Band Members: Show me the love. February 14 1988 brought more than just Valentines Day to the world; a star was born. Edward O'Bryan, also known as “Fame†to his fans. Fame always knew making music was going to change his life. Along the way he’s proven that he has what it takes to make it, both in music and the business of music. Talented, smart and with his eye on the ball, this is one artist that won’t escape your attention.Two years ago Fame got his first taste of an official group with rappers Jab Squad. It was a great beginning, but it was just that and so he moved onto the solo tip. While he thrived on his own, really starting to grow and find his own style, he missed the group atmosphere. When friend Chuck T of Underground Hustle contacted him he knew he couldn’t pass up being part of the new sounds the Hustle was creating.The Underground and other groups have all been lucky to call Fame a member, but this musical powerhouse has finally come to settle on doing his best work solo. Recently signed on with No Sleep Productions, Fame can be heard spinning East Coast flow with a hint of Southern swagger. From hip hop and R&B to what he dubs “NYC Grimy Flow†Fame has a style with chart-ranking qualities and the talent to keep him there.

8B-low
Omaha Nebraska, home of the world best steaks has sent one of its best prime cuts to the West Coast to stir up the scene. Keepin’ it real and bringing the people what they want. 8B-low is West Coast style with some juicy roots.People don’t think Omaha when they think music, but like little ol’ Austin, Texas or the “second city by the bay†Oakland, California there have been some amazing talent to hail from this small city and 8B-low is no exception. Moving to Portland when he was just a kid, he brought some of this jazz and rock fusion from the biggest little city in the plains and made it into a unique rap style that stays with him today in Portland, Oregon.Starting when he was just 12 years old as Baby 8 Ball Loc, he got into the official “business†with his older brother, Portland’s original Likee Finney a.k.a Wattamouth. From there it was up, up and up. As the latest artist to sign on with No Sleep Productions, 8B-low promises to, “Keep it real. My rhymes are original and they speak to all the people out there who is just tryin’ to do the same. My music supports what they doin’ it’s real, it’s raw, they can listen and think, ‘Yah I got that, I know how that is.’â€From small cut to prime deal. 8B-low is a No Sleep Productions artist that’s going to take West Coast Style to the next level.
