About Dante:
Hundreds of live shows, and 7 releases after his first rough recordings and freestyles Dante is one of the brightest stars breaking out of the rich Detroit Hip Hop scene. Dante has toured North America extensively on solo tours, with other artists and on the Van’s Warped tour, Dante has also toured Europe several times. Dante has shared the stage with everyone from Method Man to Aphex Twin, KRS 1 to Fishbone, Ghostface to Atmosphere, D12 to Sage Francis and everyone in between.
As a recording artist Dante’s debut solo release Roaming Empire was the most added hip hop album when it was released to college radio, and burst up to #2 on the Hip Hop charts for several weeks, helping to earn Dante’s label Havoc a distribution deal and him a spot at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin.

About Sankofa:
You’d think that calling it quits on a lifetime passion would cause a great deal of sadness and miserable self-introspection, but for local rapper Sankofa, saying goodbye to the art form he loves is a cause for celebration. After 14 years of writing, performing, and recording, Sankofa is hanging up the Adidas Tomatinas and the Nike Wildedges and focusing on the new phase of his life. Sankofa (aka Stephen Bryden) and his wife, Jenn, recently welcomed the arrival of their son, Arthur, and the familiar constraints of job, marriage, and family have caused the artist to make the difficult decision to pull the plug on his musical career. As so many artists have discovered, sometimes there are simply not enough hours in the day to maintain a healthy balance between home life and the energies and resources necessary for artistic creation.
