A.P. --- Born and raised in Trenton, NJ A.P. was acquainted to music at the tender age of 8. Hip-Hop was influential in helping him stray away from the realisms of growing up in the ghetto. Knowing that music was more to him than just a hobby he began tagging along with local DJs and rappers to learn the business and make his own music. In his early teens he and a few of his friends started a rap crew, which turned into the dynamic independent label- Underworld Entertainment. In between time, A.P. released over 11 compilations independently as well as produced most of those projects. Proving that he is truly a jack of all trades he also produces for local artists in the Trenton area. A.P. has released a series of mix-tapes on datpiff.com, including “The Lost Tapes” series, which is a collection of old and rare material that hasn’t appeared on any of his released projects. He is currently shopping for a record deal and continuing to work the mix-tape circuit. In 2011 A.P. was a headliner in a ground breaking cypher that included a few elite indie artists that are on the come up in New Jersey. Gaining more acclaim, he was featured in the Breeding Ground Spotlight for AllHipHop.com A.P. is also gearing up to release his most anticipated mix-tape, “A Prayer, Push-Ups, & Piffy 3” late 2013/early 2014, & has released the first single “Crackbabies” featuring Ransom & Ebony Porter. Get familiar with the self proclaimed Mayor- A.P.! Dre Skuffs, is an artist that can touch any individual personally with his passionate yet vicious delivery. Heavily influenced by real life, struggle, and hunger, this Willingboro, NJ emcee has the ambition and skill to single handedly force his way into the game. Growing up Dre spent a lot of time in Trenton, NJ which gave him a sense of diversity within his music. Writing rhymes since the age of 11, hip hop has become an outlet for Dre to express himself.

Four words come to mind every time I hear a Dre Skuffs joint: Breath of fresh air! Exactly what the industry has been lacking! Dre is putting the word ART back in the word artist. Enough said! DJ Jay Ski (DJ for 107.9 The Beat Philly & the Ladies First/Sirius-XM radio w/ Monie Love) Dre Skuffs is a talented hip hop artist who is definitely on the rise. I really like his flow on Which Way and its just a glimpse of where his potential is going to take him. Jean Baylor (Zhane) Dre Skuffs is a legend in the making offering a solid message that is almost unheard of in this new age of hip-hop. He is truly the artist that you must hear for yourself,the hunger and ambition that he and his team has should be enough to prove that Dre Skuffs is the next big thing in hip-hop!
