About

Rappers I Know is a web portal, creative shop and boutique music label focused on highlighting unknown and under-recognized talent in Rap and Soul music and the Arts. The project was established by myself and my peers in the Houston underground Hip Hop community as a platform to present, promote, and distribute local Houston music to new audiences using word-of-mouth buzz and a strong independent work ethic.

Via Rappers I Know and New Element Design Fellowship/Oh, So Nappy!, UnLtd. I have helped promote, market and break such artists as H.I.S.D., The Niyat, Jay Electronica, Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange, Little Brother, J*Davey, Tanya Morgan, Kay, The Foundation, K-otix, D. Rose, Illmind, Strange Fruit Project, Chris “Daddy” Dave, The Luv Bugz, Black Milk, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Pacific Division and many others.

The site and project has grown in scope and ambition as we’ve continued the project, met new friends, and set new goals. Big things, soon come. Hope you stick with us. —FWMJ
