Ishqe (Mulakaat, Heer, Yaar)

"I have been away from Chicago for seven years in which I made sixteen short documentaries on social issues in Asia, worked in the Mumbai film industry as a Director for two years, became the Creative Head for a production house in Indonesia, and then decided that I missed my Mother and moved back to the suburbs of Illinois." (cited from Navraaz's bio on Vocalo.org) Navraaz originally debuted in the Chicago rap scene with the tag "Ishqe" representing her dynamic roots in Hip Hop and Punjabi folk genres. Today she is a key voice in the phenom Indo-Afro-Caribbean band from the windy city, Funkadesi. Navraaz has collaborated with many other talented artists, some of which include Chicago's very own rasta khalsa DJ Redlox, the renound guitar virtuoso Fareed Haque, and the production powerhouse Deep appearing in his global video debut hit "Tell Me What" .

Morgan has a versatile approach and a fresh perspective that sets him up to be a much sought after artist for collaboration, not to mention a coveted recording engineer.

Anacron (Janemun, Kahanee, Please don't stop, SoniKuri, Mitra)

Anacron is the living, breathing personification of the pseudo culture called Hip Hop. A true modern renaissance artist, he is the master of many forms of expression. He is an accomplished and professionally trained instrumentalist, a composer, a songwriter, a music producer, and a disc jockey. However, his talents expand beyond the audible ranges of artistic output; Anacron is also a graffiti artist, a visual artist, a graphic designer, a break-dancer, as well as an accomplished businessman. Musically, Anacron is best known for his casual and conversational yet in-depth lyrical delivery, and his amazingly crafted and ingenious instrumental production. Boasting a catalog of over 15 releases on his own independent PntGllryNtwrk label since 1995, and countless other projects and contributions to various labels and recording artists internationally, Anacron is the icing on the cake of any project. His presence adds an intense yet inviting feel to any musical endeavor, whether his role is vocal or musical. Born on the East coast, raised on the West coast, and having resided in the Midwest has had a grand effect on the development of Anacrons signature and recognizable styles of production and lyricism. From the original Peanut Gallery Network recordings to the West coast classic Netherworlds album, something about Anacron stands out; his participation and performance is always charismatic, thoughtful, and fitting. With a broad yet bluntly honest and clearly defined view of the world around him, he always leaves a lasting impression as a guest on any album. His amalgamation of live instrumentation and sampling, mainstream appeal and independent creativity makes for one of the most imitated and sought-after production styles in the industry. Outside of his collaborations with colleagues and friends in the hip-hop underground, Anacron also plays an active role in the musical expansion of singers of various genres, jazz groups, pop and rock bands, and even film and stage soundscapes. Appreciated and admired around the world on an independent platform, Anacron has spent a decade teetering on the edge of commercial success; ultimately, it is only a matter of time before he is rightfully recognized by all as the stellar talent that he is.
