Key Styles a Los Angeles music producer/artist/writer began his musically inspired journey at a very young age. While other kids were out playing he would sit for hours in studios and garages and listen to his father and his group called DBS MOB. He would watch as they would play various instruments, write lyrics and record music not because he had to but because he was drawn to it. DBS MOB which was a former Hip Hop group under Rudy Pardee of the LA Dream Team. At the age of thirteen Key Styles began writing lyrics to various instrumentals in hopes of becoming a successful recording artist of his own one day. He was once told that his dream of becoming an artist and producer wasnt possible, rather that become discouraged he then would challenge the words given to him and for that he became very passionate about the production aspect of music through composing instrumentals while learning piano, drums and guitar. Having moved around a lot and being a middle child with two hard working parents, Key Styles always felt the need to succeed and make his family proud. That motivation and drive expresses most of where the power in his production comes from. He believes "Nothing is forever, forever is a lie, all that we have, is what's between hello and goodbye" Later on Key would link up with a Los Angeles radio DJ Flash Fade who was following the same journey. Together they would create The Dream Team. A super production entertainment team in reflecting the knowledge of where music has been but also where music is going through beat making, lyric writing and musical arrangements. Together the two have produced dozens of tracks and have gained the attention of respected artists such as Young Life, Xzibit, Young De and B-Real of Cypress Hill. As of now there is no stopping them but if you plan on locating them you can only expect to find them at the top.

Item
Up and coming artist, ITEM, was born December 16, 1989 in Staten Island, New York, out of the Mariner Harbor Projects. Due to his parent's divorce at the tender age of 2, this resulted in ITEM moving around New York often. By age 6, ITEM discovered his love of singing through the local church choir. ITEM's father Ray Daniels, also a former singer and now CEO of Drahma Musik Ent., played a huge role in ITEM's life, exposing him to the ups and downs of an artist and showing him-its not always peaches and cream. At age 10, ITEM finally settled down in SoCal. His love for music continuously grew into mixing his love for singing and rapping, from age 14, to the artist he is today. After high school, ITEM was introduced by long time mentor and cousin Jason to his best friend and producer Key Styles. Together they developed a sound that matched the raw emotion and natural talents that ITEM had within, and brought it to the surface. Together, they also formed the "Dream Team" crew. ITEM was recently added to a compilation CD called The Ray Daniels Project through Indie Record Label Drahma Musik, distributed by Island/Def Jam. ITEM is still currently in Development and on the verge of releasing the best of, the ever-evolving, hip -hop/rap music. ITEM can be found online at various social media sites-Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
With the change of time and culture, the music and arts, especially hip-hop, befit themselves as the catalysts for the transgressions and troubles of the life and times that people encounter on a day-to-day basis. More than a form of expression, hip-hop carries a life and soul of its own in the countless stories it tells. For one rapper, it was that and much more. September 29, 1985, marked the birth of a seed that would sprout within the social bounds of scarcity and domestic neglectâGeorge Abourjeili, a.k.a Boston George, or simply put, Bostonâwith no more a father figure than the disc that spun in his walk man could offer. Carrying with dear life the aspiration to achieve renown in the hip-hop world, Boston pushed forward to make his dream a reality. With his unremitting diligence and dedication, Boston has begun to gain recognition, at least from a local level, through a talent that cannot be denied, not superficiality.Bostonâs mother and father were both born and lived in Lebanon. In the mid 80âs, caught in the cross-fire between an all out civil war, they fled to L.A. California with hardly enough money to get by. Escaping the brink of war was not enough to escape debauchery of violence, however; Bostonâs father was a guerilla fighter in the war for several years during the Lebanese 20 years war. Moreover, his father would be the mentality of guerilla aggression to the household. Bostonâs childhood would be characterized by incessant violence and domestic abuse. Finally in 1999, Bostonâs father would have evaded the country due to legal problems. The echoes of aggression and emptiness, however, would carry over to Bostonâs thoughts; and more resoundingly, his rhymes. The only remedy that Boston could find in the desolation of a broken home was the sweet melody and rhythm of hip-hop tunes. Music was the only way in which he could escape the daily mart of strife and depravity to some extent of peace of mind. Nevertheless, the economic situation of the family could not be evaded. Struggling to make ends meet, Boston family life with his mother consisted of anything but family life. Hip-hop would befit the position of the father that Boston so wistfully yearned. Spending his nights and days, even in school, listening to rap and writing poetry to evade the stark reality of life, Boston honed his skills and endeavored to escape the abyss wherein misfortune had put him. Arduously enduring the physical violence of childhood and a socioeconomic status just short of impoverishment, Boston would get in an accident that would nearly take his life. On September 1, 1997, during a basketball game, a loosely bound wall of heavy concrete stones collapsed on Bostonâs body, nearly putting him in a state of paralysis or death. For the next year, hip-hop and poetry would be the only nurse that would revive him from the brink of death, both physical and emotional. It was in this period of time that Boston would become serious about ensuing the noble craft of a hip-hop emcee. Life after the accident would never be the same again.During class, Boston would preoccupy himself with poetry and lyrics. One of his poems, The Man Who Never Was, was even published in a national seller on November of 2003. Skipping class, he engaged in freestyle battles and local performances, making a name for himself on a local level. His witty flows and brilliant rhymes would be labeled âbetter than crackâ (or blow). Hence, comes the name Boston George, after the motion picture Blow, where George, played by Johnny Depp, from Boston, would pursue the career of a large-scale drug dealerâi.e., pushing blow. Similarly, Boston George would endeavor to push his better-than-crack rhymes like blow. Art and music manifested into a way of life, and Bostonâs mission would be to enhance words from their mere weakness to an unrivaled potencyâfrom words to blowHip-hop grew more than just an infatuation or interest in poetry. It is the life and soul of Boston George. It was the only thing that tenaciously catered to him in times of neglect, misfortune, or even physical disability. It is that soul that we find in Bostonâs rhymes. Through continuous diligence, Boston has moved on to a position of local repute, establishing an independent record label and entourage of skilled and diligent proponents of his enterprise. Unshaken by the prospect of failure, Boston continues to make a name for himself in the state of California. Time is money, and Boston is out to get both and waste none.
