He goes by the name of Locke Kaushal.An up and coming MC straight out of the DMV and recent graduate from North Carolina's A&T State University looking to contribute his unique style to the genre of urban music. With witty vocals and a versatile flow Locke addresses a large variety of topics, something most rappers today are incapable of doing. He appeals to the youth of today across the nation through his music and is receiving a lot of positive feedback based off of his first few pieces of material to ever be released!! Please feel free to embed the video on your site or add his mixtape The Prologue into your mixes.

Anti-Alumni is a Four-Man hip hop group from the DMV with all the raw attitude and impressive lyrics missing in today’s new hip hop scene. When you first hear the name Anti-Alumni, you may think to yourself “high school drop outs” or “no good rebels” but, in fact, that is not their message at all. Anti-Alumni means to be The Opposite of Your Class, finding ways to separate yourself from the rest of those you may be categorized with. Using that as their foundation for creativity, Anti-Alumni's main focus is to raise the bar, with every bar. With all the passion in the world, and witty lyricism, these young guys keep their music fresh, smart, and still provide us with the hard street flavor and immense swag necessary to win over any audience. Recently They Dropped Their Mixtape "The Placement Test" For Free Download On Datpiff.com (link below) and numerous other mixtape websites and have already hit over 2000 downloads and have pushed 5000 units in hardcopies. Whats next for these guys? Lets Wait And See

"Opposite"

Quick-witted and unapologetic, the two emcees Mic Lungz and Ra of Rugged Soulz make "Opposite" with one goal in mind: to address the truth about music poised as hip-hop. Undeniably classic in its landscape, "Opposite" shoots for a no-holds barred declaration of individuality in a "stan"-filled industry. Rugged Soulz, with roots based in the supreme hip-hop culture bred in the '80s, takes music fans on a time travel through the Choppy Chop-E -produced track, blanketed with heavy scratches and bass-filled percussion. Hints of
the West Coast thread in and out of the raw and unrelenting message composed purposefully with no punchlines and no gimmicks.

"Opposite" is the first single to be released from the upcoming
mixtape Terminally Ill, which is set to debut later this month.
