ShellShoccMixedIt 🔥 Engineer and Indie Artist , Antwian Clark also known as Shell Shocc, is raising the bar in the Music Industry with his hard work, strive, and love to bring great music back to this era of what we call Hip-Hop.  With his exceptional and diverse engineering and rapping, which both the younger and older generations can enjoy, Mr. Shell Shocc is what we call, a true one of a kind talent that is going down in musical history as one of the greatest.
“I want to bring that righteous old school feel back to music; that you got when you fell in love for the very first time.”
Born in the infamous hospital Martian Luther King Jr. Hospital, also known as “Killa King”, and raised between South Central Los Angeles and 29 Palms, California, 
“Raised in the Desert with an LA Rep.”
Shell Shocc, is now taking his skills to greater heights to become one of the best multi-talented enginer and entertainer of his era.  Shell Shocc started with his love for music when he was a small child listening to his mom’s radio while she would clean the house.  A young Shell Shocc also, had the great opportunity to listen to the music his uncle Magic Mic would play while he worked as a Disk Jockey "deeJay" at parties with a young Shell Shocc in attendance. At 13 years old, while watching YO! MTV RAPS with Dr. Dre and Ed Lover, Shell Shocc, started honing his skills with rapping.  At the age of 19, Shell Shoc took his rap game "pro" when he joined the group, “The Hit Men”, but; it wasn’t until he turned 21 years old when he was sure he had a calling for music.  He was in a club and the microphone was passed his way for a freestyle, and with his audience cheering him on, he knew at that moment he had a gift that he needed to bring to the world.  With his musical influences including 2 Pac, Nas, Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and his favorite Biggie, Shell Shocc is creating great music that his fans and the world will always love and remember.
	  
“I hope to one day work with the big names that I grew up listening to!”
Shell Shocc has currently done a number of performances, such as opening for The New Boys in 2013 at Pachella Fest, opening for the Fanatics in 2012, and Opening for Suga Free in Orange County.  His latest performance made newspaper headlines from the BNR CONCERT IN 29 PALMS, CALIFORNIA 2013. The sold out concert was T.D.F.W NOVEMBER 2013, and was not only fun and exciting; but had the best quality of music, which is the one thing Shell Shocc loves to provide. 
Engineering and Producing 5 albums Grindmatic by Young Mack the Mack in 2012, Fly Gang’s Arab Goon in 2014, Live in the Moment by Carte blanche in 2012, and also 3 albums of his own already released (Yellow Pages in 2010, Desert Storm in 2012 and most recently T.D.F.W in 2014).  Shell Shocc's fun, laid back feel for music is what Hip-Hop's old and new school needs right now.  Having over 22,000 downloads and being featured on Big Scrilla’s West Side Shit 2014 album, FMG 2014 album, and a number of Carte Blanche Albums, Shell Shocc has really shown his audience of ages 18-45 that not only is he diverse, but determined to be, “One of the Greatest to represent this sacred culture of Hip-Hop music.”

​I'm Caleb. I listen to all kinds of music, but I make hip hop beats. My sound is heavily influenced by late 80's and 90's east coast boom-bap. My biggest influences as far as beat making goes are probably DJ Premier, Pete Rock, RZA, The Alchemist, Dr Dre, and Havoc of Mobb Deep. 

Born in Southern California, I was raised in and am proud to call Minnesota home. When I'm not working my day job, you can find  me in my home "lab" or playing Grand Theft Auto or something with my kids.

My music should be played at high volumes. Preferably in a residential area...

Known to the hip hop community as “Da Monsta”, Demonceie was born July 17th, 1981 in Antioch, California. After living in the small Northern Californian town for four years, his family moved to the suburbs of Walnut Creek. This move signified a departure from a multicultural environment to an arrival in a predominantly white, upper class neighborhood. For Demonceie, this was a complete culture shock being one of few Black kids in school.
 
He was soon labeled as a wild, loud but charismatic personality and self identified rebel. This reputation, and the trouble that came with it, followed Demonceie throughout his years of schooling. Detention and suspension escalated into probation and eventual incarceration. All innocence was lost.
 
