your ears open and eye’s wide, these young men are here for the taking!
