"That's RDX. I djed for them"<br />
There is so much that can be<br />
said about my entertainment<br />
group, “Xtreme Soundz.” When I<br />
created this group my sophomore<br />
year in highschool, I knew<br />
there was gonna be a much<br />
larger purpose for us. I hand<br />
picked all the members in the<br />
group in 2011 because we<br />
each hold an individual asset<br />
that makes us outshine together<br />
as a group. For those that know<br />
how we started and the trials we<br />
went through to get here today<br />
, they can definitely vouche on<br />
the behalf of the hard work and<br />
persistence of my group. Making<br />
Xtreme till this day is one of the<br />

best decisions I’ve ever made in<br />
my life. When people look at us<br />
they see just two DJs (Disc Jockeys)<br />
and often underestimated<br />
our Champion group. Before my<br />
partner DJ Tim and I even started<br />
DJing, we started off as a<br />
Band and are still one today.<br />
We all attended Boston Arts<br />
Academy during high school<br />
where we discovered each other<br />
and the passion we have for<br />
our craft. Our band consists of<br />
a amazingly gifted keyboard<br />
player named RJ, a hit-making<br />
artist/vocalist named Siah, a well<br />
crafted rapper named Phenom<br />
V, a killing bass player named<br />
Javon Clark, and three drummers,<br />
DBlaze, DJ Tim & myself. We also<br />
have two other members that<br />
put in a lot of work in our family,<br />
Yabasha & Delta. Together we<br />
form a pristine champion group<br />
that doesn’t tolerate mediocre<br />
work & effort. We are very musically<br />
driven and we express ourselves<br />
everytime we play.<br />
The path that led us to become<br />
Disc Jockeys was something no<br />
one in our group saw coming.<br />
At the end of 2014, rapidly approaching<br />
2015, Xtreme Soundz<br />
art of music is built in to you. We<br />
make sure we stick to our musical<br />
fundamentals. I can remember<br />
countless times where we’ll be<br />
practicing as a group and even<br />
if one of us made the slightest<br />
error, we made that person redo<br />
it and didn’t advance to the<br />
next phase until he completed<br />
the transition perfectly according<br />
to our fundamentals.<br />
This wasn’t to knock anyone in<br />
our family but to strengthen it<br />
and become the group we are<br />
now. We bring a unique side<br />
to music industry in this present<br />
world and everyday I notice<br />
the respect for our group<br />
grows more and more. I do a lot<br />
to keep my group together and<br />
picked up the art of blending<br />
music and fell in love with it quick<br />
too. I often express DJ by telling<br />
your own story how ever you<br />
want it to be heard. That’s all it<br />
is. Displaying the sweet love and<br />
connection there is between<br />
your brain, creativity, hands<br />
& turntables. Truly a beautiful<br />
thing. The key thing that makes<br />
us very unique is that we live<br />
with fundamentals. The musical<br />
fundamental training we all got<br />
in highschool with keys and timing,<br />
especially as a drummer, the<br />
working because I know we all<br />
have something amazing in us<br />
and it wasn’t by chance that I<br />
put us all in the same group for<br />
ongoing 7 years. Although DJing<br />
is our newest talent and only<br />
been going strong for 2 years,<br />
we make sure we aren’t judged<br />
on the years of experience but<br />
on the true talent of turntablism<br />
and blending. From my partner<br />
DJ Tim & I performing at parties<br />
with individuals ipads in our<br />
hands to full blown setups now<br />
with multiple speakers, we will<br />
always be that same persistent<br />
champion group that God has<br />
a plan for. We want to thank all<br />
of our supporters that has been<br />
with us from day one and I promise<br />
you won’t be let down.

