JIT JR

Malik Alazander Barnes, known professionally as JIT JR, has been immersed in a love for music from a young age. This passion was sparked by a gift from his father-an MP3 player loaded with classic Neo-soul, and hip-hop records. This early exposure laid the foundation for his musical journey, which began at age 11 when he started playing the saxophone.

In his formative years, JIT JR's involvement in the jazz community of Atlanta confirmed his decision to pursue music seriously. Over the past 12 years, he has become a versatile musician, mastering multiple instruments and exploring various aspects of music creation. His love for modern avant-garde jazz, RnB/Soul, and Hip Hop has shaped his distinctive sound.

Ronny DoGood

Ronny DoGood fka Dysfunctional Ron, is an American born rapper from Yorktown, Virginia. His first glimpse into the world of hip hop was a borrowed copy of "Curtain Call" by Eminem in 1st grade. This ignited a love that was soon to be expressed through talent shows, youtube videos and even writing some of his own music. Hustling throughout high school and college, often spending more time in his diy recording studio than in the classroom, Ronald pushed out his first official release "Grinds and Grounds" in 2017. Using his textbooks as a microphone stand, and incense as his inspiration he popped out his first full album "Around the Garden" that same year.
