With a world full of musicians claiming to be different, unique, and unlike anything music-lovers have heard before, rapper G.A.J may really be all those things. With a fresh perspective on the hip-hop genre, where it’s going, and how he fits into that equation, G.A.J recently sat down with Makin’ It Magazine to educate us on the art of hip-hop.

Artist Spotlight: Blakkwood

Written by webmaster Tag: Features

When you ask him what part of Florida he's from? He says "All of it!" When you ask him if he gets told he sounds like Slim Thugg on the mic? He says "All of time!" But when you dig deeper, you find that Blakkwood is just not another rapper who moved from his town to Atlanta to make it. He actually has a plan, and isn't planning to grip the mic until he's fifty years old. We caught up with the CEO/emcee to get more clarity.

In astronomy, the "North Star" shines brightest among others in a constellation. Fittingly, "The North Starz" are three young, dynamic producers out of Detroit, MI looking to shine the brightest in a night sky filled with would be Pharrells and Dr. Dres. Recently, The North Starz (XI, Sky, and Yung Classix) took home the crown for the ATL Beat Battle Three Year Anniversary and gave a superb showing at the A3C Hip Hop Festival's Producer Showcase in Atlanta. I caught up with them a few days later to pick their brains.