"keep ya<br />
head high,<br />
hold ya<br />
head"

Mark Edmond was born in Stoughton,<br />
MA, but raised in Sunrise, FL. Introduced<br />
to music at an early age,<br />
he wrote his first rap around the age<br />
of 8, or 9, which at the time was just a<br />
hobby. Initially, his dream was to play<br />
in the NBA. At 10, he was in a group<br />
with his two older brothers, cousin,<br />
and one of his cousin’s friends called<br />
“Tha Finest”, where they would record<br />
their music on a cassette tape player.<br />
That only lasted through the summer,<br />
but Mark kept writing on his own.<br />
He started taking things more seriously<br />
around the time when he got<br />
into high school, after losing his love<br />
for playing basketball. At that point<br />
is when he turned to music fully, started<br />
perfecting his craft, and saw it as<br />
a potential career for himself. Since<br />
then, he’s released a series of singles<br />
MARK EDMOND<br />
throughout the years. Still, looking for<br />
his big-break.<br />
Q: Who are some of your musical inspirations/<br />
or influences?<br />
A: I have so many, I could go on<br />
and on for hours naming names, but<br />
to name a few, I would have to say<br />
2Pac, Michael Jackson, and Jon Bon<br />
Jovi are on the top of that list. Those<br />
are like my heroes. Then, you have Ludacris,<br />
that was the first rapper that<br />
I could say was my favorite growing<br />
up. I love 90s, early 2000s Hip-Hop,<br />
R&B/Soul, so I found, and still find a<br />
lot of inspiration from a bunch of artist<br />
from those eras. As for today’s era,<br />
J. Cole is inspirational. All in all, I listen<br />
to all types of music, so my inspirations<br />
and influences come from all<br />
over the place. I’ve been into music<br />
for as long as I can remember. That’s<br />
my ruling passion, for sure.<br />
Q: What was the first album you ever<br />
owned?<br />
A: “WWF The Music, Vol. 3”. I remember<br />
getting it for Christmas in 1998 I<br />
believe. We were huge wrestling fans<br />
back in the days. We had the the<br />
heavyweight championship belt and<br />
all.<br />
Q: What are your thoughts on today’s<br />
music?<br />
A: I’m a fan of some, not a fan of others.<br />
I think there’s a time and place<br />
for everything, but there needs to<br />
be more of a balance on the mainstream<br />
level. It’s hardly about talent<br />
anymore, more so about image and<br />
popularity, so everybody thinks they<br />
have what it takes. Most of them start<br />
by following whatever is trending at<br />
the moment, now you have all these<br />
people trying to make some-what of<br />
the same song over and over again<br />
to “turn up” to, but what about real<br />
life? Not saying we don’t need those<br />
kind of songs too, because that’s<br />
what I’d prefer to hear when I’m in<br />
those environments, but the club or<br />
whatever function is only a few hours<br />
out the day. That’s why a lot times<br />
people make reference to “back in<br />
the days”, because most of the artist<br />
who were in the forefront had real<br />
talent, took their craft serious, and<br />
were making music with actual substance<br />
that you coulVd actually feel,<br />
which is why much of it is still relevant<br />
today. Music is what helps a lot of<br />
us get through whatever we’re going<br />
through in our lives, but often times<br />
now, a lot of that shit slips through<br />
the cracks. Good thing we’re in a<br />
time where you can listen to whatever<br />
you want, whenever you want,<br />
but you have to really look for it, because<br />
the market’s also over-saturated.<br />
I try to give everybody a chance<br />
once I get around to it, but I’m only<br />
going to continue to listen to what I<br />
like, so in my world, all’s well.<br />
Q: There’s thousands of rappers being<br />
born everyday, what would you<br />
say sets you apart from the rest?<br />
A: The fact that I’m being my true<br />
self! Me being me makes me unique.<br />
I’m not trying to be the next, or new<br />
nobody, except for the first Mark Edmond.<br />
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5-10<br />
years?<br />
A: By then, I would hope to have<br />
found my niche. Prospering. A successful<br />
business owner. Doing what I<br />
love for a living. Traveling the world<br />
off the strength of my music. Making a<br />
positive impact on the lives of others.<br />
Overall, I just want to be truly happy.<br />
God willing. Oh yeah, mentioned with<br />
the greats. I want to at least be in<br />
the conversation!

