Bio The art form is appreciated world wide, and understood on more levels then ever before. The cultural aspects of Hip Hop are no longer the true focus of the mainstream music, now that the mighty corporate machine has grabbed control of the art. When Hip Hop music began the record companies had to learn the music and style from the artist. It seems now on all levels, the artists are forced to follow a certain criteria for success in the rap music business. So many artists sacrifice their integrity to conform and make mainstream Hip-hop music, only to have disappointing sales at release time. The game needs Pro and Reg.Artist InformationInstrumentation

Regulus-- Emcee/producer
Pro-- Emcee
DJ Addikt-- DJ/producer


From the Knomatik umbrella Pro and Reg have teamed up with DJ Addikt to push multiple singles on vinyl with a full length CD.
Regulus displays a unique style combined with profound charisma keeping him ... He illustrates his musical passion defying lyrical skills and witty vocabulary. Reg signifies expertise and knowledge of the hip- hop culture in every composed freestyle, rhyme and punch line. His chosen name, Regulus derives from the 25th brightest star in the universe. References consciously display his effort and value of defining this name.
Influenced from hip- hop at an early age, his drive has stayed consistent for years, while growing as an M.C. Branching from years battling in parking lots to now building with some of Baltimores most popular hip-hop acts. Having proudly opened venues for numerous recognized hip-hop artists, as followed: De La Soul, KRS1, Non- Phixion, Skillz (Mad Skillz), Immortal Technique, J- Zone, Louis Logic, C- Ray Walz, and many more. He previously has had the pleasure to work with Tame One, formerly of Artifacts.
Pro has lived a travelers life between the Maryland suburbs, Los Angeles CA, and Baltimore city. He emcees with fast witty east coast style flows on rugged Hip Hop tracks. He can perform, host or book venues in the Maryland, D.C., V.A. area.
Pro has been in the Baltimore city scene since 2001
He hosted The Elements party with Timmy Grinns and DJ Pfunk bringing Hip Hop shows to the Baltimore scene. He has hosted shows with big time names in the industry and shared the stage for performances with Krs1, Jeru the Damaga, Wordsworth, Black Sheep, Immortal Technique, Brand Nubian and more. He also won the major Noise Mic wars one nightstand freestyle battle in 2003, university of Maryland battle in 2004, Honorable mention in Guerilla grammar emcee battles.
Produced in the suburbs of Baltimore, AddiKt had a passion for melody and rhythm since birth. Surrounded in an environment that was heavily addikted to music. Influenced by a Mother’s love for Motown and Soul to a Father’s admiration of Jazz and Classical. With the rich sounds of these audible inspirations throughout childhood, AddiKt was being formed in the process.
Turntables were first encountered in 1998. Since then AddiKt has been developing his own unique style of scratch and rhythm. Early influences were tablists such as Rob Swift, Babu, Piklz, Beat Junkies, D-Styles.
Continually experimenting on creating a new sound every time a cut is laid down. Always seeking to help revolutionize the turntablist scene with new styles and methods that could only be created from a vinyl addikt.
Open your minds and open your ears. Welcome to rehab.
Both Pro and Regulus have exceptional freestyle skill as well as written, and the versatility to fit into any hip-hop track from down south Krunk to indie underground. Teaming up with DJ Addikt a new evolution for Hip Hop music has started, led by a force highly inevitable. Now its time for Pro and Reg to settle the score in high demand!

