D.C.
Artist - Streetwyze
Dorrian Carraway, AKA D.C. AKA Lil’ D, was originally born in Atlanta, but moved to St. Petersburg, Florida in 1989. D.C. began to fall in love with Hip Hop when he heard Uncle Luke and the 2 Live Crew. Their song “Banned in the USA†was the first single he ever bought. He began rapping at the age of twelve with his cousin S.K. in the attic of their house in Reading, Pennsylvania. The two would play Tupac’s “Hail Mary†and make their own version of the song over Tupac’s lyrics. D.C. made his first song over a DJ Magic Mike instrumental at the age of fifteen. He has been rapping officially for four years and unofficially for seven. His inspirations include: UGK, DJ Magic Mike, Tupac, Trick Daddy, Eightball and MJG, Nas, Cousin S.K., B.I.G., and Souljah Slimm. :

Ebonie *-*-*-*
Artist - Streetwyze
R&B's newest sensation...reminiscent of Anita Baker and Toni Braxton, this Southern Songstress is sexy, edgy, and is a long awaited breath of fresh air... While she is new to most, Ebonie has been around for a while, and is recoginized mainly by the work she has done with Disturbing Tha Peace's Soul Artist Shareefa. In her voice you can hear the pain of unrequited love and the bitterness that has tinged it. Her warm, sensual vocals bring to life lyrics that anyone who has ever been in love and lost can relate to. :
Shiz
CEO - Streetwyze
Shiz was born in JFK Hospital and raised in South Philadelphia first living in tasker project's later on he moved to 24th& moore Street. At the young age of 12, he realized he had an ear for music listening to his father's band record in his grandmother's basement back in the mid 70's. Growing up,Shiz was into breakdancing, boomboxes and recording Lady B on WDAS fm in Philadelphia. He grew up listening to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Sugarhill gang,RunDmc & Jam master jay,LLcool j,Mally mal & the Juice crew,Jazzy jeff & Fresh prince, KRS One and Public Enemy. Now the CEO and founder of Streetwyze Productions, Shiz was influenced early on by Quincy Jones, Barry Gordy and watching Russell Simmons in the movie Krush Groove. He admired how Russell Simmons started Def Jam and turned it into the empire that it is today and also how P-diddy Andre Harrell and other Hip Hop icons of the early nineties took hold of the rap game and made it what it is. Shiz has worked with artists such as Yung Dc,Ebonie,Saizzar, Rokstarr,E-Class, Philly Frank, Billy the Kid, Rob Live and currently Gwap,I-Hop,Lil Ant & Broadway & LiL Fate (of DTP) all from Atlanta. Back in the day, he would take some of his early artist into Butch’s club after hours and let them spit 16 bars over instrumentals. From that point on,they all just started yelling ‘StreetWyze’ and formed the label it is today.
