Rell Cash, Ashlee Bankz, Stock Marley, Raymi

Rell Cash absorbed his talent effortlessly through imitating his father as a child. Although his relationship with his father wasn’t always the best, his father was his main source of musical influence. His interest and natural ability to freestyle and write songs came about as his father vast tastes of music. He would sing and rap along with some of his fathers favorite songs; and when he wouldn’t remember a line or so, he would come up with his own lyrics.Ashlee Bankz is from Flossmoor, IL, a south-suburb of Chicago and describes herself quite simply, and adequately, dope as fuck.Stock Marley hails from the Westside of Chicago. FREENATION memberA Chicago native, Raymi brings her soulful grit & edgy play through lyrics & music videos. Using her verses, Raymi reveals her perspective on issues, that without experience & undertakings, she wouldn’t otherwise be able to comment on. A lifelong dancer, she started out freestyling with friends which made her realize there are different ways to love music. To her, it made sense, rap is rhythm & poetry.
