Mario aka Mr Magneto, born 11/08/81 in France, Paris. He started rapping when he was 16. He is influenced by a famous French rapper called Passy, who is originally from my parents home country in Africa, Congo. Then left France to travel throughout Europe when he was 19 and came to London in 2000 to work with a few signed artists and then moved to Plymouth in 2004, where he met up with Jibi the Kid and Reb 66 to create the alliance. He can also rap fluently in French and Engueria.

Reb 66, aka Rebellous Maximus. Born 6/12/83. He started rapping in 1996 and this is when he became interested in this. He has lived in Plymouth for all of his life. His influenes are The Beastie Boys, Jim Morris, Pink Floyd, Sage Francis and Cage. He started off making music to help him with problems and he realised that people can relate to music as it relates to their own problems too. In a way he feels it is a form of councilling and helps people find the root of their problems and the music is the link to overcome them. He thinks his music is something to listen and think to in a political manner as opposed to any stereotypical track. He is also currently selling albums in HMV.

DJ Madskills is aged 21 and is very well known in Plymouth for his work as a DJ in the Voodoo Lounge and has also done numerous gigs for Deathjam. He produces music as well as mixing it and has made tunes that we are currently using for our record label. He covers a range of music ranging from Hip-Hop through to R & B. He is currently working in a headstreet team for Song BMG Records. His influences are from a wide collection of well known DJ's of which of whom he has worked with.

Calligraphy is also aged 21. Calligraphy has been writing and rapping for three years and is Multi-talented. He is able to play instruments of a wide range. He and Reb have grown-up together and therefore their style is similar in ways. He and Reb came together and called themselves The Bundy Emacees. His influences are also from a collection of well known DJ's such as the Beastie Boys and Jack Johnson.
