Hue Hef

Who would have thought a town as small as Bowman would be home to one of hiphop’s strongest voices? The voice I’m talking about belongs to South Carolina’s own Hue Hef. His grammar, his swagger combined with his flow has put him in position to compete with some of the hottest hiphop artists in the country. Hue Hef can spit line for line with any lyricist from any region! With a flow that is being compared to Southern Legends like T.I. and Juvenile, this 21 year old wordsmith has put the streets, the clubs, and radio on smash. His single “Shut Em Down”, buzzed the airways and caused havoc on the regional music scene in late 2005. With the anticipated release of his new single “Ain’t My Style”, Hue Hef is poised to go where no other rapper from the Carolinas has gone before. The world will know what the Carolinas have already found out; HUE HEF IS THE "CAROLINA SPOKESMAN!"

Donnie Darko

Some people are born to dominate, some are born to control, and some to become superstars, D-Darko was created to do all three. This 19 year old Brick City (Newark, New Jersey) native is causing havoc on the underground Hip- Hop scene. His freshman album release “Darko Effect” (NSD Records/2005) was stamped by the underground Hip- Hop coinsures as one of the best underground albums to be released in 2005/2006. A DJ Bless prodigy, D-Darko has manifested into a lyrical power house. Compared to the late Big L; D-Darko spits raw in your face Hip- Hop.
