1. Sean Daley, Slug, Atmosphere:
Minneapolis, Minnesota isn`t exactly the ideal spot to try and maintain a career in hip hop, but somehow, Slug has managed to do just that. Slug has seen many overcast days on his way to underground hip hop stardom. After 20 years of rhyming, this rapologist has no problem tapping into his ether. He hasn't forgotten that a new MC is born every night, and to maintain his position as a Midwest heavyweight, he must be ready for the verbal fight club at any moment. Grazing through woeful pastures of intelligence with Slug is like having a conversation with Einstein and Shakespeare mixed with street corner linguistics.
2. Liam Gibbs:
A popular Psychedelic-Trance producer as well as co-founder and operator of South African label Nexus Media whose music usually takes a darker twist to mainstream full-on psy.
