Kim, A Miami native began making music a few years after his father Stephon, committed suicide in 2009. Growing up in the rough streets of Dade-County his mother chose to relocate the family to Orlando. It was there that he created and released his first project ‘The Polymath' which received much praise from the hip-hop community. This led to Kim opening for many other established artists. Kim followed this up with his debut EP 'Seeking Forever' gaining international recognition. Due to Kim's damagingly relentless rap style, which segues effortlessly into melodic cadences, Kim and his Better Forever approach to music has propelled him into the conversation of being one of rap futures best. With his willingness to bare soul, channeled through substance and truth, Kim's music is nothing short of being eerily addictive. 

Pat the Roc: Patrick Robinson, aka “Pat The Roc,” was born and raised in Prince Frederick, Maryland. At the young age of 5, he picked up a basketball and from that day on never put it down. After graduating from high school (Patuxent High School), he made a promise to himself that every time he stepped on the basketball court he would “outwork” his opponent. Pat spent every single one of his summer days at the park working on his game, from 6 am to 11 pm. He would take a break for lunch and come right back. With plans to attend college in the fall, Pat got an acceptance letter from the University of Cincinnati in July 2001. This was huge for Pat because at the time Cincinnati was one of the top 5 basketball programs in the nation.
