About Me


STYLISH. ORIGINAL. TALENTED. SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOPESH*T.


These are just a few of the words used to describe Epoch (pronounced epic) and their refreshing form of talent. Both classically-trained MCs, TNS (short for TheNativeSoul) and Sonnet rose from the depths of underground hip-hop's influence on their rhymes, the flair for the dramatic of the music world's best and brightest stars, and combined the two attributes to form an act unlike no other. Simply speaking, they're fly, cocky bastards who can back it up on the mic.
Raised on the Southside of Chicago, IL., these two MCs have learned from names like Black Star, Outkast, Camp Lo, Philly's Most Wanted, The Clipse, Raekwon & Ghostface circa Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Lootpack, CNN, M.O.P., The Roots' Black Thought & Dice Raw / Black Thought & Malik B.....and have taken from these legendary tandems the art of co-existing on a platform in order to make stellar music. Epoch understands the newfound fascination that the youth have with the fashion of yesteryear, but Epoch wants to send out a public service announcement with every single track that they make. For every artist borrowing from the visible STYLE of those greats which made hip-hop what it is today, Epoch would rather honor the lyrical style of those same greats. Truly "Bringing Back The 80's" with a flair that Prince x Big Daddy Kane x KRS-One x Tony Toni Tone x A Tribe Called Quest would love and appreciate. We love the past greats, but space is the place. Look ahead!
Picture your style, your mystique, your everyday trend....and imagine the originators of your trend acting as bulldozers coming to set straight the rules and regulations of their created domain. Epoch flips all impostors, all fakers, all posers, on a fashion diagonal, imploring style instead of the here today, gone tomorrow approach that most rappers and acts have. Epoch will be Epoch 10 years from now. Epoch will not change to fit any demographic. Intelligence is always in style. Treated. Finally, Epoch hopes to instill in their listeners the necessary tools to make the leap from Fashion to Style, from Follower to Leader, from Years to Epochs. Come along and experience the rise of the next level of creativity, the pursuit of perfection, the majestic music of Epoch. We're good, but with you on our side we can be great.
