With energetic and organic raps, a versatile flow, and unbelievable lyrical wit, 23 year old hip-hop writer and producer Zach Trybula has made quite an impact in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Influenced by artists like Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem, Trybula tells the story of his life through his music, even if it’s not always about girls and money. Breaking away from the mainstream “modern rap,” Trybula masterfully stands true to himself and, through his songs, is able to convey his emotions and outlook on life through his unique sound (see “Callin’,” released August 2019). He has often been praised for creating music that real people can listen and relate to.
Known on most streaming platforms as “Lil Zib” (due to his short height), Trybula has released 30+ tracks since he began creating music in 2015. Featured on producer Theisy’s album “L.A.M.E.,” Trybula spends a lot of time working with local artists to develop his network and to better support local musicians, even headlining in local shows hosted by Clover Chaos, among others. His eagerness to interact with artists of unlike genres, such as jam-band Alabaster (who he performed live with in October, 2018) truly sets him apart.
At the moment, Zib is working on an unreleased collaborative album, which will include 10 brand new tracks. In the meantime, Trybula has been dropping singles such as “22,” “Callin’,” and “Back Up.”

Ross Nevin is a versatile session musician and recording artist based out of Dublin, Ireland.

This talented multi-instrumentalist is able to effortlessly deliver quality performances on instruments as diverse as sax, vocals, flute and piano. Ross also writes his own material: "Awake at Night" is the title of his debut EP, a release featuring 4 songs with a sound that falls somewhere in between jazz, progressive and pop. Tracks such as "In The Dust" bridge the gaps between the groove of Miles Davis and the melodic sensibility and folky vibes of Wilco, creating a really unique compromise.

According to the artist himself, this excellent EP is nothing but a glimpse of a greater project that's about to come up - a way for Ross to get a taste for the reactions and general feel surrounding his music. He is currently looking to build a team of talented local musicians in order to start working on the sessions for his upcoming debut album. Stay tuned and let the music tell you the rest of the story!
