W2FY Presents: Cam Meekins, Next up in Beantown
Sam Adams is not the only white rapper out of Massachusetts who has been making some serious noise in the game recently.

W2FY Presents: Mike Stud, A Rapper On His Way to Making it Big
Picture a white kid, raised in Rhode Island, who went to Duke on a baseball scholarship, became a freshman All-American, who then transferred to Georgetown. Would you picture him as a rapper?

W2FY Presents: An Interview with Tru Fam
Not often do you hear about a pair of musicians working together and killing it who are twin brothers. Well, things are different for Tru Fam: they truly are family.

I got a chance to catch up with Tru Fam and talk about their music. …

Truth AKA Trouble, a rapper out of Champaign, Illinois, and I had a a chance to kick it before our show at U of I with Chip the Rip, DJ E-V, James Wade and Felix Cartal.

W2FY Presents: Olu, a Name You Will Certainly Be Hearing in the Future
The first time I listened to Olu, his unique, flawless flow and his obvious lyrical talent immediately struck me. Olu was born in Akron, Ohio, and grew up in Strongsville, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. “Because I grew up in the suburbs I always got judged and people thought I wouldn’t get anywhere with rap,” said Olu. “They had it wrong though. Living in the suburbs didn’t mean I was wealthy. My family was always broke. School was always a …

W2FY Presents: Brenton Duvall, Wiz, and T Swift; “Mean Planes and Taylor Gangs”
Brenton Rules. ‘Nuff said. Duvall’s production skills are absolutely absurd, listen to that synth, it’s the illest. Straight kids from this kid for a long, long time. Taylor should have him produce her next track. Link to the interview after the jump! W2FY.com Presents: Mean Planes & Taylor Gangs (Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Swift) by jumbro