Yet, even during this difficult coming of age story, Demonceie was introduced to political consciousness and the culture of hip hop through his older sister Yahsmin. He found that this was the path to follow in life and his future career in music. His songwriting developed and was influenced by the study of history and those from a revolutionary era before his time- Malcolm, Martin and the Black Panther Party.
 
Demonceie’s hunger for knowledge and wisdom was insatiable. His own father was a former dealer and musician. Although similar troubles haunted his father’s past, he instilled discipline, respect and a sense of loyalty in their home. Demonceie’s father played with two salsa bands as a percussionist (congas and bongos) and introduced the family to Latino culture and the diversities within it. 

With the encouragement of his father, Demonceie learned to play the clarinet, saxophone, percussion and several other instruments in music class. His school district was one of few to survive budget cuts in music and art programs. Having access to musical education in the suburbs and in the home fed his passion and inspired a lifetime quest to become a great musician. Music was paramount in this household, where the sounds of Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis and Quincy Jones could be heard, in addition to many Funk, Motown and Latin legends.
 
Demonceie’s mother, a white woman of mixed European ancestry, was also very important in his life. Giving the utmost love, dedication and support to those in her family, she worked over 20 years as an early childhood development teacher. The power of teaching was another guiding principle in his life, due to her shining example.
 
Being a child of the eighties, hip hop was an integral part of Demonceie’s life and development into young adulthood. He was most impacted by Tupac, Ice Cube, Too $hort, E-40, Mac Dre, Ghetto Boys and many other West Coast pioneers but credits the artists of the “Dirty South” as well. Later in life, he expanded his boundaries to include De La Soul, Tribe called Quest, Wu Tang, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Redman and Erik Sermon.
 
It was the combination of all this great music that made Demonceie the musician he is today. Demonceie takes pride in his “California underground” style of production, while still creating tracks that appeal to old school hip hop or Dirty South fan bases. As a producer, Demonceie follows the work of people like Dr. Dre, Ric Rok, Timbaland, Rza, Mike Mosely, Studio Tone, Battle Kat, and Khyree. 
Although Monsta began as an emcee, he grew into the creativity of producing and recording music of his own. As an independent producer, his goal is to create the sounds for up and coming artists trying to establish themselves, just as he did.
 
He now owns a state of the art music studio in the Bay Area, built piece by piece with his own financing, and has recorded hundreds of tracks!

Government Name: Raymond C...... II
Stage Name: Benjamin Starship 
Alias: Benjamin Blanco; Matches Malone

In the year 1990, Ray received his first breath of life on December 28 at the Bronx Lebanon Hospital. The brother to two older and one younger sister, he grew up within the Castle Hill Housing projects. His father worked as technical support for Ikon Office Solutions while his mother was submerged in the kids' academic and social life. Following the traditional upbringing of maintaining child innocence and scholastic excellence, Ray was not exposed to the elements of raw rap and hip hop culture until he reached the fifth grade, when he had been in the same room with his older sister and her then boyfriend watching MTV videos one afternoon. The life changing visuals and audio from Dr. Dre's single feat. Eminem, "Forgot About Dre" were a gateway to the plethora of new artists and ideologies in a world he had been oblivious to. From that point on he had become obsessed with music, especially the hip hop genre, writing and reciting lyrics as if they were his own.

It didn't take long for Ray to begin writing his own material. Midway through High School he was the undefeated reigning champion of the lunchroom cyphers and dubbed the Most Lyrical at an award ceremony held by the institution. After graduating, he started to take the possibility of a music career more seriously. Having put together two CD's, he released his third, "The BBQ Lyrix & Beatz" in 2009 which helped gain a small and short lived buzz on the internet and in a small town next to Jacksonville, Florida.

An abrupt shift in momentum left Ray with no producer, a fraudulent employee for a major recording company and no where to turn but school and a job in order to stay healthy and productive. However, his creativity and ambition did not die out, and as he learned more he began to pay more attention to the sort of words he used, topics he discussed and workings of various literary devices and techniques as he constructed each verse. 