Reviews
CJUM - Brandon - Winnipeg, MB (University of Manitoba) “4/5. The first thing I noticed about this record is that they are promoing with some serious product. This is a really nice package; plastic sleeve, full color jacket and label and a nice pressing on some heavy wax. It makes you shake your head further at major labels that service flimsy discs with the same track on both sides. The cover is a little hard on the eyes and many heads flipping through the crates might pass this one up on account of they don’t want to try and decipher the cover text, but for us heads it sets of alarm bells. Bricks to Bmore has that rolling production and an intense yet good feeling vibe. Lyrically this record is above average thanks in part to Tame One who surprisingly doesn’t appear to be the standout emcee he has been while guesting in recent years. Old School rules is a good counterpart to Bricks, something more mellow. There’s a little bit of contrast between the Pro & Reg flows which are amped and the more smoothed out beat (the first MC more than the second) but it’s all quality. Raspy might be my favorite joint though, one of those slower ill beat type tracks to play late in your show once you’ve gotten everyone’s attention. DJ participation is on point throughout this release too.”
CKCU - DJ Ducats - Ottawa, ON (Carleton University) “I’ve run this on the show a couple times so far. Dig this one.
Joint One - Joey Slick - Tokyo, Japan (Commercial Station) “We like. We have spun a few songs off of the 12”.”
KAZI - Nick Nack - Austin, TX (Community Station) “Good to hear some new stuff from Tame. Nice production.”
KHQT - DJ SA - Los Cruces, NM (Commercial Station) “Nice one! I’m blasting this off in NM!”KSJS - Jaws - San Jose, CA (San Jose State University) “THE BEATS IS REAL DOPE AND THE RHYMES COMPLIMENT THE BEAT. SOLID RECORD. THIS IS GETTING GOOD SPINS AT KSJS. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IT’LL HIT OUR HEAVY ROTATION FO SHO.”
KSYM - Scuba Steve - San Antonio, TX (San Antonio College) “Fresh boom bap track & the MCs are pretty fresh too. I like the aggressive feel of the track & it’s well versed from front to back. The first dude sounds a lot like the Lords of the Underground. Tame One has still got it & it’s always dope to hear him on the track, as I’m a fan for life.”
KUNM - DJ Kayote - Albuquerque, NM (University of New Mexico) “The year is off to a banging start!!!! Digging the Pro and Reg!”
KWUR - Yoni - St. Louis, MO (Washington University – St. Louis) “This is getting a great response at KWUR. All the hip hop DJs are playing it.”
KXLU - Mike Nardone - Los Angeles, CA (Loyola Marymount University) “The Tame song is pretty good, I don’t love it but have been giving it some run.”
KZSU - DJ Cikee - Stanford, CA (Stanford University) “Nice collabo with Tame One. Artifacts need to get back together!”
Mixtape - DJ Quickie Mart - Los Angeles, CA “I got a lot of underground club gigs coming up. I’ll be spinnin this one for sure.”
QUAKE - Earthquake - Seattle, WA (Internet Station) “Oh yea this is nice. I like how the beat works with the style of these cats. Always nice to here Tame One rep too on a track.”
WDBM - Dustin - East Lansing, MI (Michigan State University) “Real dope production. Dudes rip the hell out of this track too. Tame one, underground overslept on legend, adds a real nice touch to this track as well.”
WICB - J-Styles - Ithaca, NY (Ithaca College) “Another solid track. The track is tight; I like how the horns come in and out. Although none of the emcees really do it for me, the mix of all of their different styles sounds really good over the track. Old school rules was probably my favorite track on this record and got the most spins.”
WMHB - Adam L. - Waterville, ME (Colby College) “I love the Pro & Reg track, “Bricks to B-More”--I gave it a good listen yesterday while I was doing some studyin for finals, and it got me goin! Solid production and crazy lyricism!”
WNHU - DJ Lokash - New Haven, CT (New Have University) “Good one. I have been spinning it consistently.”
WODU - Nesto - Norfolk, VA (Old Dominion University) “This is dope. I think the production outshines the MCs a bit though.”
WPKN - DJ Halo - Fairfield, CT (Community Station) “These cats come out swinging with the ill guest spots (tame rips it) and dope beats. Just plain good music there, rap fan or not. Mikey says he likes it.”
WPRK - Jessica - Orlando, FL (Rollins College) “The song is hot and is immediately added to the rotation! We will spin it tonight along with a bunch of the other priorities :)”
WRAS - Brandon - Atlanta, GA (Georgia State University) “Dope. We spun it on our 12/10 show.”
WRFL - Shareef - Lexington, KY (University of Kentucky) “A solid head nodder, these cats mesh well with Tame One’s smoked out style. Dope beats and rhymes always wins in the end.”
WUML - Jim Tess - Lowell, MA (University of Massachusetts – Lowell) “Pro and Reg ft Tame One is dope.”
WUSB - Oxygen - Long Island, NY (University of Stony Brook) “I’ve been bumping this. Love me some Tame One.”
Type of Label: Indie
