Jordan Cruz: @Cruz_RSM
Eddy Rodriguez: @Eddy_Keys

ReignState is the product of two guys both containing dreams and visions of the same caliber; all the while pursuing to do what they love. Expressing how they feel through heavy brass, fat 808’s, and smooth melodies, these two humble guys from the Northwest grasp authenticity within each track. Using their music for a personal escape, they also reach and influence all those listening with a close ear. Eddy (EddyKeys) Rodriguez has a head start amongst the competition. Having a solid history as a producer, starting all the way back at the age of 13 in his parent’s back room, he kept his hopes high, his talent continued to escalate, and he never looked back. Jordan Cruz has been the number one support behind Keys. Having a history in rock/alternative music, working with bands in the past both in Seattle and Portland, Cruz's added style and education as a mixing/recording engineer all assist in the final product. Momentum is on the side of these two young men, and as they continue to pursue the ultimate goal, getting Portland the credit it deserves, they continue to stay true to their brand and those they bring with them. Stay Up. 

Everything I do is for the free. Just vibe with me.

MIC CRENSHAW 
Cultural Activist

Chicago-born poet and emcee Michael (Mic) Crenshaw fell in love with music at a young age while living in Minneapolis. His teenage years were challenging as he actively confronted white supremacist gangs that were a growing part of the hard-core music scene. He eventually chose to escape the violence and moved to Portland, where he quickly became one of the most respected artists in the Northwest, and his community efforts have had both local and international impact.

In addition to his highly-acclaimed work in spoken work and Hip Hop, Mic co-founded GlobalFam, a non-profit (EducationWithOut Borders 501c3) project to create and maintain a computer center for disadvantaged youth in Burundi, Central Africa. Over 400 people have received free training, and it is now expanding, generating revenue and creating jobs. Mic also partnered with Education WithOut Borders (EWOB), which supports education, music and art initiatives in Portland and beyond and serves as an umbrella for the local Books For Prisoners chapter and GlobalFam itself. GlobalFam has blossomed into a music label, production, promotion, artist management, and education company providing mainstream entertainment that supports Social Justice Activism.

Mic has released numerous solo albums and been part of various Hip Hop projects. To his credit he has opened for Public Enemy, Immortal Technique, KRS-1, Mos Def and The Roots to name a few. Mic played the Bibo Festival in Halle Germany and the SWAG Jam in Berlin in 2015 and recently toured multiple cities including LA, (http://www.laweekly.com/slideshow/dead-prez-mic-crenshaw-echoplex-6476682) Oakland and Seattle 2016 with Dead Prez.
