YP aka Backwood Jones is an Eastside Chicago rap artist that has made his city proud. Inking a deal with Universal/Republic Records in 2011, YP started the wave of signings that featured Chief Keef, King Louie, etc.

YP started rapping in 2007 and has evolved into a beast. He has opened for legends of the game, with Q-Tip & Nas co-signing his talent. Already releasing a half dozen critically acclaimed mixtapes between 2011-2013, be on the lookout for the next offering, Backwood Jones, in Summer 2014.

After raising the bar of creativity for emcees everywhere, Chicago native Michael “Lungz” Hicks is doing it again with his newest release, “Dream Killaz”! Hosted by DJ Don Cannon and presented by Ruby Hornet, Fake Shore Drive, The Basement, and LDRS 1354, the project is scheduled to be released on September 13, 2011. After working closely with Cannon for 7 months on its production, it has become evident that this is no average project! Full of difficult cadences and diverse rhyme structures over all-original music, Lungz delivers a project that is in no way predictable!
