King K-Ro was raised in Cairo Georgia's, Grady County Martin Terrace Projects - a small town twenty-five minutes from Albany Georgia - which is home to local rap group legend "Field Mob" & 30 min from Tallahassee which is home to hit maker rapper turned singer, T-Pain. An area that he feels is so overlooked when it comes to talent. A portion of the city that well known for hustlers and go getters amongst racism & low income families. Embedded with deep southern hospitality & a strong southern family oriented upbringing made this young talented man face adversity with true confidence. Dealing with everyday issues he found an avenue to vent by writing everything he went through, was exposed to or overcame down on paper, which later transformed into writing aggressive lyrics & heartfelt songs. Upon losing his very close friend & sister-like aunt, he decided he had to do something great in life in her absence. King was always told by his aunt, that he would be somebody and become famous, which caused him to stick with his passion. (Music & Film) King’s older cousins and uncles  use to always joke with him and tell him that he looked like rapper. He discovered a passion for music when he moved to Atlanta to live with his close Uncle after the passing of his aunt. Immediately learning how to play the keyboard and work fruity loops, how to structure songs, and how to count bars and verses for songs, was inspiring for King K-Ro. At the age of 16 he took the art of hip-hop serious and has been gaining a lot of respect and fans, as a great artist and songwriter. He is often compared to T.I. Bow Wow, Ludacris, and Kirko Bangz and is always mistaken to be those artist when in public. His vicious and heartfelt lyrics are incomparable, but some say he is lyrical in comparison to a young Jody Breeze, T.I. in his "Im Serious" days, and Ludacris. --"Its a blessing to be able to do what i love & be noticed as a great artist and even better to be compared to some of the best artist in this business"-- Without a doubt, King K-Ro is a goldmine to any label seeking raw talent!

Chris is sharing the new music live at select Canadian dates beginning with a Toronto date in July in support of Michael Franti & Spearhead at the Danforth Music Hall.

Haitian American and Brooklyn based rapper Paul Juste better knows as Polo Paul has been foraging a path in the rap industry that will easily substantiate those claims. Already with an extensive music catalog on his résumé, Polo has establish himself as an artist exceptionally well displaying a versatile range of musical styles and rapping ability. 

Polo Paul, born as Paul Juste, was born on Christmas Day to his late mother, Florence Juste in New York City, and has become a gift in many ways. Polo possesses an advanced nature of lyrical content kand performance skills. Relocating in various places around the East coast, from his home town of Brooklyn, NYC to Montgomery County Maryland, he developed a natural love for music at the age of 11. While attending SUNY College at Old Westbury, he couldn't help but create an outlet for himself to release his great work and notify the public of his story. 

Releasing the mixtape “Summer In The 90’s” back in August of 2018, Polo Paul returns with the newest iteration of the series,“Summer In The 90’s 2”, approaching it as full length album this time around. Further delving into a more refined style, the 11 track listed album contains a nostalgic feel of the original mixtape yet Polo divulges much further into the musical realm, covering a lot more ground and bases, by testing the waters in different sub genres on this album. With the leading single, “Pitkin” produced by Bvndo, it’s  Polo’s biggest record of 2023 which is extremely fitting since the song is an ode to Polo’s birthplace Brooklyn, New York,  encapsulating the current sound of the city, a dance song giving women and kids a chance to make another viral dance, and the fellas a song they can bop to.  Polo followed that up with the single and intro to the album, “Old Hoes Pack”, 1 of the 4 produced songs on the album by Fckbwoy, Polo released a video of the song in collaboration with Block Work, with an extensive rap performance throughout, Paul ends the track leaning into his toxicity proclaiming to be smoking on all the old women from his past. The third single, “Cash Loan”, another production by Fckbwoy, is probably Polo’s most befitting title to a song he’s ever put out because exactly like a cash loan you could bank on Polo. And that’s precisely the picture Paul paints with this track, letting everyone know that he’s more than paid his dues in the rap game and it’s time people start putting their money and bank on his consistency and undeniable work ethic and talent.  The record” All That” produced by FckBwoy as well,  features fellow New York artist Phantom, and the two hailing NY emcees compliment one so well like a dynamic duo. Both boasting how they both have become “All that” in the rap space through different walks of life while loosely playing off the late 90’s show with bars like “ And I hold that nick at night these b—— think I’m all that“ and “We smoke  the nick at night she don’t smoke but still think I’m all that” flex their natural abilities and making fun yet meaningful records. Such a song so triumphant as Polo Paul’s “Game Day”, could seemingly fit on an NBA 2K or EA Madden soundtrack. Arguably his most motivational and energizing song to date, Polo taps into psyche of those hungry to achieve something greater than themselves There’s an array of music for everyone on this project, melodic songs, hard hitting raps and metaphors, New York drill, chopped & screwed, dance hall, you name it. If the fans would say Polo found his sound on the Summer In The 90’s mixtape, than “Summer In The 90’s 2” is were he absolutely mastered it. Showcasing his range foraging into different pockets, flows, and cadences and showcasing his reach in his rap and music period with the high level production and artist featured. Even planning a deluxe album in the not too distant future, Polo his pushing his craft to the absolute limit for himself and you the listener.

Every once in a while, the warring worlds of fact and fiction come together in peace. Almost 10 years ago, I was tasked with telling my little brother bedtime stories to calm his nightmares. It was critical to our task that we bring novelty and inspiration to his nervous system, which like lots of kids these days, had some yet undefined and generational traumas to calm. 

To do this, I explored the infinite world of storytelling as a healing force. We delved into underwater festivals where turtles judged joke-telling competitions; we travelled through ancient earth treasure hunts for the origin of crystals; and we even saved the future from doomsday with our invisible weapon called “laughter music!” This was the beginning of an adventure in my reimagining basic assumptions about life and healing, like for example, how the world of opposites actually need each other.

Having been born in Michael Douglas' basement from parents who gardened and cooked for his estate, I was always keenly aware of the social inequities and paradoxes of my California upbringing. When I was 8, my mother took me to Nicaragua and I witnessed the poverty and wars that upheld our affluence back home. I became obsessed with how creativity and other everyday common expressions of love - like sports or healthy food - could bring people together to heal judgements and make change. From teaching in inner city American schools to performing on solar-powered stages to Get Out The Vote, from laying bricks or forest seedlings in Haiti after the earthquake to catching Bono for 3 days straight at a music video / Super Bowl commercial shoot, it's all been part of this larger questioning of how my imagination can help heal our world in crisis. Since then, I've won awards, published a bestselling book and am enroute to hosting a fresh TV series. But it's all with a grain of salt: for no man is an island and our greatest bridge to cross the shark-infested divide might actually just be a song, some seeds or a loving embrace.
