Spottie Jones is a rapper and producer from Lindenwold, NJ who creates thought-provoking music that expresses his identity and creativity. He grew up listening to genres likes rap, alternative folk, and rock before starting to rap in high school with friends. He joined the band, The Luv Munkeyz, while at Morehouse College and perfected the art of producing with an MPC — ultimately leading to the releases of projects like 4 Loko with Mark IV in 2019 and WutDuzDisEvnMeen, Pleroma, and Burnt Out in 2021. Jones is driven by a plan for music to be the way in which he lives his life — not as a means to acquire fame or fortune. Freespottie currently resides in Atlanta, GA.

Imp (they/them) is an MC and producer who posits themself at an intersection between eclectic metaphors, socially progressive content, and a cornucopia of comic book references. Imp is very atypical of most rap music coming out of Atlanta, eschewing triplet flows on trap music for densely compacted rhymes on beats more akin to boom-bap and jazz. “Idle Hands” is the 4th solo album from Imp, depicting the grieving process over a series of months.
