Pac10 Bio
Parker & The NumberMan and members of Mag Flux decided to merge together to form a hip hop collective that shows the music world that Hip Hop does not have to be "dumbed-down" in order to appeal to the public. Once these indiviuals realized they were on similar wave lengths, they knew they could make a big splash with their flows when they rock the boat together as the PAC 10.
PAC 10's San Diego Music Award nominated debut release, "Franchise Players," features songs that combine content with beats that bounce. The first single, "Need It, Want It," is the epitome of this musical mix with its satrical lyrics over a pulsating rhythm. Painting vivid pictures with lyrics as their medium and beats by Feel The Reel as the canvas, this rap pak of emcees create masterpieces that reflect the triumphs and tribulations of anyone running in the human race. PAC 10 pushes, not only their music, but a MOVEMENT.

MYO Bio
I'm a writer. Period! I enjoy creatively stringing words together and touching the sensitivities of the world as I attempt to shed light on issues hidden behind the walls of ignorance. Hip-Hop is one outlet I use to reach that goal. As for my accomplishments, I have won a few poetry slams and Hip-Hop competitions throughout California and the Midwest (One in Michigan City Indiana at Simmer's for the Annual Poetry Slam and the other in San Diego at Voz Alta at Manual for Existence). For Hip-Hop I have won a competition at The Static Lounge (one week following my first public flogging in which I was booed off stage at the same event). I have performed at numerous events and places throughout the United States. Such as as UCSD, SDSU, SDCC,SWC, 4th & B, Canes, Brick By Brick, Static Lounge, Riley's, Simmer (in Indiana), the Spoken Word Cafe (in Chicago), The Martini Ranch, Ben's, Malcolm X Library and other spots. Currently I'm working on three mixtapes that are set for 09, a solo album, a screen play and my first novel. God willing this will be a successful year in 09 and thereafterÖ

Parker & The Numberman Bio
Friends for over a decade, rappers Parker Edison and 1019 have been recording music since the days of Butterfly clips and the Clinton administration. But even though the two began honing their skills and working on their chops in the late 90’s, for the most part, it was as solo artists both roughing through the music industry following completely separate paths.
It wasn’t until 2007, after a couple of Corona’s, sensing two heads were better than one that the drinking buddies decided to link up and collaborate. Following many nights spent out on the town and numerous days locked inside recording booths the team, now christened Parker & The Numberman, released their first official project. A shoot from the hip pull no punches, but do it with a smile, EP titled ‘The Talented Tenth’.
The name, a play on words, was taken from an old 1900’s social theory based on the writings of educator and race man W.E.B. Du Bois. Known for his keen insight he proclaimed college graduates would contribute to Negro advancement by grabbing the bull by the horns and leading the uneducated masses to the Promised Land. Du Bois dubbed the future leaders the “Talented Tenth”. Despite its heaviness the partners decided to adopt the moniker after creating a handful of socially relevant tracks aimed squarely at the average Joe.
Clocking in at 12 minutes and 13 seconds the five song extended player articulates a wide range of emotion. From the sober minor key narrative of ‘Track Four’ to the lighthearted cross cultural bounce of Miss Ann. Short and to the point only ‘Track Four’ exceeds the 3 minute mark, if only by a hair, ticking in at a whopping 3 minutes and 12 seconds. “That wasn’t by design” explains The Numberman, “It just happened that way. Once you’ve said what’s on your mind that’s it. You’re done.” While the two admit a title like the ‘Talented Tenth’ might come off a bit heady or square they swear the music never will. “We aren’t fun crushing guys”, assures Parker. “We can party with the best of ‘em. And when we perform live it’s not on some Farrakhan shit. I’m standing on stage and I’m grabbing my nuts. I mean, we’re all about having a good time. We’re two live guys with glasses ya’ dig.” On average the duo plays two shows a month “Kickin’ up dust ‘til our legs get tired”, says The Numberman “We think you gotta do it the tried and true way. One show one fan at a time. Plus performing live is just fun. A room full of people grooving with you… can’t beat that!”

A.M.
Wake up in the morning. Brush your teeth. Put on the freshest gear you can find. Walk with your head up like you've just had an overdose of swag juice and then look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If you don't see A.M then you need to add glasses to your outfit.
These artists are bringing fly and sexy to Hip-Hop and not at the expense of lyrical content. With Remixes to Drive Slow, La La, Black Mags and Mr. Me Too, A.M definitely sets the bar high taking the remix game to new heights. And right when you think being fly is all these guys know how to do, they hit you with songs like, "Windows" and "Dreams" further solidifying their Hip-Hop legitimacy. Make no mistakes about it. A.M is not only what Hip-Hop is, but what Hip-Hop is becoming.
