Baby Bash (real name Ronald Ray Bryant) is a 45-year-old Latin-American hip-hop artist from Vallejo, California. He is known for his 2003 single “Suga Suga” and has gone on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the industry such as T-Pain, E-40 and Akon.

Multi-gold and Grammy-nominated Petey Pablo is best known for rap anthems such as "Raise Up,” “Freek-A-Leek” and “Carolina Colors."

The Sugarhill Gang is known for "Rapper's Delight" (1979). Many believe the Sugarhill Gang to be the first professional rap group. 

Tone-Loc (born Anthony Smith) shot to stardom in 1989 when "Wild Thing" (using a sample from Van Halen's "Jamie's Cryin'") became a massive hit. The song was co-written by Marvin Young, better known as Young MC, as was the second single smash, "Funky Cold Medina." Tone-Loc expanded into acting in 1992 and 1993, appearing a few times on the Fox sitcom Roc. He was also in the films Posse and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and in 1991 returned to recording with Cool Hand Loc.

Carl Terrell Mitchell (born November 27, 1973 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Twista and formerly Tung Twista, is an American rapper who once held the title of fastest emcee in the world, being able to pronounce 11.2 syllables per second.
