In a time of political turmoil, urban drug wars and over-commercialized entertainment, 3 young men have embarked on a winding journey to take hip-hop back to where it started, by bringing it to their home. North Carolina has birthed 2 and raised all 3 of the most unique artists to ever converge on one mission -- ladies and gentlemen, N.O.R.T.H. Coalition (Brimstone/5950).
James “Leggs” Leggett, Joe “Blazer” Jones and Ron “Styles” Walker each call one of I-85’s illustrious cities their home.
Born on October 26th, 1983 in Bronx, NY, Leggs is a High Point, NC representative with the lyrical dexterity and ingenious wordplay to match.
January 4th, 1984 gave way to Styles, a Charlotte native dual-armed as a clever wordsmith and N.O.R.T.H.’s premier producer.
The energy packed, emotion felt flow is that of the third element, the Elder Statesman of the Coalition, Joe Blazer entered the world on March 21st, 1978 in Greensboro, NC.
Through all of the rigors of being a North Carolina adolescent, the turn of the millennium would somehow bring these three MC’s to the centermost region of North Carolina, the Triangle. Some call it fate, others call it chance, but to N.O.R.T.H. everything happens for a reason. In, 2001 Leggs enrolled at North Carolina Central University, in Durham, NC, which is also the year he and Blazer first met. Enter 2002 and Styles begins his matriculation at the University also, where he first met Blazer as both were members of the Sound Mac
