The Alliance (NC)
The Alliance is the premier hip hop group coming straight out of The Winston-Salem, NC. The Alliance is 3 MC's, Mz. Nokz, Jon Blaq, Seventh Sign, and backed by DJ/Producer J.Lone.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, we play live, and look to play as much as possible in the near future. We've played at Candlelights in High Point, NC, PS 211 and the Formula all in Winston-Salem. We have shows lined up in SC that we're looking forward to and hopefully some other spots through the south and up the coast.
