“The Band of the Hawk, the mercenary company known as DEF on the battlefield, are a spacious affair: all looped menace and blunted minutiae, not unlike early RZA productions; if he had been raised in Houston’s Fifth Ward worshiping 90’s hood flicks more than kungfu cinema and stuck in a Mario Brothers maze. These early efforts have since been re-absorbed, shoving way towards the Hawks’ penchants for texture over bombast, interpretation over definition. The current line-up of the Hawks: Noah Archangel, Yeaux Majesty, Houey Freeman, P.Ey3, Spear Chukka, DJ Mastermind and Whoa Vada – succeeds in meeting the audience’s current expectation from a hip-hop group. Each personality is equally present and distinguishable from track to track, regardless of preferred artistic attack. Whether Noah raps or produces, or Yeaux spits coolness on the mic first or last, listeners know the unmistakable gumbo that is the Band of the Hawk ”

DON CHE "My music is my bio! Pay attention"
Jianetti “Music is interpretive. Every artist creates music with what they see and feel, and we all don’t see and feel the same thing.”
Throughout his musical career, he has performed in several cities and states but it all started for him in Taylor, Michigan where he was born and raised. He raps, sings, beatboxes and plays the piano, and he plans to learn more musical outlets as he continues to progress as an artist. He’s a passionate person and music has always been the outlet for him to express himself.
Through the anger and happiness, the struggles and successes, music has always been there to help him put these moments into words. The more he performed, the more he noticed along the way that people shared the same love for music, and he found a new motivation to do this for others just as much as he does it for himself and his family. So through your ups and your downs, know that you’re not alone.
His Agenda: Performing, Networking and Growing. “My music would not be what it is today without my supporters: family, friends and fans alike.”

Born JamalMcLean in Spanish Town aka “Hangman Town” in Jamaica, West Indies, he came to the United States at the age of 15 years old where he lived in the Bronx, N.Y. His neighborhood was plagued with drugs, crime and gangs, very much like Kingston. He quickly fell in with the wrong crowd and eventually found himself incarcerated and facing 25 years to life. At that moment LO decided he needed to change the direction his life was headed in. He got on his knees and prayed to God with all his might for forgiveness and promised to walk a straight path. His prayers were answered, he was found not guilty and released. Now it was time to make good on the promises he made to God.
LO transitioned from the street life to an artist and businessman with the help of his longtime friend and mentor Pras of The Fugees. “Pras is the big bro. He keeps me inspired and guides me as an artist. He has been so successful and has so much knowledge about the music industry. He keeps me on point.”
LO began investing his time, money and full energy into studio sessions and creating his label. He and his friends had started their own group called 88. Each member had a different skill and talent to contribute to the group. Some sang, others rapped and/or made beats. In 2017, 88 LO, 88 GOLDIE, 88 CedDean and 88 K-Dogg released their first track, “TrapHouse” with a visual for YouTube. It received close to 500 views! This was just the beginning…
His hard work payed off when DJ K-SLAY caught wind of the single, “TrapHouse“. He was quite impressed with the song, in particular, 88 LO’s verse. He reached out to LO and they began to build a working relationship. In late summer 2018 LO released his first solo single, “Betrayed“, to rave reviews! To date, the video has garnered over 30, 000 views on YouTube. Six months later he dropped his first official project, “Millionaire Dreams Billionaire Nightmares” mixtape hosted by, none other than, DJ K-SLAY. Lead by the blazing hot single, “Spray It” ft. Dave East, It is quickly becoming a certified street classic!

With that encouragement young D’Asti used the gifts in music acquired from years of childhood music influences from both grandparents to remain consistent and embark on a journey unparalleled to the masses.

The love and word as well as the power of God has had the most influence in my life. “ says The Real Lady Don of her hardship
“As a young girl I use to gather at the church alter to sing in front of the congregation. The presence of God in my life has blessed me and gifted me with many talents causing me to want to express myself through ART writing, cooking as well as other organizational details. “
The Real Lady Don’s dream is to use her talents to build a church for the wild, remind people of the goodness of God and most of all maybe help direct some of her people back to the light for, as she says, “this life can sometimes be so dark”.
She is Hoping that her music and her prayers can spring life into those that have ears to listen. The real Lady Don can be found on social media via the following links:
