Monk HTS

Having spent that last few years helping cultivate Bay Area Hip Hop sounds as a producer/engineer for local artists. Monk has switched his hand from solely producing to putting his lyrical abilities on the map as well. With his debut project, "Safe Travels" Monk elevates the local sound and culture with raw talent and ability both as a music producer and a rap artist. Meshing live instruments—from acoustic strings and guitars, to trumpet solos and unique percussion—with samples from soul, jazz, funk, and rock genres in classic Hip Hop style, Monk’s music provides refreshing crisp flavor and soul, as well as an artistic vision that takes whomever is listening on a journey through the San Francisco streets.

Sonny.SOUF

Sonny.SOUF is a performing emcee from Hayward, California. He continues to release music with family member, producer, and engineer . Drawing inspiration from the elements of Hip Hop, he combines cathartic lyricism with slick rhyme schemes. SOUF = Sending out unique frequencies.

Jack Herrier

Protect, Love, Flourish.

These are the core tenets of artist Jack Herrier. Born in Oakland California and drawn to music from a young age, he uses his passion for the craft and art to create messages directed at positive change, critical reflection, and radical self improvement.

His debut Album EGOSYSTEMS explores the Dichotomy between humanity as individual and humanity as a collective. How no one person bears an Ego, but rather an Egosystem: a series of relationships and beliefs that inform one’s sense of self.

Nicofasho

Nicofasho has developed a style that is as modern as it is nostalgic. He is as likely to be heard spittin’ over an 80’s funk sample that sounds right out of 98.1 Kiss FM’s Renel In The Morning Show as he flowing over a dusty boom bap beat that invokes 90s golden era hip hop. With an elastic delivery that molds around its environment, he prides himself on making even the most mundane aspects of everyday life sound fly. Regardless of the sonic soundscape, he approaches songs with a levity and honesty that define him as an artist.
