Bubblin’ Under: M.J. DA Weatherman
Some cats get into the rap game for the cars, riches and clothes. But the wanna be ballers are soon exposed and quickly dispatched when their records flop. M.J. DA Weatherman, real name Michael Jackson, enters the game with his pockets already fat.
He’s not related to the famous Jacksons, but he has the women, cars and clothes, not to mention a fat portfolio, his own businesses, and investment property.
He’s a business man first and a rapper second. He also has an abundance of talent and charisma that has already garnered the attention of movers and shakers like Greg Street of V-103, DJ Khaled and Rick Ross, both of whom appeared on DA Weatherman’s mixtapes.
One of DA Weatherman’s tracks called “Hood On Fire” is so hot it slayed the competition on Greg Streets popular “Street Fights” segment all this week on V-103.

Hood On Fire
He’s known as DA weatherman because he brings it like the weatherman, rain, heat or snow. It wasn’t always C.R.E.A.M. for DA Weatherman who grew up homeless in the streets. From a young age, his motto was “What don’t kill you, makes you stronger!”
His famous name gave him the incentive to build a better life for himself and his family. Now he dreams of opening shelters and buildings for the homeless, and helping those who needs help. M.J. DA Weatherman has weathered the storm. “I am blessed and know that if God can bring me and my family from staying in empty houses and vans, then He can and will do it for anyone!,” says DA Weatherman.
His work ethic is impressive. He records and distributes his own mixtapes every week around the country on his Money Maker Records label.

Bubblin’ Under: London
From London’s bio:
LONDON
Among the many hopefuls who attempt to make it big in the music industry, only a chosen few obtain the goal. Even more elusive are those who exceed it. They’re the ones who have that elusive “it” quality – the ones whose genuine talent and ability to engage an audience and deliver a song with a matchless style sets them apart from the masses. The ones like London. Armed with years of preparation and an abundance of talent, this burgeoning singer-songwriter is destined to stand out in a sea of “next big names” in R&B music via his Universal/Motown debut, Man of My Word.
A native of Oakland, California, London’s talent for singing was initially discovered as a child. He sang in his church choir and he eventually joined them. As an adolescent London set his sites on a career in music but like many of his peers in the hip-hop generation, singing didn’t strike him as a particularly masculine hobby. Instead, he opted to make his professional foray into the industry as a rapper as a member of the eight-man crew Keep It Clean. The group had begun to see moderate success but sought to add an element that would give them that unique edge.

Bubblin’ Under: Up & Coming Artist – Trouble
Trouble is an independent, dirty south rapper representing Orlando, Florida (“don’t let them palm trees fool ya”) with a name that portrays his surrounding lifestyle. His strong delivery through his heartfelt lyrics comes from the hard times of living on the streets and other situations in his life which are expressed in one of his most respected songs, “Better Days” and the underground hit “Action (F*ck Kevin Beary)”. Some say Trouble’s flow reminds them of T.I.
Simon Gidewon, Street Market Entertainment
Trouble is the first artist on Simon Gidewon‘s Street Market Entertainment label based out of Atlanta. Street Market’s team of 3 producers produced the track “Better Days”, a smooth cut reminiscent of Kanye West‘s style of blending feel good music with gritty hardscrabble lyrics.
Street Market’s catalog of tracks consists of everything from R&B, reggae, jazz, classical and a new sound called dirty south bounce. Street Market is currently shopping for a major label deal and labels have already come calling.
