Remember the female that was down with B2K? Ok if not remember the chick who was singing on Drake's "July" (it was her song first!) song? Yes this is her ladies and gentlemen. She has dropped a free mixtape titled "Sailing Soul(s)." Below is her official biography.

"i am not this image
i am not my name
(jhene aiko efuru chilombo)
i am not my age
( march 16 1988)
i am not where i was born and raised
(los angeles, california)
i am
a mother to a beautiful girl named namiko.
a baby sister to 3 brothers, 3 sisters and a big sister to 1.
the daughter of christina yamamoto and karamo chilombo
but more relevantly, the daughter of water, earth and the sun.
i signed to epic/tug as a 12 year old child, and asked to be released from both companies at the age of 16 to finish high school. i escaped the made up world of hollywood to experience the natural beauty of the real world.
i am a writer, so i never stopped writing.
i am a singer, so i never stopped singing.
i am a student of life, so i never stopped learning and experiencing.
shortly before i conceived my daughter, i stepped back into the field and took a meeting with a label head . in this meeting, i was innocently told, to “sell” myself “when walking into these meetings.”
that’s when i decided i would sail my “self” rather than sell my “self”.
about a year and a half later. i conceived my second child….
“sailing soul(s)”, with the amazing los angeles based producers, fisticuffs.
sailing soul(s) is my first of many offerings to any and everyone who will listen and pay attention.
the message is a simple one: sail you’re soul….don’t sell you’re soul…..its the only thing we can take with us , where ever it is we go… .
….. to be continued. “

HIP HOP'S ROCKSTAR, J!

J, Female Emcee/Producer/Songwriter/Musician
Her style, her charisma, and talent surpass many in her generation. She allows her thoughts to flow freely, as she pours her heart out onto her tablet creating masterpieces. She gives her audience what they need as well as what they desire. She's the truth of hip hop and she's in a class all her own. As a matter of fact, she instructs the class.
J (not Jay) has been a lover of music since she was a small child growing up in a small town of Georgia. She respected and nurtured that love until it blossomed into a bond, which is truly unbreakable.
J is not only a hip hop artist. This young woman is the CEO of her own label, Use Of Force Entertainment, a phenomenal producer, an exquisite songwriter, and a talented musician. J's many talents allow her to take her listeners on a musical journey like no other.
With her first single, "Queen", J schools the ladies on how to step up, take charge, and control their own destiny. "Queen" represents today's strong woman. Once the ladies hear J's powerful lyrics, they will no longer ask to be respected, they will go out and demand it. Her peers, simply, define it as a woman's anthem.
With J's current single, "Rockstar", she wants you to know the true definition of swagger. "Rockstar" definitely catches anyone's attention with its banging rock-influenced sound and unforgettable lyrics. With this track, J lets you know that material things don't give you swagger. Swagger is a state of mind built on courage, confidence, and charm.
People from all walks of life are drawn to this young woman like a moth to a flame. She has been featured in several online publications, such as Indy Hip Hop World, The Culturtainment Experience, and HHH Magazine. She has also been interviewed by some of the hottest online radio stations, such as That's My Word with Mari Torres, Boss Ladi Radio with Toya Anitri, and Triple Platinum Underground Radio with Tripp.
J is certainly a force to be reckoned with. And when you pop in her brand new EP, Breath of Fresh Air, you will find out why. She keeps it 100% real. There is nothing sugar coated. This lady is definitely taking hip hop to the next level. The BEST level. Make way, because the Queen has spoken and she has come to claim her throne.

Tommi also loves school, she has been a 4.0 student since preschool. She started homeschooling in 2006.
Tommi and her family moved to LA, California in 2005 after years of her bugging her parents about it. Tommi has been on National T.V since the age of 7, and had recent trips to New York and LA, and she really wanted to move to LA after visiting there many times. Tommi street performed from 2006-2008 on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. She loved it because "it was great practice, and I got to meet a lot of new people."
Tommi has been on music videos and commercials such as: Ford, Ludacris/Mary J. Blige, Greenday, U2. She also loves to dance, she was actually dancing before singing!

ONE VOICE, ONE GUITAR...Cupéro

Cupéro, Singer/Songwriter/Rocker
Of the numerous striking qualities of Cupéro, the 19-year-old singer, songwriter and rocker, it’s the commanding presence of her voice and songs that sets her apart. Cupéro sings with a maturity and sense of permanence that belies her youth and the relatively short amount of time that she has been in the New York music scene. On her debut, self-titled EP, she sings with a passion that reveals an unshakable commitment and ambition to be a performer that transcends barriers of music, ethnicity and language.
Raised in Warwick, New York, about 65 miles north of New York City, Cupéro has been singing since she was four years old. Piano lessons began at nine and then guitar at sixteen, which for her, has been the key to unlock everything. She explains, “Since picking up the guitar, everything has fallen into place – it was the right instrument for me to begin writing songs on, and image-wise, I love it. When I’m playing guitar – that’s the essence of who I am.”
Influenced by everything from modern artists like KT Tunstall and a few classic rock artists, Cupéro saves her biggest praise for the Columbian rock artist Juanes, a winner of seventeen Latin Grammys and who has sold over ten million albums. She says, “I really admire his music and his activism, and the fact that he’s bilingual was the inspiration for me to become a bilingual artist.”
Currently enrolled at Siena College, Cupéro has been performing at various shows and benefits for organizations like SAFER (Students Active For Ending Rape), as well as Road Recovery, a drug awareness program who she wrote a song for. But clearly, her eyes are on goals to come. She states, “Right now I’m concentrating on developing a local fanbase and taking my songwriting to the next level – but I want to take it to the highest level I possibly can and win an international fanbase.” While that kind of ambition might be stretch for most artists, given the quality of songs and performances on her debut album, for Cupéro, it all seems very much possible, and within her exceptional reach.
