I have been writing, producing, and performing hip hop/rap music here in Utah for the past 12 years. Over the years, I have seen many locals, wack, good, great, and exceptional. I have seen alot of great talent come and go. But, there are ALOT of us still out here riding hard and grinding strong. It's been very slow, but UTAH will rise out of this, "Utahs best kept secret" status.
    If you haven't heard any or have only heard a few of us, you are really missing out on some of the best music of our genres you have ever heard.  Most of my top 40 friends on my Virtue Management USA (myspace.com/virtuethereala) page are part of this great Utah movement.  You can also click on the "music" icon at the top of the myspace page, then go to "top artists". Choose Utah from the list and choose hip hop and/or rap for the genre and check out our top 100.
    Hip hop and rap are not the only genres of music, nor even genres of entertainment that have been slept on and/or under rated.  Utah has a huge abundance of great entertainers all the way across the table. If you don't believe me, check for yourself. I wouldn't be out here still and for so long if I didn't have a strong confidence for our local scene.
    Thank you very much for your time in reading this. I have invested alot of time and energy in doing the music and promoting it. My promise to you with my own music is that, if you support it and/or keep supporting it, I will continue to keep writing and producing more.
