          MOC known as Mistake Of Color is an American Rapper who got started in the music industry through his brother Donnie Letterman. MOC had been writing for a little bit before his brother told him about a writing game called “16 Bars” that his brother would play with his friends. Once MOC played the game he was hooked and everything clicked. Once everything clicked he found success surpassing 100k streams on his song “Ricch Like Roddy” as well as performing on top of a ledge during a show in September last year. One of MOC's songs that has a deep meaning behind is called “Other Half”. This song was made to express that feeling of finding your soulmate or in the way MOC would put it your “Other Half”.

No-Uh is an American Rapper based in the Washington area. He started getting involved in the music industry when he was around 12 years old his cousin had an at-home studio setup. He recorded his first song there. No-Uh states that the song was horrible but fun because he felt pretty naturally decent at it so he just never stopped.

Cody Randall is an American singer who started loving music around 10. He knew he was a good writer and sang well enough to pursue music but he also knew his weaknesses. He needed a management team and some type of investment to really take his music to the top. Posting on social media really pushed Cody Randall in the door of the music industry because that’s how his management team found him off of a viral song he had created on TikTok. One of his top songs on Spotify is “Remedy” which has amassed over 3.3 million plays. I asked Cody Randall how it felt to have a song be played over a million plays and he said “It was definitely a change of pace because it happened so quickly” He was very happy that enjoyed the song that much. He likes to think about the amount of plays he gets as people in a room else the numbers would get lost in translation. He also remembers thinking “Wow… that would fill up a whole stadium”. The song “Remedy” was written during a FaceTime he was on w...
