Individually they've been doing their thing with Chris being a dope mc and Zack growing up as a singer in the choir. Meeting in college and recording 1 song together led to their decision to form their group, Per$ona! The 4-track EP that came about is titled "It Takes Time". The album was masterfully produced by beatmaker, Young Lepa. It features amazing melodies, concepts, and genre crossing music from singer, Zack, and rapper, Chris!

Springfield Illinois is the home of the 1908 race riot that caused the formation of the NAACP. Growing up in a city with that kind of history influenced Young Pac to take racism head-on in his latest track "Ku Klux". Calling the Klan out by name Young Pac delivers heated bars their direction.




This is hustle 101. Cupid Valentino is on his grind with his new single "Paid in Full". It has a laidback vibe that you could sing along to. It also has a good message. The money don't make itself. You gotta work hard everyday for it. Cupid shows that type of dedication as he teams up with C Mike and beatmaker, Dreamlife, to drop the banger of the year! Enjoy!


Cupid Valentino is a new artist based out of Houston, Tx that has been known around as the MC of the party but after being the MC for all the parties around Houston he now is on the rise as a artist. He has a slick smooth style that sounds like a mixture of R&B and real rap.

The future of hiphop is here! Kidd Ray brings us a breakup song with a new age bounce titled “Gone”. Listening to “Gone” you’d never guess that this polished artist with the deep consciuos flow and perfect delivery is only 14 years old! Kidd really has a way with words as he speaks on his last relationship and moving on to bigger and better things. He shines the hardest as he harmonizes the hook, singing “Now she hitting up my phone now, hit me on the snap, but she know I’m gone now”. G the Genius delivers an extra wavy, sample influenced beat and rising New Orleans rapper, Daniel Heartless anchors the track with a rough verse. This serves as the new single from Kidd Ray’s upcoming mixtape, "It's Up There" releasing under the GWOP Inc label on 01/13/2017.


From the new generation of hip-hop, emerges 14 year old New Orleans-based rapper Kidd Ray from G.W.O.P. Inc Music Group. Kidd Ray began learning the art of music and developing his own musical style at the age of 7 years old. He was a fan of all Cash Money artists including B.G., Juvenile, etc. and was also heavily inspired and taught by two amazingly talented hip-hop artists; his father Maserati 5ive and BlaXuede. They motivated him to learn his craft and express himself through music which helped him to become a talented writer & rapper.
