ABOUT JALLEN RANSUM: Jallen Ran$um is a twenty six year old Peoria Illinois bred up and coming rap/hip-hop artist and producer. He has been in the rap game since 2000 when he was a member of the locally known trio "Natrils." With this group he released his first two albums, "Shootin 4 Dollars" and "From tha P to tha Pros." In 2003 Jallen Ran$um separated from this group due to creative differences to pursue his career as a solo artist. Since then he has continued to write, record and produce his own music which he started producing in the basement of his Peoria home in 2000. His tracks are mainly inspired by the music of the 60's, 70's and early 80's which includes an elaborate collection of wax records. Today Jallen is a solo artist making major moves with the success of his first single, "Money Dance" off of the "Street Turbulence" album.

ABOUT DJ XKLUSIVE: Born on the West side of Chicago, Dj Xklusive found he was very active and athletically involved. He excelled in sports but still found he clutched to nothing like he did to music. He spent his spare time searching for the latest songs or mimicking the latest dance moves. He soon found that no passion was stronger, and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't ignore the fire he felt ignited by music. In 2004, after Djing his first college party the puzzle was finally pieced together for Xklusive. The energy and unexplainable surge of euphoria from Djing that party brought his life's purpose to the forefront. Since then he has done shows throughout the Midwest, quickly becoming one of the most highly pursued djs for college parties and events. He is nicknamed "The Best Kept Secret" because if he's not Djing, you probably won't see him.
