When different becomes hard to come by in the music industry every artist must define what sets them apart from the norm. Whether lyrical genius or a "vocal Sinatra" JJ DAE Aka The Hood Hippie embodies the evolution of music from Southern soul to new age alternative with hints of urban grit. As an Atlanta based Artist raised in the Carolinas lyrically, vocally and musically he is a different type of talent that finds himself in a lane of his own. One with the music and the words that flow from an insatiably creative soul he continues to evolve as an artist and an individual. His journey will be one to watch because he has yet to reach his potential and is considered one of the next artists to emerge from south.

Get acquainted with me, explore the inner workings of the sound architect native from the rural nature of Pageland, SC, Tiyeam Xalei, a rising artist in the realm of southern hip-hop. Rooted deeply in the Dirty South, Tiyeam's music mirrors the very essence of his surroundings, echoing the rural tranquility and suburban vibe that shaped his upbringing. Feeling the air of despair that tends to linger in the minds and energy of small towns, he decided to pursue this growing dream quietly while maintaining a weekly work schedule to finance the way.



His artistry is a tapestry woven from the threads of his life experiences, each word and sound carrying the weight of his journey. Influenced by the likes of Bone Thugs, OutKast, Nas, T.I., Kanye West, 666 Mafia. 



As Tiyeam Xalei's musical timeline continued he had undergone a profound realization - to readjust his approach to this game to a more business like style of play. His unique perspective and deep connection to his environment could be used to bring clarity to the key view points in the pictures he paints on record, he was definitely taking a strong interest in reinventing hisself for this industry.



This revelation birthed a distinctive sound, one that defied conventional norms and matured into something unique. As a producer, Tiyeam's creations are a blend of ambient sounds, rhythmic drum patterns, and carefully coordinated samples, forming a symphony that “explains the feeling”.
Tiyeam's music exudes authenticity. Using a perfectionist attitude and attention to detail he really drove the creative structure behind this coming body of work, he’s making his first move his best move. His music is his sanctuary serving as a form of sound therapy. To be continued.

Devin Jiwan Funderburk bka, "Handz", (Born: 1993) is a recording artist, born and raised in Pageland, SC; but has affiliation with various locations in North Carolina, including the Charlotte, NC area, & also the Hampton Roads area in Virginia. Handz got his name in high school while playing football & other sports, but the name stuck with him & he became affectionately known by that name wherever he went. A collegiate football athlete & graduate (BS in Mathematics) from Wingate University (NC), Handz has been creating music with his intelligent lyrics since 2006. His progression & growth has shown, as starting out as a very secular artist, he now creates music for God, inspirational music, love music, & music about his life & life experiences, that are brought about in very creative ways. Handz is the creator of Generational Mindset Music & Entertainment® (GMM&E), where the motto is "Change Your Mind; Change Your Life!". He believes he has gone through all of his experiences to put them into his music, so that his listeners are able to see where he comes from, and also his listeners would be inspired by his music.
Handz quotes, "I want to music to change the world! I believe God has given me a gift, and I want to use this gift to change lives. I want my listeners to write me, see me in person, etc., and tell me, because of your music & your transparency, I didn't give up! That would be a great feeling, & I know with that, I would be fulfilling my purpose on this earth."

I am  the independent artist's best friend.  Chief of the TRiiiBE.
