T H I R S T Y F I S H & Parts Unknown DJ Far Wes; widely known as "The Incredible Six Foot DJ" (standing an incredible 6'13 in height) is fast becoming the centerpiece of turntablism. He is rumored to have singularly mastered a scratch technique so piercing that he must practice it alone- without a power outlet... For to hear it, one's closest eardrum would withdraw into the ear canal away from the sound; creating an imbalancing equalibrium that would spin the listener in circles until cardiac failure.

For those that don't already know... The Kurt Angler, Psychosiz, of Parts Unknown and the '8-Man Kick & Shove' Customer Service- is one of most electrifying personalities in entertainment today. So much so in fact, that anyone... *ahem* ANYONE who would attempt to tell you otherwise- is most assuredly not your friend. No... Seriously. Anyone who could muster the sheer audacity to lie to your face like that is an asshole. Keep them away from your children.

Parts Unknown/PDX resident Open Mike Eagle has long been renowned as one of the most eccentric artists of our time... and reasonably so. As a testament to this- The Ziggy Starfish consistently remains at the forefront of cutting-edge; currently spear-heading the new age genre he has coined "Art Rap" Chicago natives breathe-easy. Never fear- Open Mike is here.

Dumbfoundead of the Swim Team's own Public Axis and alongside World Rap Championship partner Sahtyre makes up the third component in the three piece fish combo known as Thirsty Fish. Do not be swayed by the humble look and carefree attitude... for the rare and allusive* Alley Catfish is one of the most deadly preadators the common emSea faces in the world today.

Along with the Thirsty Fish, the Selphfish Shellfish is a founding member of the Swim Team. Accordingly, the sharp-witted idiocentric mastermind known as JoSelph not only adds a new and engaging component to the school- but also adds a unique spin on more relevant subjects... Politics... Religion... Hilary Duff. That sort of thing.

Battle-Circut veteran and Public Axis alumni, Lyraflip, is becoming a mainstay in the underground scene here in California. Alongside World Rap Championship partner VerBS- the Filipino emSea is amassing an army... What for? Only time will tell...

Ask Saht anything at all, and he'll most likely laugh in your face. The answer- being apparent. Sahtyre is an open book. One look at the Grape Jellyfish and you've got your answer. Is he drunk? Yes. Is he high? Yes. Will he serve you...? Yes. Especially since he's drunk & high.
With a mountain of battles under his belt, and a general disdain for anything not from the Project Blowed, Saht is a loose cannon- who can't wait to show your sister is loose cannon balls. Er... yeah.

Rogue~Venom has long been domineering stages with a totalian control of the human language bordering on surreal. Taking the road less travelled content-wise, Venom finds herself refraining from over-sexed psudo-gangsterism in favor of more hard-hitting wordplay and visual imagery. A tactic- it would appear, that is paying off in spades as the Swim Team’s Venomous Viperfish sets her sights on much bigger prey.

Red Fox originator and innovator - Alpha MC, the very very Choppy Fish, carries the weight of being the Swim Team Trendster. Oh, his glasses are lensless- but don't be confused. He doesn't need them to see you correctly. You need them to see him correctly. This is Alpha you're dealing with. Try and keep up.

The latest addition to the Swim Team, VerBS adds a layer of grit to the pronounced and polished squad that we've come to reckognize as much needed. Armed with a rasped voice and crass street swagger the beast known as Verbs is here... to... stay. Make room.
