Griffen is a Chicago based hip-hop artist whose story is painted on the walls of underground folklore. Formerly known as The Immortal Griffen, his style can be summed up as unrelenting; unapologetic. With 30 mixtapes to boot, 3 albums available at all online retailers, and countless appearances as a guest artist – unrelenting is pretty accurate. The unapologetic part applies because, above all, he has done it HIS way…

Eric Oropeza, better known as Epik1, is an emcee and producer/DJ from Chicago. Growing up in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood, he was introduced to the elements of hip hop through graffiti and breakdancing in the early 90’s. Epik became more involved in hip hop in the late 90’s when he began freestyling with friends and DJing at local events. When he got his first MPC in 1999, Epik began his career making beats, writing rhymes and soon began recording his own independent music.

Matthew Morgan is a bit complicated. He’s a folk troubadour of the most anachronistic sort, who pulls from Nick Drake as much as Neil Young. His tenor voice floats above delicate arrangements, but its warm, soulful character gives the feeling of great depth. An openly-gay man in a musical subculture that, historically, has not been especially open-minded about such matters. A storyteller whose songs feel less like stories than paintings.
