MY NAME IS C-FOUR FOR MY EXPLOSIVE RAP STYLE AND PERSONALITY. I TRY TO SWITCH FLOWS AND STYLES ON EVERY TRACK. AND TO BRING THE FANS SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. IM NOT TRYING TO GET INTO THE GAME AS A BATTLE RAPPER. BECAUSE I HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR OTHER ARTISTS WHO SURVIVE OFF THIS GAME. THERE ARE ALOT OF UPS AND DOWNS. AND DEFINITELY ALOT OF TRAP OFFS, OBSTACLES TO GET AROUND. IM JUST TRYING TO BRING SOME LOVE AND UNITY BACK TO THE GAME. THERES MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY OUT THERE FOR US ALL. WHY CANT WE GET IT TOGETHER. ITS NOT LIKE ITS RUNNING OUT OF STYLE. BECAUSE THEY BURN AND PRINT MONEY EVERY DAY. SO IS IT REALLY WORTH THROWING OUR LIVES AWAY. C-FOUR

RELENTLESS AMBITION

KO BANE

If you would've asked me when i was in school, where I'd picture myself 10 years later. I would've said I 'd be a lawyer, or a businessman or dead. Who would've ever forseen this fastpaced rise in the direction of the music industry apart of the Ceritified Husta's Ent conglamerate, nobody really, not even myself. But if you look at my past, its all just really starting to come full circle. The only child of young 17 year old girl who never settled, so we were always moving. So even though my numbers of friends in different areas grew I still retained my own personal swag, because i never stayed long enough to learn those hoodz ways but I always learned the game. A grandson of a literal millionaire B Grand, who alone owned over five busniesses along East93rd, from buckeye down to woodland at the bottom of Morris Blackfrom from 1979 to 1988. I got knowledge and game that these other youngs G'z just dont have. Alot of people are turned on to street-thug and gangsta life but see I was born and raised into it. My uncles Tiiny and Mann the crayton twins are Oringinal St. Clair gangstas. My uncle Lamont was a Oringal Chevy Boy and Goldengloves boxer that trained down on 40 n Quincy at P.O.C.. My uncle Zo is a Original Banbury Gangsta, My other grandfather is owner and president of the renegades motorcycle club. I've lived in 4 different states by the age of 23 by myself. Real people I come across can sense my ambition and as i begin to converse with you, you'll bear witness to a true leader and motivater..somebody that refuses to follow no matter how much harder it makes my dream a possiblility. People respect my ambition and courage to create my own lane and my true emotion and lessons learned i willingly share. So whenever you meet me or hear me, I make it point for you to understand... my Relentless Ambition..Ko.Bane..Its Official..

IF THE WORLD WAS SAL

CROSS

CROSS isn’t ashamed to be half-retarded; matter fact he brags about his disability to the world!!! He wants everyone to know about it, this is just one of the funny things this rapper does to pull you in with his personality, he’s hands down the funniest guy alive. Serving a 1 year sentence for a gun and drug charge he started writing raps just to past time, to speed up his sentence. When he came home he wanted to see what they would sound like on a beat. “I wasn’t lookin’ for no record deal, I just wanted to see what it was like to rap in the booth and make a song”. “I took a song to the club, the DJ played it, after that it was women, men, even the bouncers was chasing me around the club!!“ His friends and family heard the music that CROSS had came up with, and told him that he should keep it up and that it was jamming. He didn’t listen to the advice, he said that it was just for fun, that when he went in the booth and put the headphones on that it was really all fun, and something to do when he had no drugs to sale. “I was parked in my car playing a song I had just finished when some dude asked what I was listening to, and that he would pay $10 for that one song, so u know I sold it to his ass, that’s when I started to get serious with the rapping”. CROSS then started doing song after song and made his first mixtape titled “No Soda” which sold an unaccountable amount because Cross didn’t keep track of sales, “I was just getting em’ made and getting em’ sold, I didn’t care how many I sold, long as every mixtape I had in my trunk was gone come time to go home to my dipset(girlfriend!!)” CROSS thought of Garnett Entertainment to go to the next level, he had seen and respected the way they do business, they were the best thing happening near the Cincinnati area and also how they exposed their artists to the world, CROSS wanted that exposure, so he reached out to them. Then they did their homework and found out that Cross indeed had what it took to be the artist to put Cincinnati on the map and to break down the doors that the industry put up in hopes for someone to really come with what it takes to be a worldwide artist from Cincinnati. Since signing with Garnett Entertainment, CROSS has garnished an endorsement deal with the fine champagne cognac drink Remy Martin, Cross recorded his first single titled “Sal Sal” was the ..1 song for several weeks on 101.1 WIZF FM(formerly 100.9) the top countdown of the countries latest hits, “Sal Sal” which is a dance that he created himself while recording in the studio with Bigg D, you heard his work on (Unpredictable, Jamie Foxx,),(Grind Wit Me, Pretty Ricky), and much more. “Sal Sal” went way up the charts, receiving 200+ spins per week nationwide. He is currently working on his follow-up single entitled “U Know I’m Thang”, Garnett Entertainment intends on introducing CROSS to the rest of the world that hasn’t heard him yet, by smashing on a nationwide radio campaign coming up in the very near future. Cross has by far the biggest buzz locally that any other artist before him has ever been able to acquire, everyone is impatiently waiting on Cross to put the city of Cincinnati on the map. Watch , listen, and witness Cincinnati’s next big thing CROSS..
