Lamar Gudger who goes by the moniker BIGGS, is a Bigg Mann on a Bigg Mission. Biggs has been a part of the R&B and Hip Hop scene in East Tennessee for more than 20 years.

Walt Maddoz, the enigmatic WI-PHI, short for Wise Philosopher, has been rocking the underground hip-hop scene in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina for more than a decade. Formerly a member of the now defunct A-51 squad, he's currently a solo standout on the Imperial Inc. music roster. Wi-Phi is a diverse and well-blended formula of traditional emceeing and evolved language art skills. He further denotes himself as "The Original Language Artist" in reference to the many poetical stylings and writing techniques that embody his works. His most notable and grandiose single, Public Enemy, can be found on music platforms such as Spotify as well as the Imperial Inc. compilation album The Upper Echelon. Wi-Phi is a gifted and imaginative rap lyricist akin to the Kendrick Lamars and Royce - 5'9s of the world, but wrapped in a southern flavor and rooted in the contextual and organic feel of music ranging from Black Star to the Wu-Tang Clan.

Alfie Jefferson is MYSTER RHYTHM, a hip-hop powerhouse, crowd rousing DJ from East Tennessee. Don't let his country roots and his cool persona fool you. When he steps to the mic, he is a force to be reckoned with. He is inspired by Jay-Z, Scarface, Eightball and MJG, Redman and Busta Rhymes. He spits hard core rhymes but can deliver a catchy radio smash that gets club goers on the dance floor! He may appear calm off stage -- probably the coolest guy you will ever meet -- but don't let that fool you either. He's got the fire in his performance that gets the crowd going. MYSTER RHYTHM has the physique that the ladies love. He fits right in with the industry as he has shared the stage with Coolio, Petey Pablo, Mystikal, Keith Sweat, Sir Mix A Lot, K-Ci and JoJo, Roger Troutman and Blessed Union of Souls. Ladies adore him, guys respect him, and he's got hip hop fans intrigued.
