Born to a young single mother by the name of Barbara Lynn Cason she would later insure that Carlos would have the very best life, and all that she could provide. In doing so, this train of thought would give her the drive to join our nation’s armed forces. This gave her the means and opportunities to overcome the low income and poverty stricken neighborhoods in Charlotte. While in the care of his Grandmother, Jenny B. McNeil, this would be the platform for Cardiair’s introduction to music. After speaking with Cardiair he recalls listening to such legendary artist as Sam Cooke, Little Richard, James brown, and Mahailia Jackson to name a few. Jenny McNeil a prominent member of Shiloh Baptist Church would also be the catalyst to influence an on going relationship with Jesus Christ.

Along the way being inspired by many other cultures, styles and facets of music… one genre stood out more than the others.

Since then Cardiar has established himself as a talented writer and producer of Hip Hop music. To quote Carlos “Cardiair Geezus” Cason “If you see or hear goodness from me it is not I but the creator of Heaven and Earth, the architect of the universe. If you see weakness or short comings those things are in me, And for that I as for your forgiveness and understanding because God is not done with me yet.

El'Ja - Spoken Word Poetry Hip-Hop Neo-Soul Artist
LeJuane Bowens was born on July 30, 1981 in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Lima, Ohio in 1986 where he went to school.Thinking that he didn't have a chance to get into college, he joined the U.S. Army. Throughout the six years of being in the service, and being deployed to Iraq on two different occasions, he started to put his thoughts on paper. Once starting out only doing poems of love and loneliness, he started to understand that there is more to life than just two emotions and began to write about almost everything he felt covered the very aspect of life itself in his eyes. But it was in the year of 2005 when a friend and fellow poet/writer, Keith A. Anderson, asked him to take his writing more seriously and try to show the world what he has to say. After deciding to take the advice, LeJuane put a few of his poems on the Internet via poetry sites and the feedback that came back from the people that read each one was more than enough to let him know that this may be his calling. Through poetry, he feels that he can pull people into his world by branching out to them by explaining what he feels are pieces of human nature and will put together what we all call life. The only thing he wants to achieve is the same thing that everyone wants when they have something on their mind. And that is to only be heard.
An accomplished author ("So Many Things To Say: A Collection of Poems"), performer, poet, writer, Internet radio show host of Urban Soul Cafe, CEO of So Many Words Ent.,and A&R of iRep Online Magazine (2007-2008), there is no telling to what doors that this man will not come across or avenue he will not write about. He also has performed in numerous slams across North Carolina, performed alongside poets such as Andrew Tyree Clinkscale, Black Ice,13th of Nazareth,Georgia Me and Shihan. He also participated in the 2009 Women's Empowerment Expo Talent Search and is the winner of the 2009 2nd Annual McDonald's Food For Thought Poetry Slam Tour.He also is a songwriter with Real Life Muzic,an indie record label based out of Fayetteville,NC.His musical influences range from Isley Brothers,Teddy Pendergrass,Luther Vandross to today's artists like Musiq Soulchild,Dwele,and Anthony Hamilton,and Foreign Exchange.When it's all said and done,El'Ja is just wanting to accomplish one goal,and that is to speak life and live life correctly.

Yogii With 2 I's - Poet/Author/Photographer/Graphic Designer
Hello, My name is Yolanda A. but Yogii, is what they call me. Please spell it with 2 "I's" Why? because I'm speaking the truth past the lies, blessed to turn "ink" into "inspiration" and "ignorance" into 'intellagence". How did I get this way? Well, growing from an Army Brat to now a woman that, is well rounded, I've had a fire sparked in me that led to my own business Flame Productions, which is the HoTTesT design house in Photography, Graphic Design, and Poetry. Now, I'm introducing my first book and spoken word cd of poetry called: "Y" aren't you listening?
The book is filled with poems that will make you think, and offers a small journal in the back of the book, so that you can write your inner most thoughts. The cd (that comes with the book) is a perfect blend of beats, sound effects, and poetry that brings every word alive for the listener. "Y" aren't you listening? has been a work in progress since, and since I started writing at 13 (started with raps) and now at 33, I'm here, and I'm hope you are ready to listen to poetry done in a different way.
These are a few of the titles in the book:
The Jazz of Me
In His Glory
Pretty Panties
In His Shirt
F*ck Fantasy
Melodic Melodies
and many more...
The book was a true labor of love, you can check it out at
www.lulu.com/ygab. I was blessed to have my foreword written by Malachi (cdbaby.com/cd/malachisounds) he is truly my inspiration in this, he got me fired up about making the cd to accompany my book. I've worked with the best producers at Real Life Muzic (www.reallifemuzic.com) and we have bought to life each poem... Cardiair Geezus, Cone and Denniz have helped me to hone my skills on the mic. I have to also thank Ms. LaToya Renee for being the very first person to get me in the studio...and making it a great experience. Thanks to DoBe for always leaving the light on in the studio for me...for whenever I'm ready. Also Ms. Glover & Mr. Matthews for there sage advise on "Life in the Studio" I hope that if nothing else you will LISTEN to what I have to say. I truly hope you enjoy what you hear, and give me honest feed back. yogii

Mr.Hoo - Hip-Hop Artist
In the words of Mr. Hoo,"The message is timeless.I SACRAFICE PRODUTION 4 THE ART OF THE WORD, ITS TYME TO GATHER THE HERD THAT RECOGNIZE WUT THEY HEARD." THIS AINT JUS TO DANCE TO ,WE LIVE THROUGH IT.watch ya self n see us both. MRhOO OF THE WATARU GUYJEEN(traveling outsiders) The real Self is not the body or even the mind of man. These things are but a part of his personality, the lesser self. The real Self is the Ego, whose manifestation is in individuality. The real Self is independent of the body, which it inhabits, and is even independent of the mechanism of the mind, which it uses as an instrument. The real Self is a drop from the Divine Ocean, and is eternal and indestructible. It cannot die or be annihilated, and no matter what becomes of the body, the real Self still exists. It is the Soul. Do not think of your Soul as a thing apart from you, for YOU are the Soul, and the body is the unreal and transitory part of you which is changing in material every day, and which you will some day discard.

F.K. of MI:3 - Hip-Hop Artist
Alot of people ask me about what do the initials F.K. stand for...it stands for F'Knell.Getting into my music...I"m not your typical rapper or person for that matter. By that I mean I actually go deeper into my music and lyrical content than most would even dare to go. My music consists of rather than just a couple of songs thrown onto a cd together to call it a project I actually take my time and give you a hundred percent of my thoughts. So basically with me it's more than words...you are getting true emotions, excellent lyricism, cocky sarcasm, and just an everyday down to earth black male giving you his own views and opinions on a variety of topics. Real Life is Stranger Than Fiction "will" be an album that most should cop especially if you are looking for something way more than something to dance to in the clubs. I call it Real Life is Stranger than Fiction because I dont force myself to go outside of the box, but I realized that I am outside of the "box" because my attitude and my actions set me apart from most in a unique way. I offer you way more than just another manufactured artist claiming that he is a hustler, gangbanger, and a self-proclaimed murderer...I'm doing me being me...real talk and no lies...I'm not going to give you raps about rims and the ice on my watch and how many women I've served up. Basically Real Life is Stranger Than Fiction is about "musically" showing many people that there is something else to look forward to and that Hip Hop is not dead, but on a social level its showing a young black male overcoming all of these negative stereotypes and showing that real people dont sacrafice their integrity
