Billy Woods is a rapper who defies easy categorization; he claims Washington D.C. as his hometown but has spent much of his life in New York City. He was born in the U.S. but spent much of his childhood in Africa and the West Indies, the second child of a Jamaican intellectual and a would-be Marxist revolutionary. On the mic, woods is no less of a conundrum, possessed of versatile flows and an ability to not only tackle topics other artists wouldn’t dream of, but also to bring unique perspectives to the familiar ones.

Eric Dontè

From his androgynous and esoteric fashion to his blistering intense performances, Eric Donte has become one of STL's most hyped and provocative artists in recent memory. Describing his own music as 'ghetto trance' Dontè's sound draws from hip-hop, punk, rnb and house music with experimental bent. Growing up as a queer misfit, Eric has always embraced self expression in spite of pressures to be 'normal'. There is nothing normal about Eric Dontè, and that's the way he likes it.

Nadir Smith
Abstract post-dance-music enigma from STL
