7/27

7/27 is a Hip Hop/ R&B duo representing Nashville, NC.  They fuse a healthy blend of Neo Soul and real Hip Hop, which is such a rarity these days. 

Young Nell (rapper), lists some of his influences as Big L, Cassidy and Nas.  These influences can be heard throughout his verses.  He's what the game has been missing for a while.  He gets much respect from me for that.  As for Kiarya B. (singer), she has an eclectic voice, that is able to adapt to any melody.  She lists her influences as Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill and SWV, all very powerful voices.

Their current single "Disconnect", a track off of their promo LP entitled "Road to Success", was played on the Independent Spotlight on local radio station Foxy 99 and voted #1 requested song.

When I came across Chrissy's music, I was amazed.  She has such an amazing voice and personality.  This girl is definitely going places!

A native of San Diego, CA, this 5’ 11” beauty may look like your typical girly girl, but she is far from that. Instead of playing outside with friends, she preferred to stay in and listen to music, sing and play her little brother’s xylophone.

With vocals very reminiscent of her influences Lauryn Hill (whose acoustic set she saw performed live is credited for inspiring her to buy and learn how to play the guitar), Amel Larriuex, Brandy and Stone Temple Pilots, she has gotten to perform at some amazing places. From Hard Rock Café to The Viper Room, Third Street Promenade to Room 5 and several colleges including Texas A&M, UTSA, Arkansas Tech, Slippery Rock University, Missouri S&T, University of California Irvine, and Cal State East Bay, there is no stopping this chick!

EP was released. The five- song sampler includes stripped versions of songs that are on her upcoming full length album “Somewhere Sweeter” under the pseudonym The Honey Escape.
