LiL X
Birth name: Christopher Xavier V. Benitez Stage name: Lil’ X A.K.A. Kane Age: 18 Hometown: Dallas, TX Genre: Gangsta Rap/Southern Rap
Lil’ X is multi-talented as well. He has been recording and rapping since the young age of 12. His different voice with a southern flavored style is what we believe will be the future sound of the south. As the years have gone by he has grown as an artist lyrically by leaps and bounds. "X" writes all his lyrics and produces most of his own beats. We think that with a little time and possibly the right training he could easily become the next Lil’ Wayne. ‘X’ shows a lot of drive and promise to the industry. He is great when he produces his beats as well. He shows up on most of his own tracks and has produces a few beats for Sleep-E-J. Now although he seems quiet once he is put in front of a Mic or an audience he has gone so far as to have stealing the show from other local artist whom he has opened for. "X" was once part of another independent label and group but after they stole a beat with no royalty payment or even acknowlegement he left via a breech of contract clause that has since allowed him to work under the management of his uncle Rodolfo Valdespino and join the V.M.P. Roster. Based on his mix tape CD sells and his solo album sells from the last two years, we easily project his smooth yet "gangsta" sound, could lead him to gold or even platinum sells in the Texas region alone.

Birth name: Juan A. Valdespino Stage name: Sleep-E-J Age: 22 Hometown: St. Louis, MO Genre: Gangsta Rap/Southern Rap/East Coast
Sleep-E-J takes real life experiences and puts them in his music. He has his own swag to his voice and his rhymes. He likes to think of himself as the new younger Baby Bash with a twist of Nas/2pac. When he writes his songs for ladies it has a bit of a Baby Bash sound and when he writes his street/lyrical stuff it comes off to have that realty and soulfulness that 2pac/nas also posess. Like D-Lo, Sleep-E-J also is a fan of all types of music. He is always up to experiment to get a new fresh sound. He is not afraid to try things that are out of his usual elements. Sleep-E-J’s Music has a crunk, lyrical, soulful and sometimes a silly sound. Sleep-E-J tries to make it a point to having fun when he makes his music for entertainment purposes. He makes his music fitting to his moods or where he is in his life. But he tries to keep his music in a well rounded sound. |
