Onis
Biography
Clever and imaginative, Onis can definitely be described as a lyrical genius. With music influences such as Nas, Onis pulls from the greats of the 90’s and transfers that energy and dedication to lyricism to today’s culture, making him reminiscent of the rappers that that always brought a strong lyrical content to every song and reminds us of the legendary days when rap was deep, provided communities with a voice, and was only performed by those whose craft was sharp.
Born on the Eastside of Chicago, Onis’ start in music as a songwriter and producer stemmed from an identification of a lack of quality music in the industry. “I noticed that music was starting to shift around 2004 and it wasn’t for the better, so I picked up my pen.” His mixtape, “On the Contrary,” has gotten rave reviews from the Chicago music industry. Enjoyed by young and old hip-hoppers alike, it is quite clear that it had an “old school foundation” with a “new school notation.” His rhymes are new and fresh enough to be enjoyed by the new generation and yet still deep enough to capture the minds of us that remember the days when rap was truly an art form. He has his finger on the pulse of today’s society, but knows how to express it with a mature flair.
As a symbol of a positive turn in rap culture, Onis’ next moves are anxiously awaited. “My ambition,” says Onis, “is to provide a breath of fresh air to the city and the culture in general.”

Biography
The Goodoctors, the duo of Laurice "Reece Rolex" Trotter and Terrance "Terry HoGun" Howard, are ignoring the standards of traditional entertainment and creating their own rules in hip-hop. Candidly expressing their views and pushing the limits of public entertainment, they are far from the average media personalities and specialize in tackling the latest issues. Their "because we said so" attitude and pushy opinions demonstrate that they were pioneers of their own style. After publishing their list of the top 10 people that they wanted out of music, they became notorious for their honest and spot-on critiques of music artists, the industry, and hip hop culture as a whole.
In 2006, the Goodoctors started their show entitled "The Goodoctors Segment" on CTA Radio, which aired weekly from 10pm-midnight on 88.5 WHPK. With fellow personalities, Pugs Atomz and Kevin Maxey, this show jumpstarted their career and proved to listeners that not only were their views edgy and new, but that they were also accurate and indicative of the current condition of hip-hop. In addition to their work on CTA Radio, the Goodoctors continued their work as media trendsetters in a show on IIT radio with DJ Averi Minor and DJ Fokis, which ran from 2006 to 2007. In 2009, they took a more viral approach to media and hit the internet with "The Goodoctors Awards," featuring interviews from a wide number of celebrities.
Their involvement with music does not end at commentary! The Goodoctors also assist many artists in an Artists and Repertoire capacity and work on various music projects. Recently, they released an album with producer extraordinaire SC (celebrity producer for artists and groups such as Mobb Deep, P. Diddy, Saigon, Jim Jones, etc.) titled "The DUFF," featuring Mikey Rocks, GLC, Truck North (Roots Crew), YP, Vic Mensa, Naledge and the all of the hottest artists in the Chicago music scene.
