94 // OZONE MAG

Jacki-O (Miami, FL) She’s the bitch you love to hate! P.R.C. (Ft. Myers, FL) The #1 group out of Florida. Papa Duck (Belle Glade, FL) He is an excellent producer/rapper, and he stays on the grind. Young Cash (Jacksonville, FL) It’s his muthafuckin’ turn. Big Floaty (Atlanta, GA) He’s paid his dues. Treal (Orlando, FL) Good music, great performance, and they stay on the grind! Swordz (Jacksonville, FL) He’s got the lyrics, the swag, and he’s a beast on the stage. TMI Boyz (Houston, TX) They are what the industry is missing. BOB (Atlanta, GA) I like his style and delivery. He is the future of Hip Hop.

Wes Fif (Orlando, FL) This lil nigga is just every–muthafuckinwhere!

Da Bosnian Incredible beat-makin’ skills for almost all of Texas. Black Mike Producer, singer, rapper, writer and class clown: be prepared to hear a lot from him in the near future.

Latasha of Carnival Beats This young lady has a voice, a look and the best producers any Southerner could ask for. Plus, what I’ve heard at their studio is even better.

Magno The once-DJ Clue-affiliated artist hopes to continue his North Houston reign with his Green City Movement.

Kyle Lee 3rd Degree’s Rap Superstar continues to make singles and drop tapes like there’s no tomorrow. Da Ryno Dirty 3rd Record’s Big Man has grown to have his own style and has been appealing to artists all over Texas. Famous With San Antonio being one of the largest cities in the US now, and no steady rap scene, Chamillionaire’s first signed artist has a bright future set for himself and his label Cocked & Locked.

Gerald G Not just because he’s my artist on Dew Music, but the energy; either recorded or live, will make everyone a 1st time fan.

Gorilla Zoe We all love the “Hood Nigga” record, and we’ve heard a couple of features. I wanna know what the album sounds like.

Chalie Boy Everyone from Texas to Florida knows this dude has the biggest street buzz down here. We’re all just waitin’ for the majors to put it on paper.
