Snipe
Snipe is a name that articulates the motivation and determination of one’s inner ego and yet exposes his deepest perspective on music. His name gives a deeper analogy to “ aim and shoot with great precision”. Which his music proves the statement that Snipe aim’s for great success without the thought of being fatigued from the past accomplishments former camp Chopper City Boys.

April 18, 1981 Travis “Snipe” Edwards was born being raised with a tough loving mother that cares deeply for respect and discipline. On the count of Snipe’s father barely participating in his life as a young man. Snipe saw his mother struggle and work day and night so he aimed for success giving hope to his family, until this day he gives full credentials and love to his mother.

He started rapping at the age seventeen but took it serious at the age of twenty. Being motivated by 2pac and Notorious Big and being taught by the true messages they delivered. Snipe felt his message should be heard from that day. Snipe would like to thank Corey aka C-Boy R.I.P that introduced him to Troy Lawrence his first manager. Troy took consideration in his music and introduced him to B.G. and Snipe started seeing B.G as a big brother in the game. The murder of V.L was very devastating it was like losing a sibling, but Snipe had to keep moving forward due to the fact V.L would have wanted him to have a better life and stay away from the streets.

Snipe being a former member of C.C.B Travis had learned a lot from B.G. who taught him that the industry is dog eat dog world and loyalty is a prime factor. He feels that the lord will guide him through the ruff experiences the industry have to offer and wants to show the world the talent he was blessed with. Snipe mainly focused on his message in his music and he swiftly tries to touch all generations gracefully. He separates himself from artist who seems to be accounted for having negative attributes in the media or being compared to other artist style of music.

His goal is to cater to every race of people with his mixtape “Dealer” which provides one of his hot singles “Body Hot.” The melody of the chorus was inspired by the great Earth Wind and Fire. He is determined to bring his new sound to every part of the world his music can reach. Snipe’s closing statement was whatever you set your mind to can be done but you miss out on a hundred percent of the shots you don’t take in the music game. “For the younger generation it’s better to fail on originality than to succeed in imitation. back to top

Mike "M.I."  Olson

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything-  Van Gogh"

Mike Olson was born on January 9th, 1988 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  
Growing up, Mike was always the center of attention, and deeply devoted to music.  Through high school, Mike would create demos of music he was recording, and sell it in the hallways to students.  By junior year, he was performing original songs any chance he had, either in talent shows, or homecoming dances.  Popular to his classmates, Mike was voted "Most Likely To Succeed".  

Mike teamed up with a local artist and producer named Farris Glover, and a very lyrical emcee named Deandre Guilmant, Dre G for short.  The three formed immediately and created the group, Glory.  After introducing themselves to the downtown party scene, Glory started performing shows at local hot spots, the legendary roots of Prince, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and The Family.  After creating local buzz, Glory was featured on local radio stations, recording with local, rising hip hop artists, and toasting champagne with the owners of local nightclubs.  Along with recording original material, Farris,
and Mike produced many tracks for many different local artists, becoming two of the most sought after producers in Minneapolis.

After a few years of recording in Mike's parents basement, Mike decided to put himself through school for a degree in Audio Production and Engineering at Minneapolis Media Institute, formally Masters Recording Institute, but most importantly, Flyte Time Studios.  Mike quickly stood out amongst his classmates and was learning from Grammy Award Winning engineers and producers:  Tom Tucker and Paul & Ricky Peterson.  During one of his finals, Mike was asked by his engineering idol, Tom Tucker, if they could mix one of Mike's songs together.  Mike accepted.  While being in school, Mike
received credits from working on the demo of American Idol contestant, Casey Carlson, and local rock group, The Pines. Along with the talent of engineering, Mike also produces, writes, records, performs, and even creates the album artwork to any project he does.  On top of all the talent and potential, he is 22 years old.  Mike works for Best Buy full time, attends school full time, and records new material any time in between.  He has made a lot of contacts with powerful people in his home state, and
continues to go above and beyond the expectations from those around him.  Glory has since teamed up with The Shad Ireland Foundation, donating 100% of the publishing rights of their hit song, "From The Top", in order to increase awareness of kidney disease and to better serve the world in which we live.  They are fine young men driven for success, and built to withstand the long haul of a journey for true happiness.

De'andre  "Dre G." Guilmant

"The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible,-- and achieve it, generation after generation.".  -Pearl S. Buck.

Dre G born De'Andre Guilmant on July 18 1990 in Minneapolis is a determined up and coming Minnesota emcee. Growing up he had an evolved outlook on life, which made it very easy for him to
express his various opinions on a variety of subjects.  Since he was 10 he's had a knack for poetry and creating stories with a meaning. When he was about 14 he started creating a series of
homemade mix tapes with a friend and distributed them at his school. Talent shows and halftime performances became his venues of choice. During his senior year in high school, he started becoming serious about his focus on being the voice of Minnesota hip hop. "I feel like Minnesota is being heard but not listened to yet"-- Dre G. When asked what his biggest influences are when making a song he responded saying "expressing emotions we ALL feel daily, and explaining them on something you can snap your fingers and nod your head to".

He met with Mike "M.I." Olson and Farris "Veguz" Glover together forming the musical masterpiece known as Glory. Although Dre is considered the "baby" of the group, he has far from an infants flow. His lyrical ability can be explained as complex and confident, being full of a certain consistency of
bold statements. He is easily recognized when featuring on any track with his signature deep voice and manic variety of flows. His lyrics have an undertone of dominance that cannot be ignored and demands to be accepted. His mind is a maze that he opens for all his fans with every song and invites them into his world. Accompanying Glory on their movement to the top of the hip hop community, Dre G plans on offering a one of a kind experience through his music.

He's a very motivated young man that seems to feed off the skepticisms and doubts that others offer him. "If they believed I could do it before I did it.. How would they know when I get it done?"-- Dre g.