Ray is currently a Herbert Lehman College student, majoring in Literature with a double minor in Education and Philosophy. Viewing music as an art form, he strives to constantly create timeless material and bring back the evolutionary progress of words spoken rhythmically to an instrumental. Self labeled as an artist/lyricist, not a rapper, Ray is versatile and prepared to bring his artistic and intellectual intelligence to any event, venue and genre.

Former Resident DJ
Family & The Biscuit Factory

At a very young age, Nathan Rowe wandered weary eyed into the kitchen of his parents home. Still running on mischievous youthfulness, he put a fully operational radio into the blender and continued to not give a fuck. As chunks of audio from crew like Underworld, The Prodigy & The Chemical Brothers flew about the room, Nathan got his very first taste of mixing music. Then and there his love for blending songs was spawned, albeit in the most unconventional fashion possible. His parents couldn't care less about the mess he'd made, and ever since then he's crept out the bedroom window at night to run around the valley and spread his eclectic taste of modern sound. Since then people of the day may call him Nathan, but when darkness falls he's Nado.

Having drifted in and out of musical love all his life, a large portion of Nado's teen years were spent in a relationship with punk. Bands like NOFX, Blink 182, Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake made up daily listening during this time, but hip hop and rap originals like Dr. Dre and Snoop kept shit honest. After turning 18, a transitional period made Nado realise there was more to dance music than the tacky stuff that plagued the radio. Once the revelation had fully swept over the now ambitious youngster, the decision to become a DJ was as clear as the Vodka on the rocks he was drinking.

Since honing in on his purpose in life, Nado has shared the booth with international royalty like Porter Robinson, Zeds Dead, Borgore, Jack Beats, Wiwek, Valentino Khan, Caspa, Zomboy, Yellow Claw, Snails, UZ, Dodge & Fuski, Doctor P, AutoErotique, Habstrakt, NGHTMRE, Getter, MUST DIE!, Delta Heavy, The M Machine, Pegboard Nerds, Ookay, ETC!ETC!, Barely Alive, Torro Torro, Victor Niglio, Sigma, Antiserum, Mayhem, Apashe, Boombox Cartel, Tropkillaz, Bear Grillz, Gent & Jawns, Brillz, Dirtyphonics, Sikdope, Herobust, Twine, Crizzly & many more, but also national treasures Will Sparks, Timmy Trumpet, Uberjak’d, Joel Fletcher, SCNDL, J-Trick, Kronic, Krunk, New World Sound, Mashd N Kutcher, Tonite Only, The Potbelleez, Chardy, Ember, Bass Kleph, DCUP, Shockone, Alison Wonderland, Spenda C, Nick Thayer, Hydraulix, Oski, PhaseOne, Trumpdisco, A-Tonez, Seek N Destroy, COMMAND Q, HWLS, Rave Radio, Slice N Dice, Surecut Kids, Matt Watkins, Rob Pix, Danny T, Tenzin, Phetsta, Doctor Werewolf, KOMES, Bombs Away & many more. He's sweated out sets in joints like Family, The Biscuit Factory, The Met, Oh Hello, GPO, TBC, Birdees, Arena, Normanby Hotel, Boundary Hotel, Fox Hotel, Chalk Hotel, Jubilee Hotel, the Velvet Underground in Cairns, Candys Apartment in Sydney, Alive on the Gold Coast, Fitzy’s in Toowoomba, Ambassador Hotel in Mackay and even waved back at punters from stages at Stereosonic, Summafieldayze, Valley Fiesta and most recently the Futuredome at Future Music Festival. Alas, he remains humble, understanding that his talent is his foundation and that only hard work will push him to where he wants to be.

Nado's rise to prominence has meaning. He understands his goals and how he'll reach them. He understands just how many other DJ's there are in the world and what it will take to stand out from the crowd. He understands that he's chosen the right path and while his liver might hate him for it, he's one of the few people on this planet truly doing what he loves. I guess throwing that radio in the blender all those years ago wasn't such a bad thing after all.
