Stalley
Stalley began independently releasing mixtapes in 2008 with Goin’ Ape and its 2009 follow-up MadStalley: The Autobiography, but his breakout tape was Lincoln Way Nights. From there, he personally touched down at hot spots all over the world including the 2010 Iron Mic Competition in Beijing, serving as a featured MC. BET named him a Music Matters artist, while his videos hit rotation on MTV Jams and106&Park. As buzz grew, Rick Ross personally reached out, inviting him to join the [Maybach Music Group/Atlantic Records].

Embracing his own individuality, Stalley made show-stopping turns on all three installments of Maybach Music Group's chart-dominating Self Made compilation series. Moreover, his 2013 Honest Cowboy mixtape earned a nomination for "Best Mixtape" at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards, while garnering a coveted "XL" rating fromXXL and countless other enthusiastic reviews. However, in January 2014, he holed up in Rick Ross's Atlanta home and began work on what would become Ohio. The album’s title speaks to the vision he aimed to achieve.
