With talents spanning from rapping and songwriting to music engineering and authorship, the Emmy-nominated emcee’s music is powered by lyrical finesse and a zealous knack for constant evolution. His music reflects his astrological mapping, a Gemini who channels his gift of duality by way of introspective verses and anthemic choruses. On his most recent album, EDEN, the Genesis Renji universe swells to new heights, as he recruits subtle melodic flourishes and concepts of romantic vulnerability to cultivate his distinctive genre of noncommittal dreamer music. With a resume that includes landing song placements on Adult Swim and the OWN drama series Queen Sugar, publishing a self-help book (The Book Of Genesis: GOAT Talk), earning a 2018 Emmy nomination, performing at a Milwaukee Bucks halftime show, spearheading his own indie label (House of Renji), opening for Portland rapper Aminé, and many more accolades, Genesis has proven his vocal dexterity and undeniable star power are one-of-one. Instagram Tru WestMilwaukee born artist, Tru West, is a singer, songwriter, executive producer, and artist activist– who has been a creative force, shaking up the scene with her mesmerizing voice and nostalgic 90’s-esque style. Originally canceling out her dreams of performing due to stage fright, Tru’s love for fashion and design aligned her on the path to writing and recording her first song after working in a fashion show back in 2015. From creating remixes, or “Trumixes”, of popular songs to releasing her “Gift of Gab” eps I and II, Tru continues to push the envelope for what it means to be “tru” to yourself. Her undeniable talents and versatility has led her to artist activism, working with local organizations, such as, Leaders Igniting Transformation, where she executively produced a collaborative mixtape “From the Ashes, We Rise” that featured an All-Star cast of local artists–including, Genesis Renji, Von Alexander, Nile, MoCity, Mudy, and more. Tru’s evolution has been nothing short of divine, as she embraces her depth and vulnerability in upcoming projects, she strives to connect with listeners more personally in 2022.
