Tracy Jamestina Davies, known professionally as Jamestina, is a Sierra Leonean-American singer, songwriter, and producer. Born and raised in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Jamestina found interest in playing the piano at the age of 6 and soon enrolled in piano lessons. By the age of 7, she began singing and performing at school recitals and talent shows.
Jamestina grew up singing in church and participated in various performing arts activities in school. By 2006, she emerged into songwriting. Jamestina soon broke out of her shell and performed at open mic nights in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD, karaoke nights at school, and local talent shows.
Jamestina attended Dr. Henry A. Wise High School where she enrolled in dance classes, sang in the school choir and was selected to sing in the school’s vocal ensemble group. During her college years, she was asked to sing at various campus events and functions.
In April 2017, Jamestina unsuccessfully auditioned for Season 13 of The Voice in Philadelphia, PA. Although she did not make it, she continued to preserve in music and began recording her original music. By the summer of 2017, she released B.L.A.C.K. In 2018, she found interest in music production after attending a networking event in D.C. for music producers. After seeing how very few female music producers were in the room she was inspired to start producing. In that same year, she bought all the equipment needed for a home studio so she could produce and record music in her room. She began producing ‘Trust Issues’ and soon released it in 2019.
Jamestina’s remains motivated by looking to her musical influences - Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Missy Elliott, Chaka Khan, and Tina Turner.

Wordsworth and Pearl Gates navigate through tragedy and triumph with musical moxie on Champion Sound. Having previously collaborated on various projects (Wordsworth solo albums, eMC), this effort allows their familiarity to sonically take shape in ways, both complimentary and dynamic. This thirteen song, Quincy Tones-produced ensemble evokes the spirit of quintessential east coast hip-hop while elaborating stylistically beyond its boundaries. Quincy Tones, born and raised in West London, has produced for Royce Da 5’9 (Dinner Time), Jay Electronica and Diddy (Ghost of Christopher Wallace), Fashawn (Man of the House), and eMC (Winds of Change). Quincy Tones describes his sound as melodic, soulful, and emotional. Champion Sound is an honest journey into the human experience; traveling through captivating melodies, stellar drum loops and witty lyricism at the speed of life. Guest features include the legendary Kool G. Rap, Talib Kweli, Rasheed Chappell, and eMC affiliate Masta Ace. As Wordsworth says on the album titled track Champion Sound, “Title Contenders and Rivals surrender’”.
Wordsworth is a musician and graduate of the University of Miami, with a Masters of Music Business, and a graduate of S.U.N.Y Old Westbury, with a bachelors degree in Language Arts. In 2016, he was honored as one of the top 50 graduates of Old Westbury. He used his unique skill to write his college papers in rhyme in multiple subjects. Recently, he’s received a Masters of Secondary Education, from Grand Canyon University. He is also known as a Co-creator of MTV’s The Lyricist Lounge Show. His music has appeared on shows such as Criminal Minds and NCIS. His musical contributions expand to animation soundtracks such as Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Dexter’s Laboratory: Hip-Hop experiment, and currently appears as himself on Netflix’s Peabody and Sherman, season 1 episode 2. Also, he is part of the Hip-Hop group eMC, with Masta Ace and Stricklin.
Since, 2016 he has excelled as a teacher and developed a music course unlike any in the country. Wordsworth appeared on Fox 4 news discussing the program https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/oak-hammock-middle-school-combines-music-and-learning
The curriculum has been created to contribute something unique to world after receiving his Masters of Music Business. He plans to turn his curriculum into a national course. He is currently working on an autobiography, documenting his journey of music and education. Wordsworth was recently the guest speaker at New York’s Baruch College to speak during one of their music business classes.
Washington Heights, New York bred rapper/singer Pearl Gates is a fresh face in Hip Hop but no stranger to blessing industry insiders and fans with quality music.
Pearl Gates released his first mixtape "A Star In A Broken Sky" and immediately began to strengthen his grassroots movement. This led to opportunities touring with Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Boldy James (Mass Appeal Records) and PRhyme (Royce da 5'9 and DJ Premier).
Gates appeared alongside rap supergroup eMC (Masta Ace, Wordsworth, and Stricklin) on "Fly Thoughts," the first single off their album "The Tonight Show" (via Penalty Entertainment/Sony RED) and inked a deal with Below System Records (Netherlands) shortly thereafter. His debut EP “Diamond Mind” was released in 2015 and features production from Khrysis of Justus League (9th Wonder), Kic Beats, iRobot Scott (for Triangle Park Music) and Sirplus. Artists featured include Masta Ace, Wordsworth, and Boldy James among others.
He then followed up with "Play This," an EP with fellow rapper Syll which gained support from the likes of DJ Premier and DJ Eclipse, and led to Kool G Rap featuring Pearl on his album "Return of The Don" alongside Crooked I and Willie The Kid on the song "World Is Mine." He's also featured on albums from Ed O.G, Blu and DV Alias Khryst among others.
His critically acclaimed full length debut album "Live From The First" was released in 2017. The well received outing features Cassidy, Torae, Bri Steves (Atlantic Records) and Geechi Suede from Camp Lo.

