ORLANDO, Fla- "Music is a huge focal point in my life right now, without it there is never a want to stride higher." This quote was stated by Kory NiBlack, after recording and performing his new song "Richard Nixon" Saturday night in "The Den."

Along with NiBlack, rappers Sean Black and Joshua Woods also contribute to the music game, in a style which is known as underground rapping.

Underground rapping is a form of music from unsigned artist, releasing self made albums, and performing for local neighborhood parties and night clubs to make a name for themselves.

The performers work diligently and hard hoping one day to make it big. "Underground music isn't the most perfect music, but it is a start, many great rappers started out as underground musicians and have made it big. With patients and practice so will we," stated artist Sean Black.

With appearing in freestyle battles, and performing in night clubs such as Mt. Zion in Tallahassee Fl. the performers may be heading in the right direction after all.

Close friend, beat producer and manager Ronald Joseph, has already had meetings, with A&R music company in California Fl. with some of the rappers samples to get there name and music out to more professional producers. “I think it's a real good look for the boys, as long as they keep making great music, they will always get good feedback," Stated Joseph

Practicing long hours, and gearing up for performances in "The Den" located in Ocoee Fl. has been the main stream for the rappers so far self success. "It's not much and sometimes even nothing, but money isn't the first issue when it comes to the passion for rapping. As long as I'm satisfied, and the crowds I perform for are, my work is done. Fame comes with time, and one day I will get my notoriety," sated Woods.

With dealing with the tough economy, the rappers perform for positivity, to stay off the streets, and to keep the crowds they perform for wanting more of their music. With numerous albums, and another one to be released sometime this month, Woods, NiBlack, and Black believe the only way they are headed from hear is up.

"We Work our hardest, and that's what we will continue to do, we make, write, and create music, our local fans can "vibe" to, and one day so will the world," stated NiBlack.
