Sean Divine Jacobs, more commonly known as Sheek Louch, has been in the game for over two decades as a rapper and member The LOX and founder D-Block Records, along with Styles P and Jadakiss.
He has released six studio albums over the years, including his most recent project, “Silverback Gorilla 2,” which dropped in 2015.
Squidnice
Squidnice, hailing from Staten Island, New York, has dropped a number popular singles (his number one hit “Trap By My Lonely” earned a Frank Ocean co-sign), and a mixtape, “The Craccen,” which have generated a lot buzz and turned Squidnice into a hometown hero.
His unique droning-style rap originally caught on in New York, but he has since become a hit in the music industry outside the Big Apple.
Siya
Growing up in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood, Siya began rapping at the age seven years old and had entered the music industry by the time she was 12.
As one the first openly gay female rappers, Siya went on to release her debut studio album in 2016 titled, “SIYAvsSIYA.” She followed that up with her EP 383- For Roosevelt in 2017, and most recently released, “Mad Energy” in August 2018.
