Gnomiagre' (pron: No Me Ah Gray)

The word "Gnomiagre'" means the breaking in the clouds,
after the storm. "People would always say oh my goodness,
everytime you walk into a room heads turn. Your like a burst of
sunshine...and this is how I got my name".
Born to Lawrence and Anita, the newlyweds knew they had created
something special. A little town in northeast Philadelphia was all
a buzz about this little baby girl who was born covered in gray,
and performed a complete 360-flip minutes after seeing the sunshine.
"And she's been flippin' ever since.." says her
father whom she's originally named after. Little Lauren grew up
singing in church after father first, then mother both became ordained
ministers. In elementary school she knew she wanted to be on somebody's
stage, most of the time if not in church she would perform for her
family. However, she began to draw a crowd.
Joining every performing arts activity she could possibly make
time for she not only became a member, but excelled to the top.
A preacher's kid and the youngest of four girls, she's graced the
stage since the age of Twelve in her first professional production
tour, with the American Family/Prince Music Theater's Rainbow
Company. "The Janet Jackson of musical theater"
she's been called, incorporating her energetic stage pressence and
diva-esc personality into every performance defines her name. Gnomia
joined the CFO fresh off the road with a local
theater company in 2001. As a background singer for Cee
Knowledge and the Cosmic Funk Orchestra, she toured nationally
for about two years before being presented with opportunity of a
life time: recording her first solo project at the legendary Sigma
Sound Studios (with Sound House productions).
She's worked with legends such as Bobby Eli (MFSB/Disco
Inferno), Joe Tarsia (Founder of Sigma
Sound House/ Vet. recording engineer), and Dj Miz
(World supremacy winner/Eve). Through her career
she's also had the opportunity to perform for and with actors Monica
Calhoun (the best man/players club), Mel
Jackson (soul food), Leon(the temptations)
, and none other than First lady Laura and President George
W. Bush.

KAI CHI –
METAPHOR PHYSICIST |

CODE NAME : FLO-SAMA BIN RYMN
GOVERNMENT NAME : UNKNOWN
GRAFFITI NAME : KAS
ALIASES : KING ALLAH SUPREME, MR. TWISTASPLIF, FLO-ZILLA, FLO KOSUGI,
NICK FURY & THA CHI
AFFILIATIONS : i2i, 224, LAW 1, iCP, DPG, OTB, BOLD ART, & 5TH
DYNASTY,
As a ghetto youth young Chi led a hard knock life. Born and raised
in POWER HILL (PHILADELPHIA) then as a teenager later relocated
to the BAD LANDS (NORTH PHILLY) which is considered an urban battlefield
left in ruins as a result of the crack wars in the 80’s. Early
in the game he became addicted to street life. Everyday was a struggle
in order to survive. He got caught up in all sorts of crime, hustles,
& scams.
Despite the harsh reality of the black experience living in a low
budget environment The Chi embraced Hip Hop wholeheartedly in all
its truest forms. He got worldwide rep for being one of the most
influential writers in GHETTOGLYPHICS. (GRAFFITI) It was then he
discovered a talent hidden within him self that would change his
life forever.
THE FLOW (REPETITION OF WORDS THAT GLIDES OVER BIO RYTHMS) opened
a whole new world to Chi. From that point on he capitalized off
his super lyrical skills to gain fortune and fame. Unfortunately
during this transition he drawn to much attention from the controversy
of condemning Uncle Sam (ILLUMINATI, NSA, FBI, CIA, etc…)
and became Public Enemy No.1 to the powers that be.
In a desperate attempt to escape the clutches of the New World
Order, Kai Chi sought sanctuary over comrades’ secret C.F.O.
headquarters (MISSION CONTROL). It was here where he met a man named
CEE KNOWLEDGE (FOUNDER OF C.F.O.) who shared his vision and recognized
the potential of a rhyme phenomenon in this young soldier. Knowledge
decided to take The Chi under his wing and help him master his new
profound abilities.
For three years they crossed the globe training day after day in
martial arts, photography stage presence, voice projection, the
sciences of life, studied 120 The Supreme Mathematics, and gained
knowledge of self. Through the use of RAPKINESIS The Chi managed
to climb the ranks of C.F.O. at the speed of crack rocks becoming
the No. 1 operative still to this day specializing in lyrical MCGUYVERISMS
(PHAT RAP CATRAPTIONS).
POWERS: DIME CONTROL - The ability to control & manipulate the
minds of unintelligent female life forms. RAPKINESIS – The
psychic rhyme power to move crowds of people with super flows. METAMORPHISMZ
– The ability to change any structure of a substance into
a smoke able rolling apparatus to relieve any stressful situation
at hand.

Cosmik Krissy |

Krissy Carlson is a singer/songwriter/actress, born in Rhode
Island. Krissy was adopted at birth because her parents were too
young to have children. Krissy began her career at an early age
8 with children's musical theatre. She also, began writing poetry
and short stories at an early age, using these as an outlet for
her feeling of never finding her place in life. Krissy spent the
early part of her life struggling through group homes in the city
and learning life's lessons the hard way. “I spent long hours
listening to my friends from the group homes, beat-box and rap and
teach me about life. After leaving state custody, I found solace
in traveling on the road. I had to leave for awhile because things
were getting bad every where I turned.”
While hitchhiking her way to shows around the country, Krissy
Carlson found her calling. “There were musicians all around
me.” Music, lights, chaos and confusion attracted this young
gypsy. She traveled around like this for 3 years and finally decided
to go home and rest. This is where Harvest Tribe came into play.
“While settling down in RI, we formed a band and started playing
out. I concentrated on this for awhile and then went right into
studio recording after the death of our lead guitarist Jester Jim.
I started out recording in Maf‘s(Blank Fasiz) basement . Through
him, I met up with Cee Knowledge (Doodlebug of the Grammy Award
winning Digable Planets), and we hit it off immediately and started
working together on his album. We did some shows together around
the country, from New York To Los Angeles. We began recording my
album in Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia , PA. with Bell. I
met up with numerous artists and did collaborations with Jah Sun
(Born Rulers, King Britt) and Kai Chi (Cee Knowledge and the Cosmic
Funk Orchestra, KingBritt). These collaborations inspired me even
more to finish my album. Cee Knowledge introduced me to another
producer Troy Taylor (Boyz II men,Tyrese,B2K), who then added some
more life to my project, including a collaboration with Dave Ghetto
(Nuthouse Crew). I, then met up with Trakaddix members T.O. (Jaheim,
Ground Floor), Spliff (Realism), Delick (Mike Weekes) and Weswind
(Darkflow Productions). We began recording solo tracks locally.
I, then returned to Sigma Sound House, and recorded with in-house
producer Don Wil and his brother Bigga Dre. Moving up, I have worked
on collaborations with Dice Raw of The Roots at Larry Gold's ‘The
Studio' in Philadelphia, thanks to Jah. Also in Philly, Cosmik recently
worked out of the legendary A Touch Of Jazz Studio, writing and
performing an original song with in house producer Demien (Jill
Scott), who will be releasing his solo album. Cosmik also threw
some ad-libs on a new song written and performed by Farnsworth Bentley
(Making The Band, P.Diddy)and produced by Grammy award winning team
Vidal and Dre (Usher, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott).
She also graduated Connecticut School of Broadcasting for radio
and television. She has made her appearance on screen in an independent
training video.
