New Jersey’s 050 Boyz release their new album “Everything 050” on 4th August.

Despite this being their debut album as a group, the trio are no novices to the world of hip hop. Prince AK began as hype man for Flavor Unit’s Supreme C before an acting course with Tracey Moore (50 Cent, Busta Rhymes & Eve) saw him swap the mic for tv and film roles for a number of years.

Riq da Kid and Tru Trilla and their respective groups at the time joined Garden State Greats in 2004, a collaborative movement formed by Treach (Naughty by Nature) and Fam (Rottin Razkals) to help unify and promote artists in New Jersey. Now operating as solo artists, the original 5 members came together again in 2012 to rekindle the spirit of GSG and formed 050 Boyz.

With the support of DoItAll (Lords of the Underground), they released the mixtape “050 Dat” in 2013 before evolving into the current line up and recording the new album which has been produced entirely by long standing associate Clinton Place (Kurupt, Yukmouth, Gillahouse)

From the album is the new single “Pay Them No Mind” featuring DoItAll and NJ vet Tha Advocate

It’s been a phenomenal first few months of 2015 for producer turned rapper Ande Bishop

Having received a massive response to his “50 Centences” debut track featured in The Source in January, (view HERE), and the subsequent “$77.43” tearing up the internet and receiving widespread radio support, the latest Seven13 Entertainment signing has just completed the recording of his new EP “Ocean$ – Extended Play” and has announced the release date as 19th May 2015

The latest product from the prolific American Roulette camp, Ande also produced stablemate Londn Blue’s EP “False Hope” and has just released his first official video and single “MoneyOrFriendz”. The beat is courtesy of Taylor $upreme who has production credits with Freddie Gibbs, E-40, Yukmouth, Trae tha Truth and many more

Check out the stream of the self produced bonus cut “$77.43” leaked earlier this year

The latest emerging name in the new wave of Southern Rap artists, Ande Bishop’s approach is diverse thanks to his varying influences over the years including Tupac, Blu & Exile, Lil Wayne, Erykah Badu and T.I. A recent newcomer to the production game, he started experimenting with beats by mashing classic r&b and soul samples with Southern kicks before swapping the desk for the mic.
