"dislike for mediocrity is what makes him superior to other MC’s"
If talent was converted into currency, J.C.I.T.Y would be Bill Gates bank account. Referring to J.C.I.T.Y as a rapper is most certainly an understatement. He is a "well rounded MC" born into a class of his own. His style cannot be confined into one category. J.C.I.T.Y’s latest albums “From the Bottom to the Top”, “Back to the Future”, & “Sky Writing” are tangible proof of such. Between the albums J.C.I.T.Y provides 56 tracks of quality music which is very versatile and consistent. It is rare you come across an artist like J.C.I.T.Y who possesses what many like to call, the “No skip” factor. J.C.I.T.Y is known for his ill lyrics, witty punch-lines, great song making ability and honesty. Aside from having the pleasure to listen to good music you also get to know him personally through his songs. He writes songs about topics touching on his life, what goes on in the hood, current events, relationships etc. At the same time he can easily turn around and write a hit song for the clubs or just lyrically annihilate any opposing rapper just for the fun of it.

Unlike many others, the pure passion for Hip Hop and the talent for making quality music is what forced the evolution from Jason Simon to J.C.I.T.Y. He simply has a niche for knowing what the people want to hear, and he is able to deliver without compromising who he is. A combination of that and his dislike for mediocrity is what makes him superior to other MC’s. J.C.I.T.Y has been through many different situations from being shot, to attaining a college degree. His many experiences from both sides of the track allow his songs to have various subject matter. J.C.I.T.Y has seen and experienced life in several cities, but proudly represents the streets of Boston, MA where he was born and raised. Many people proclaim J.C.I.T.Y to be “Boston’s Hip Hop King”, though he would be proud to wear the crown, this nowhere near satisfies him. He plans and is in the process of displaying his undeniable talent to the World. He is arguably Hip Hop’s #nextinshow

Many people claim to have talent, but very few are considered talented. when it comes to 26-year- old Boston native Rated, being talented comes naturally. At the age of 5, Rated performed at his kindergarten graduation, leaving both family and friends surprised by his ability and willingness to perform so freely. His style consists of creative metaphors and realistic music that relates to the struggles/situations that we face in our society today. Over the years his passion for music started to grow. In 2005, Rated alongside his cousin Dyzasta formed the group StuntCity. Music has always been in the earlobes of these men, and realized that they could also make music that people will feel and relate to. Rated can recall performing "stunts" on tracks from his childhood days. "I would be around older emcees rapping, and I would let them know I could do it too. Jackie Chan performs stunts by himself. A stunt is defined as an unusual strength, skill, or talent and that’s exactly what we're bringing to our city.” With performances at colleges and venues throughout the #eastcoast including opening up shows for Bone Thugs N Harmony, Cam’ron, Joe Budden and Canibus; this team is definitely showing that they have the talent for the national level. The team released their debut group project Live & Direct in 2009, with a 2011 followup of Dyzasta’s Natural Dyzastae.p. and Rated’s Up In Smoke mixtape. Currently Stunt City ent is working on their next group project as well as the joint venture with their family Street Status. Far from ordinary, Rated & Dyzasta are ready to take their career in the music industry to a new level, while at the same time give Boston the well needed respect that it deserves.
