Kayo is a Chicago based rapper and singer who’s shown glimpses of superstardom since the release of his debut album ‘It Was Fun While It Lasted’ and his close out mixtape, ‘UNTIL HIS BURIAL’. After garnering the attention of the underground rap scene with collaborations featuring the likes of Paris Price, Senite, femdot., Ausar, Stoic, Pilotkid, and many others, Kayo is looking to be one of the rising stars of this era. And from his hard hitting lyricism, infectious vocal arrangements, R&B-esque melodies, and larger than life aura, he is proving to be just that.

Gold Haze’s musical journey is undeniably influenced by a range of talented artists, from Kanye West and JAY-Z to Drake and J. Cole. Starting as a producer in 2012 and later venturing into rapping in 2018, Haze’s evolution has been marked by consistent growth and collaborations with Chicago-based artists like Flex Sinatra. Their joint effort, “Hard To Be Humble,” garnered significant success in 2016, setting the stage for subsequent projects like “Separation,” which quickly amassed over a million plays on streaming platforms.

Haze’s versatility shines through his collaborations with a diverse array of artists, including G Herbo, Brittney Carter, Vic Mensa, and many more. Notably, his instrumentals have achieved recognition on major platforms like Soulection, as well as in commercial spots for brands like Nike, Adidas, Jordan, and Puma.

Haze’s artistry knows no bounds, evident in his mixtape “More Than Gold” in 2019, a precursor to his debut album “From Here On Out” released on February 10th, 2021. Interestingly, the album’s release date coincides with the debut of Kanye West’s influential album, “College Dropout,” a source of inspiration for Haze’s own musical pursuits.

A rapper, producer, and singer from the East Side of Chicago, Tri Nohbi makes deeply melodic hip-hop inspired by everything from classic soul to gospel to old-school house music. But while each of his songs is built on catchy hooks and powerful rhythms, Tri Nohbi centers his lyrics on real-life storytelling that’s fearlessly honest. Tri grew up on an unlikely mix of gospel music and Chicago house, his mom’s two preferred genres. Also raised on Motown and soul legends like the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, and Teddy Pendergrass, he’d never listened to hip-hop until Kanye West’s Graduation arrived in 2007 and quickly became his all-time favorite album.

Born and raised in Seattle, Nathan Nzanga is a first generation Congolese-American storyteller with a whole lot of love to share.

Recognizing the power in his pen, Nzanga speaks of a universal truth while taking his audience on an invigorating ride reflecting on his journey through life’s ups and downs. Sonically, Nathan wears all of his influences on his sleeves, blending hip-hop with elements of folk, R&B, soul, gospel and musical theatre.

Nzanga wouldn’t classify himself as just a rapper, but a SoulPop Storyteller.