Innovative character that brings a fresh new sound to a world filled with monotony.
There were so many artists coming out but they seemed to have a similar sound as well as subject matter and look.
Says Vega, I found myself wanting to have the same feeling I had when I first
heard music from Nas or Outcast,
I wanted to have the feeling of hanging onto every word or
waiting for the next release date or concert.
The artist I was waiting for never came along.
So I decided to become that artist.
Within the first year of starting his movement General Vega
has accomplished many things as a new artist
He Released his Debut offering titled, "General Vega
Presents: Geek Mobb The Album. He's been interviewed
by numerous radio stations like
Fly 93.5 Big Ray in The Basement and notably HBR 97.5 Nairobi Kenya by Dj. Zaq and his co host Corrine.
I couldn't believe I was being interviewed by someone in Africa.
I was completely floored Says Vega. It was a pleasure and a major sence of accomplishment
for me and my demographic. I started getting fans from all over the place !
Since that interview Vega says he's been sending T shirts all over
the world as well as had songs played internationally which is
humbling and surreal. He credits his sound coming from many
influences such as 80's Rock Wrestling, And all things Pop Culture
.General Vega Is currently working on his second album as well as

It has been said in the music industry that “it’s not what you know, but who you know, that makes one successful.” Taylor “Cas Metah” Hogle may argue that who you know, has a great impact on what you know. A quick listen to the Ohio native’s music reveals his understanding that life is about relationships. A glance at his discography reveals just how well he understands it, and how well he puts it into practice. Cas Metah is a friend to all true hip-hop heads, and he thinks it’s about time you get acquainted.
Taylor Hogle fell in love with hip-hop as a teenager. Never one to shy away from commitment, Cas wrote raps for two years before ever touching a microphone! In 1997 he began recording homemade mixtapes and gaining a rep locally. Alongside 2-Tone, Ruffian, Shaw Bihland several other hungry talents, Cas formed Field Specialists. Metah quickly became the crews leader/in- house engineer, nicknaming his home studio the “Guest Room” due to the frequency of company and all night sessions. In 2002 Cas pressed up Key Tah Life, his first album of all original material. A chance meeting with JustMe in ‘03, led to a great friendship and the formation of Scribbling Idiots. Over the years the collective has discovered amazing talent worldwide and currently boasts the following “family” members: JustMe, Cas Metah, Theory Hazit, Elias, ReFlex the Architect, MP Ancient, Wonder Brown, Mouf Warren, MattmaN and Jaq.
From landing opening gigs with Joell Ortiz, Twista, The Pharcydeand Bizzy Bone just to name a few, to hitting up tour dates with vets like CunninLynguists, J-Live and Aceyalone, the list goes on and on as Cas continues to create a large buzz in hip-hop circles on and off stage.
Due in large part to Cas’ tireless work in the studio, he has released numerous albums, EP’s and/or single songs on his own, as well as with several established record labels, including: Plattertude Recordings (U.K.), Illect Recordings, End Of Earth Records, Dunsin’ Donuts (Japan), Soulspazm, and BBM (Baka Boyz Media)/Empire Distribution.
When it comes to collaborating with some of the best known (and unknown) artists in the game, Cas has worked with nearly everybody! Here’s just a highlight reel: Masta Ace, Kno, Witchdoctor, T-mo Goodie, 4th Disciple, LMNO, Deacon The Villain, Mars ILL, Copywrite, J. Rawls, Hell Razah, Shabazz The Disciple, Mista Sinista, Audible Doctor, Blueprint, J57, Craig G, D.V. Alias Khryst, Casual, Wordsworth, Yukmouth, Ras Kass, Ahmad & Ski Beatz! Wow!
Perhaps more impressive than any of the credits listed above, is the countless guest appearances, cameos, and side-projects Cas has piled up throughout the past two decades. Prolific doesn’t begin to explain this young man’s writing ability. Nor does it explain his magnetic personality and networking skills. Just Google the name “Cas Metah” and it will take you down a plethora of rabbit holes! And if you don’t know, now you know!
