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.

Ida Divine

Ida Divine could easily be claimed as one of the players to bring Neo Soul back.  Her infectious and insightful tune "Grow Up" has all the makings of a classic.  There's a lesson, a beat to bob your head to and a beautiful voice to learn from. 
She got her stage name from one of the First Ladies of the Las Vegas mafia, who was seen as a symbol of power, strength and courage.  Staten Island, NY born and bred, the Hip Hop culture was a huge influence for her music. 
Growing up, Ida was very shy.  However, all that changed when she went on a cruise and sang karaoke.  She received such a warm response that she was no longer shy and she decided to pursue her music career full force.
