Mane Rok: “A student of hip-hop via graffiti (which the MC credits for his battle prowess), Mane is exactly

where he wants to be-working. That is what happens after being schooled, right? Not being satisfied with the

idea of an artist boxing themselves into “developing their ‘own’ sound,” Mane continues his quest to expand

his palette as a student, having released remixes for his “This One’s” video, the song/video in support of the

“Occupy” movement with fellow Colorado MCs Jonny 5 (the Flobots), T Minus Katlyn (Wheelchair Sports

Camp), Aja Boogie (the ReMINDers), Dyalekt & Bravo One,”99th Problems,” a sneak peek into a future

project with Mercury Sauce Recordings, as well as his precursor, the premier of this website and the Mr.

Bostic (One Eyed Kings) produced “SAUL AMORE: A MODERN DAY MASSACRE.”

The ReMINDers: “The sound is best described as “soulful” awareness, and positivity influence their lyrics, with a focus on harmonizing and bringing a message. After a two-year break to raise their children, they are back with a powerful debut record ReCollect that will gain them a solid position in the music world. Aja Black, born in Hollis Queens, NY, sings and raps on the record, while Big Samir, born in Brussels, Belgium, occasionally flips back and forth from French to English with a dope bilingual flow. The couple-duo is very busy promoting positive vibes and great music for people of all ages in the world to enjoy.

Pries: “Pries is already tailor-made for music world success. Musically, his production team consistently hits him with club and radio-ready joints while lyrically Pries’ stories of college life, achieving his dreams and just straight partying are relatable to any 20-something trying to find their place in the world. With five top-notch albums under his belt, it’s possible Pries could be Denver’s Wiz Khalifa if the music gets in the right hands.” (About.com)

Foodchain: “Consisting of four emcees, two producers, and a band, in the last year Foodchain have been creating a buzz large enough to catch the attention of Shady Records. The group was personally invited by Eminem’s manager and Shady exec Paul Rosenberg to perform a set at the Shady Records Showcase at this year’s SXSW Festival. Along with coverage across a handful of major hip-hop sites, they get consistent radio play on Sirius XM’s Shade 45 and have a live show that will convert any non-believer. Foodchain is just minutes away.” (About.com)
