WHO IS SQOOTIE JACKSON?

New Jersey native, Sqootie Jackson, has been making music for over 13 years. The artist began her career singing in church choirs, and as she progressed, she began performing in plays at her school which shaped her talent and prepared her for what was to come. Down the line, Sqootie linked up with popular local hip hop artist Tab, and eventually participated in two bands together called "Traveling in Stereo" and "Basement Skylights". This is where she took her career to the next level. She credits her musical upbringing to the band and used the knowledge she learned to  branch off into a solo career. Whilst chasing her dreams, Sqootie understood that education is power, and decided to go to Bloomfield College to obtain her Bachelors degree in Creative Arts Technology.
 
Unbeknownst to her, this is where her first ep, "Purple Luv" would be born. The project was inspired simply by the cycle of love. Purple Luv will be re-released on Valentine's Day, just in time for all the lovers and friends to experience love through the lens of Sqootie Jackson. The project comes complete with 9 songs and features artists such as Freakquencee, Euphony and more. Be sure to check out "Purple Luv" on all streaming services, February 14th.




Verse Essential started rapping at the young age of 11 and has been professionally recording since 2009. The MC from New York likes to describe his music as versatile, "unexpected", rather than labeling his sound, because it "gives yourself room to grow". Being the son of a singer, Verse Essential was raised on Motown classics, which still influences his love for Hip Hop and music. His lyrics are inspired by his work, his everyday life, people's struggles, hardships and his family. As musical influences he would list Eastcoast classics, like Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Gangstarr and Jay-Z, which clearly reflects in his New York sound, carried by his strong voice, which you will recognize in any song he's on. He has sharpened his performing skills at open mic events and as a support act for artists such as Ill Bill, Vinnie Pac and Access Immortal, and loves to entertain the crowds. Verse Essential puts Quality over Quantity. His first album "Ingenious" was released in May 2011 and he is currently working on a new album, to come out in 2013. In the mean time, he is putting visuals to his songs, and the fans can expect to see a lot of Verse Essential in 2012. Verse Essential offers everything but the norm. "I never pretended to be anything I'm not in my music because I'm a common person just like you. I ride the train, the bus and I walk the streets so I'm just like anybody else. And that's the one thing you'll pick up quick when your listening to Verse Essential. I just simply entertain"
