Raheem J. Vann-Davidson
Born on May 13, 1989, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Raheem is an African American music artist, Entrepreneur, Business Owner, and CEO. Currently signed a multi-deal contract with O.M.O Music, LLC & Blazed-Up Records. He is a solo artist for a company and A&R Manager under B.U. R’s artist development department.
By the age of (13) P was a freestyle rapper, engaging in rap battles and competitions at school talent shows. He and some of his friends were given the opportunity to compete in the “Roberto Clemente State Park Fest” in Bronx New York, this is where P was noticed for his rap ability. Just a year later age (14) Raheem released his first debut mixtape in high school titled Why P, releasing one hundred copies in 2004 to his high school peers. In his sophomore year P met Don Beach, a longtime friend of his uncle DJ Big De. At this time, the owner of D.T.E (Dream Team Entertainment) began working with youth allowing them to hang out and perform at a bowling alley called The Ally’ where most young artists made their first appearance. By the age of (15) P founded the rap group Test the Bee with his brother Travis Vann (Trey Dub), Cousin Thomas Dixson (Navy) and childhood friend Miguel Gonzalez (MAG).
P later reconstructed the group after many falling outs over the brief time and added childhood Friends Hilkiah Wiliams (Joker), and Thomas Williams (Tei Jay.) where it was suggested that they change their name simply to “T.T.B” an acronym for Test the Bee. They made their first appearance in 2005 on 89.9 Fm and recorded the EP “Da 2009 Reunion” with the leading single “Games” Ft. T.J. The group developed a close relationship with a lot of Connecticut music managers, A&R's, DJs, and producers then shortly fell apart.
Following the fall out P met the S.W.A.G.G Boyz and was given an opportunity to be a dancer on their "N Da Mix" dance team. P expressed his love for music and was later given another opportunity to be a part of their rap group called Full Circle, earning the name General. GP's first solo mix tape on the label was entitled, "No Subliminal Shyt" the CD was set to be released in September 2009 under Full Circle Ent. The mixtape featured popular guests' artist and producers such as battle rapper Suspense, Producer Panama, Artist Citi Truth, Hot 93.7 DJ Ricky Tan and more but was written off as uninspired and rushed. General P acknowledged the criticism by saying “the record label and staff was never a part of the creative processes and barely supported on activities.” In 2010 General P returned to his community and finally made a name for his self after releasing just over 1,000 copies of his second mixtape On My General Shyt hosted by Spotlight Ent's young DJ, DJ Lito.
By 2012 GP started writing to add a series tape to his discography, and P produced four segments’: TAKEN Volumes 1-4. These tapes gave General P another platform and in 2015 leading him to an artist development deal with Rose from Concrete and sent on two tours in 2016 for his Live in DC Tour & Heat 16 (Baltimore) edition. Shortly returning from his tour dates General P noticed he had a superior quality, and that was to help his peers and youth. P then later formed his company On My Own Music Consulting, LLC.

Aarion F. Santiago
Also known as A.S. The Great & BK Bangs is a Hispanic American Artist. Born On March 9th, 1998, in Brooklyn, New York. He is the oldest of three and growing up A.S.T.G. gained his neighborhood notoriety by joining a little league baseball team and was surprisingly an exceptionally good baseball player. Being so young at the time and having a loving, caring and popular father, young Aarion always knew deep down he wanted to be involved in music. The inspiration to do music all started from four major things; first being the 90’s Hip Hop era and music his father continuously played and introduced him to, next adopting his father’s passion and love for music, following was the hit teens TV show 106 & Park, and lastly the ambiance of being born and raised in Brooklyn.
A.S. The Great started writing raps in fifth grade after learning that writing and English was his strongest strength. After a few years of jotting down stories, his passion for writing started to grow incredibly and in elementary school started writing short science fiction stories after being inspired by R.L. Stine. Young Aarion grew up listening to popular artists such as Biggie Smalls, 50 Cent, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Big L, which is just to name a few.
By the time A.S.T.G. was seven his family had moved to New Britain, Connecticut and as the years progressed, music was the new focus. At the prime age 16 he was around long enough to gain the confidence needed to begin musically recording. Mike, a local engineer took him under his wing and greatness was sure to come.
Aarion later attended and graduated from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. After seeing what professional engineers did in the studio this further inspired him to learn more and Music Production / Audio Engineering was the target. After graduating in 2018 with his B.S. in Music Production, A.S.T.G. created an Alias "Bk Bangs" a name which shows homage to his hometown, Brooklyn. With sounds that involve heavily driven, distorted, and crunchy 808 Bass, Aarion took producing music to another level. In early 2024, A.S. The Great signed a triple deal with O.M.O Music, LLC. While the company focused on Publishing / Distribution, Artist development, & Management, A.S. The Great a.k.a BK Bangs primary focused on Producing, Recorded, and Co-engineer his first E.P. (Greatness to Come) released in late September of 2024.
