Akrobatik

Akrobatik (born Jared Bridgeman) is a rapper who hails from the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

He's first single, Ruff Enough, was released in 1998.
His second single was released on the Independent New York label Rawkus, Internet MCs, but it was his next release, Say Yes Say Word, that achieved anthem status and solidified Akrobatik's reputation as a talented MC.

He has collaborated numerous times with many fellow Boston rappers, and recently formed a hip hop collective named The Perceptionists with Mr. Lif and DJ Fakts One.
Friends since their early days on the local scene, the trio first started working together on Fakts One's college radio show in the late '90s, formally adopting the name the Perceptionists in 2000. A 2004 mixtape called The Razor was the trio's underground bow, before the official debut Black Dialogue was released in early 2005.

With fellow Bostonian Mr. Lif, Akrobatik appeared on both the Emergency Rations EP and Lif's full-length, I Phantom, before dropping his own excellent debut, Balance, in 2003.

In December 2005, Akrobatik signed to Fat Beats Records. The Brooklyn-based label released his second full-length album, Absolute Value, on February 19th, 2008.



Akrobatik has worked with several other boston MC's like Edo. G, Guru, Big shug, Mr Lif & more. Akrobatik has thus gained respect on the Boston hip-hop scene and beyond by combining political consciousness with battle style aggressiveness in his lyrics.

Boot Camp Clik & Black Moon

The Boot Camp Clik is featuring similar-minded underground hardcore rappers like Originoo Gunn Clapaz, Cocoa Brovaz, Buckshot, Heltah Skeltah, Bucktown Juveniles, Jahdan, Illa Noyz, Steele, Top Dog, Louieville Sluggah, Starang Wondah, Tek, Sean Price, Ruste Juxx all of whom are concerned about keeping the music real and on a street level.

The Boot Camp Clik is a big hip hop family similar to The Wu Tang Clan.
Instead of establishing themselves as a crew before recording an album together, the rappers -- including Heltah Skeltah, Smif-N-Wessun and OGC -- each made solo albums and reunited in 1997 to make For the People.
Happily, the group used the opportunity wisely, deciding to forge ahead to new sonic territory.

Their debut album, For the People, came out in (1997). Their second record, The Chosen Few, appeared in 2002, and other followed: The Last Stand (2006), Still for the People (2007), and Casualties of War (2007).

The members of the Boot Camp Clik is also individually active as solo artists today. They have many goldmines, so there is no reason not to explore.

Personally is love Smif-n-Wessun including (Tek & Steele). Here is a preview song.

Buckshot is doing great and is maybe the artist you hear most of now a days. He has made many albums on he's own & has produced two albums with the mighty wizard, 9th Wonder.
