As the headliner, Fashawn shows that musical diversity is possible and should be sought after. The Fresno native has meticulous wordplay, complexity, and delivery on significant societal topics which justifies him as a worthy voice of his culture.

Brooklyn emcee Stro will be displaying his lyrical prowess as demonstrated on his new EP Nice 2 Meet You, Again released in October. He has an ability to blend the heart of ‘90’s Hip-Hop with his own fiery spirit, making him a perfect fit on Mass Appeal’s roster.

Ezri has shown substantial growth since his show-stopping freestyle on Sway In The Morning. During the past year, he has opened up to his fans by delving into his past in Cleveland that made him who he is. His storytelling and distinct ability to switch up his flow is prodigious to say the least.

Hailing from Albany, GA, Cantrell’s smooth flow is accompanied by high levels of introspection and depth. His level of emotional maturity is what differentiates him from the bevy of other emcees trying to make it in the hip-hop world.

Garnering influence from the likes of Musiq Soulchild, Sade & Jay-Z, New Jersey-raised 070 Phi prides himself on being an artist without boundaries as he raps about his real-life experiences.

The STARTING 5 Tour will be hitting 25+ cities, opening on February 6, 2019 in Santa Ana. Tickets are available now at massappealrecords.com/starting5tour
