What happens when dreams, struggle, art, and ego collide? The same explosive forces responsible for the creation of hip-hop are at work within the world of Man Up Records. With influences spanning the history of hip-hop, from pioneers Run D.M.C. to hometown heros, Man Up Records founded by 2 uniquely gifted MC's and one creative DJ : Flawluss, B.I., DJ Loop. The trio has grown from adolesent acquaintances to partners in rhyme, sharing a dream to take over the rap game. With tracks referencing every aspect of street life Hustle 2 Survive as well as anthems. Man Up Records re-introduces a brand of hip-hop that true fans never turned their backs on: raw, uncut, head-nodding hood music. Flawluss, 24, is the more thoughtful MC of the group, mostly taken on more projects than any man can handle. But lifes ups and downs more often sway his hand to write the stories his life seeks to tell. Like all true artists,his work is completely authentic, resulting in simply enjoyably, arrogant, true to life bars of fire. With an impeccable delivery, and a strong voice, Flawluss shines on cuts like Hood 2 Hood. B.I., 25, is the most vocal of the three. Visions of something more gratifying in life drove this intellectual to write ryhmes early in life, and love for music found its way into his heart, and created this most complex MC. With an attitude that is at times laid back, at times relentlessly aggressive, B.I. is best understood on tracks like "The Life Of Me". Completing the group is Loop, 25, the grittiest DJ of the three. Hard knock responsibilities, and loss have made Loop an animal on tracks and generated the ferocious energy that feeds this DJ skills on the beat machine. With beats that etch themselves into your memory, a beat that never runs thin, and a comicical personality that demands attention, Loop burns on tracks such as "Give It To Me". This powerful group is complimented by tracks provided by the in-house production of Man Up Records. The synenergy of these up-and-coming artists accentuate Man Up Records with a sound thats hood enough for every corner, yet could easily rock the suburbs. What happens when dreams, struggle, art and ego collide? Perhaps a more fitting question is, what happens when hip-hop collides with a supernova?
