Black Eye Kamp Crew:
THA MISSES: Growing up in Harlem was the perfect place for an aspiring rapper like Tha Misses to develop her skillz. With so many hip hop fans and venues, she began performing at 13 in school talent shows, neighborhood parties, and anywhere she could find an open mic.
In her late teens, Tha Misses became inspired by Tupac strong vocabulary and rappin’ skillz, and as she developed her own style, that inspiration played an important roll. As a result, she has seen her fan base continually grow while performing in New York Clubs, such as Remote Lounge, Demerara, Pyramid, Club Cheetah, Sob’s, Downtime, Soul Café, Don Hill, Parks and parts of the South East. Along the way she has recorded over an album of tracks, special guessed on, and recorded tracks for other artists CDs and mixtapes, but now feels it’s her time to shine.
GEN’TILE is a Far Rockaway Queens artist we met at a recording studio. After hearing him rap, it was a case of he was too good to pass up. After several meetings and visiting a few of his shows, we knew his talent was real; His passion and intensity was so convincing crowds stopped dancing and stood in front of the stage. The best way to describe Gentile style is raw, unclassified, somewhere between Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Nas. He rewarded our confidence by writing and recording hot tracks for this project, and says his best is yet to come.
CORY STORY—Young and vivacious, the talented Cor (born Corey Flook) is bringing a new energy that most east coast rappers have been missing (at the youthful age of eight teen). The young rapper feels he is mastering the talent of what a rapper is to be. America hasn’t seen the talent where a young east coast rapper posses the stardom that we are looking for since Biggie (Notorious Big), 2pac, Jay Z and current rapper 50 Cent. From the young elementary age of nine attending school in the Bronx, Cor has been laying his fruits with many of his peers awarding him as the best rapper in the school. Even now many of the students gather around to hear a freestyle set in the hallway. This led him to talent showcase after showcase winning first place time and time again. Many saw Cor as the young rapper who would come up with off the wall lyrics placing him in the elite of the unique. “His lyrics are so advanced for someone his age” says his mother. Now at the age of eighteen, Cor wants the world to know who he really is. “I’m at the plate and ready to swing my bat; I will prove my talent and I am ready to become the next young rap idol that we all have been waiting for.”
