illConscious is an emerging Hip Hop artist from Baltimore, Maryland.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. Quality is exactly what this artist consistently produces. Baltimore S.O.N. is an upcoming talent ready to showcase his music to the world. Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Baltimore S.O.N. has experienced ups and downs while pursuing his dream, but his struggles have fueled his fire and only made his music better. He is set to accomplish his goals and is determined to get where he strives to be.
 
Born Tavon Dyer, Baltimore S.O.N. (S.O.N. standing for Shining Over Negativity) started rapping at age 17. Growing up in Baltimore was rough for the rising star. There were very few positive role models, male or female to look up to. His father was a drug addict and was absent for the majority of his upbringing. His mother, an Evangelist, tried her best to hold the family together on her own, but it was a struggle taking care of him and his brothers. He knew what it was like to have no running water in the house, no electricity, no heat, and facing eviction time and time again. Although he experienced hard times, he rose out of it and in the same year he found refuge in music, he also joined the United States Air Force.

 While he actually started rapping at age 17, joining the Air Force in that same year was a bit of a distraction, so he didn’t really begin taking his music seriously until a few years later in 2004 while living in Japan. He began getting to work, perfecting his sound and craft, and completed his first project that year titled This Is Not a Demo. After his debut release, he remained diligent in pursuing his career in music. The following year, while still in Japan, he released his second project titled FaceMusic. While continuing to perfect his craft, a few years later he released his EP, Harm City. In the last two years, he’s released a mixtape, album, and an array of solid singles that caught the attention of many.

 Baltimore S.O.N.’s style and passion will solidify his spot in the game and is sure to gain him the respect he deserves. His lyrical, soulful, uplifting and gimmick-free delivery, along with his universal sound and experience make him stand out of the crowd. “I am Co-Founder of the UNIFIED NATIONS of HIP HOP which contains a roster of Emcees, Vocalists, Producers and DJ’s from the U.S., Canada, Germany, England, Latvia, Sweden, Japan and France, with the goal of putting out music on an international level that represents the diversity of the Hip Hop culture. I am more concerned with making real music and creating my own brand than I am being signed to someone's record label. I always tell people, I make music for the memories, when you make memories the money will come.”
