Cameron Giles, better known worldwide as the Grammy-nominated, multiplatinum-selling rapper Cam’ron, is one of the few artists in hip-hop who has managed to remain relevant for nearly as long as the music has existed. Born and raised in Harlem, Cam’ron epitomizes the unmatched entrepreneurial spirit of the neighborhood between the 110th and 155th blocks of Upper Manhattan, having successfully tackled the roles of hip-hop artist, director, actor, screenwriter, designer, and entrepreneur with finesse. He is the de facto leader and founding member of The Diplomats, arguably one of the most influential crews in hip-hop, that has left an indelible mark on the style, language, and swagger of both New York City and hip-hop culture.
Cam’ron is undoubtedly one of the greatest anti-heroes in hip-hop: he’s the man who spawned a thousand memes, drove an unmistakable “Laffy Taffy” Range Rover, wore head-to-toe pink mink in the 2002 Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week, told Anderson Cooper he wouldn’t snitch on a hypothetical serial killer neighbor, humiliated Bill O’Reilly on his own show, closed out Mark McNairy’s runway show wearing custom Dipset capes, and whose face unofficially re-appropriated on everything from orthopedic shoes to Valentine’s Day cards. Cam’ron is truly one of a kind, a paradoxical living legend in pop culture whose point of view as hysterical as it is harrowing and accessible as it is absurd. Unapologetic and unstoppable, Killa Cam is back with a vengeance.
JT stands for his first and middle name (Jacob Troy) and he was given his middle initial based on the USC Trojans (FIGHTON!!!) and it connects his love since birth for California. The Blaze obviously stands for strait fire which represents his ability to smoke and spit lyrically, and represents his mentality of BLAZING TILL THE GRAVE!!! Born and raised in the (951), then moved to the (707) in 2007 to pursue his education, now he has graduated and dedicated his life to his music while still living and repping Cali in the (916). JT-Blaze will live and breathe the West Side until he dies!!!!
Christopher Mass better known as Doe The Unknown was born and raised in Northern California’s “Bay Area.” He has been writing and performing hip-hop music since the 6th grade. Doe has faced many set backs in his hip-hop career, often hearing criticism such as “all bay area artists sound the same.” Many have over looked his lyrical ability because they consider Doe The Unknown to be just another Bay Area artist. Even though many Bay Area artists have influenced his music, his style is not typical to the local hip-hop scene. Doe’s lyrical word play has often been categorized with such artists as Tech9, Slaughterhouse and Eminem.
In Doe The Unknown’s hip-hip career he has released three mixtapes, two albums and in august 2011 won the 2Racks Rap Contest in San Francisco. In November of 2011 he released his second album titled “Outa Nowhere” which is available on Itunes, AmazonMP3, Rhapsody and in Rasputin Record Stores.
Doe The Unknown believes that being a hip-hop artist is not about having a diamond chain or a million dollar home, but expressing yourself by painting pictures with words in a way that others can relate.
Doe is not the next “Big Thing” in hip-hop. Doe The Unknown is the next LEGEND of Hip Hop.
