There is many cities that have brought us great music talent in the United States, like New York , LA , Atlanta, Florida, and more. I come from a small town the the music industry has not looked at but has no choice now but to acknowledge it's talent. Johnstown Pennsylvania is becoming a member of the best music states and cities in America . The pure talent that is coming out of here is crazy! Rock and Roll, Rap, Hip-hop , Country, Blues, R&B, it's all there in a little town which has been overcome with drugs and violence like never before. With violence rising in the city it is hard to find an escape from it all, but there are some great artists that are using their gifts to make change in the city! I can honestly say that the music is changing the landscape of the city and is reaching the rest of the world in rapid succession. Rap music is becoming a big deal here when it once was disgraced and the as a fire starter, but the urban voice has been a collective force and pulled out of the fire. Artist like Ten - Twenty-Seven, Jay Lamont , Chris Deville, Reek Havik , John Sisco, and studios like Hott Traks run by Tim "Supreme" Odum and Rolow Entertainment have brought an opportunity where once barron now young men have an outlet other than guns and drugs. 56&Running and Royal Dutchie are businesses that are providing outlets for artists of the R&B, Hip-hop and Rap genre's in the town to showcase their talents. Toxic Artistry is a company that is also getting into the mix with local and state wide talent with their showcase set for next month. The 814-ever tour was launched on Friday with a great response at the Bottoms Up Club, featuring artists ranging from Rap and R&B with Johnstown ' s Kim King as the driving force in the R&B genre, when you need a female with range you call her. Johnstown has a rock group like no other Inside Out has been kicking ass and taking names for about 2 decades and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. With a huge fan base from Johnstown to even overseas they are a huge staple from the small town with a huge rock bang! Playing all over the state and US they have garnered a cult following that grows everday and the fans love them! This seems that this little town has become the newest music city this is only the beginning !