RIINGZ<br />
M y name is Ronin Ingwersen<br />
better known as Riingz from<br />
Boston Mass. I originally<br />
grew up in Woodstock, New<br />
York but have a variety of<br />
family in Brazil. I'm a music<br />
producer and DJ performing<br />
along the East Coast from<br />
New York to Florida but<br />
mainly based in the Bay State<br />
Area. When I first started<br />
growing up I was into a variety<br />
of music going from EDM to<br />
Classical then to Rap but as<br />
time carried on to 7th grade,<br />
everything started going<br />
downhill with daily life like<br />
friends, fighting with family<br />
on a daily basis, and failing<br />
many classes which kept<br />
me really unmotivated to<br />
keep music going but then one<br />
day a friend of mine came to<br />
me asking if I would be down<br />
to DJ at an event of his for<br />
a promotional show so I decided<br />
to take the offer and<br />
before I knew it I was out on<br />
a grind with many email coming<br />
in about needing a DJ for<br />
parties, social events and<br />
even the occasional opening<br />
for many mainstream<br />
rappers which completely<br />
turned everything around<br />
and the music scene was on a<br />
roll. When people came to me<br />
asking what I did for a living<br />
my first answer was DJ and<br />
that's it until a good friend<br />
of mine that I met in High<br />
School known as KIDQ asked<br />
me if I was into making rap<br />
instrumentals and tracks<br />
but partially brushed it off<br />
for days on end until I made<br />
this one track #LavishLife<br />
which came out as my first<br />
mainstream instrumental<br />
that pretty much brought<br />
me into the life of being full<br />
time DJ and Music Producer.<br />
Since that day connections<br />
have been created and<br />
many shows have continued<br />
to build up which from what<br />
I can tell you, brought me<br />
right out of the mud and into<br />
a daily life that is full of<br />
creativity and excitement.<br />
When I got older, I took my<br />
first trip to visit my mom<br />
that had lived in Dubai, UAE<br />
where I had my first show
14 15<br />
I am doing shows from Cambridge<br />
my physical and mental ability<br />
to Manhattan with a couple of<br />
as a whole greatly but in the end<br />
upcoming shows down the coast<br />
has made me a better person than<br />
around March which will soon<br />
I could have imagined. I would really<br />
like to give a shoutout to ev-<br />
hopefully transform to all the<br />
states and get abroad as much as<br />
eryone that has helped me through<br />
possible. I am now part of a production<br />
company that goes by 781<br />
am today but the person that I<br />
thick and thin to get me where I<br />
Productions which was created by<br />
should really be recognizing is my<br />
my first artist KIDQ and photographer<br />
Georgie in which has been<br />
put in to give me the education and<br />
mom for all the hard work she's<br />
known on many social media websites.<br />
Starting out this job was<br />
place that I'm at now and I real-<br />
funding that I needed to get to the<br />
not easy, building and breaking<br />
ly appreciate all that she's done<br />
bridges have started and stopped<br />
because without her I wouldn't<br />
many different controversies in<br />
be here at this very moment. And<br />
my experience. the music industry<br />
trust me I will maintain my place<br />
has impacted<br />
to represent the city of Boston,<br />

mizzie cash<br />
I'm from Boston. I started doing music around 7-8 years<br />
old . I always had a passion for the culture. before I even<br />
knew what rappers were even saying, I loved the culture<br />
FOR WHAT it WAS. Growing up I liked 50 cent & dipset, then<br />
I got older and did my research on Tupac , Max b , & Gucci<br />
mane WHO soon became my favorite rapper. I always knew<br />
I wanted to do music no matter what phase I went through<br />
in life.<br />
Everywhere I went people told me I'm ahead of my time, So<br />
that always gave me the idea that i could be somebody .<br />
Around September 2015 I Formed a group called self made<br />
& we had a studio. at my sisters house and everyday we<br />
smoked weed and went to work in the studio even though<br />
it was low quality, we made good music. I ended up making<br />
a good song a lot of people liked called Guccivelli i n<br />
the same room . It has over 37,000 views on SoundCloud<br />
now. That really gave me a lil local push . It made me feel<br />
like aight I got a lil wave going . I Just Kept Going And Doing<br />
What I Really Like Doing & Making Music .Now I have my<br />
mixtape Called C.A.S.H coming next Probably Around February<br />
- March. Next Mixtape Is Mizziechusetts Ep Then<br />
