The young men of No i.d (Young Smooth, Just-ice, and IQ) are a bright hot ray of sunshine in the competitive world of hip hop. With their amazing lyrics, rhythm and dynamic energy making their mark in a genre that fuels today's ever changing hip hop genre. This dynamic group lays down their own particular stamp on the world of Hip Hop, making them not only original, but a breath of fresh air with insightful lyrics and a drive for excellence that refuses the thought of mediocrity. Their love for music is their bond and their unique chemistry lyrically and as performers is what sets them apart. With their latest release, “Presidential” `NO i.d has raised awareness to youth of all ages of the importance of this year’s presidential election, and has allowed the younger generation to acknowledge the importance of political figures in day to day life. With their self title album No i.d. scheduled to be released later this fall this remarkably talented group of 15 year old young men ensures many more hits in the future. With their style and Charisma No i.d has brought the public such hits as "Stuntin", “Come here", "Victory" and “Watchin You" with a fury and energy that can only be described "Triumphant, clearly, for these young men, but triumphant also for the genre." Despite living the crazy life of traveling, shows all over Northern California, and Nevada, No i.d finds time to maintain an impressive academic schedule and grades. They find home life in San Jose to be the place where they can feel grounded and spend time with family and friends. They also find the time to give back. They believe it is important to have a social conscience and lend both their time and their name to foundations and charities like the Live to Give Foundation. This is only the beginning for No i.d. The "Dynamic trio" is just that a dynamic force of nature that has captivated the world with their infectious style. And, as all men with a purpose, they will continue to deliver their own brand of rap/hip-hop, determined to keep us not only dancing, but expecting from them the same degree of excellence that they expect from themselves.

Bio
Fifteen-year-old rappers Rashad "Young Smooth" French and Justice "Just Ice" Jaroe are the new hottest rap sensations of the Bay Area. The two were united after having been introduced by a mutual friend “MC Underdogg” who at the time took them to UGMX™ Recording Studios were they met Mike Robinson aka “Big Mike”, CEO of UGMX™. Once Big Mike had the opportunity to listen to them perform together and having been extremely impressed by the boy’s unique style and charisma, it was then when he decided to take this young group under his wing. At which time he felt the one thing this young group was lacking was the presence of an energetic hype man to complete their stage presence. Keiontae better known as IQ, was incorporated into the group due to his energetic personality and charisma adding the final touch to what we now know as NO i.d. Given the fact that the boys were underage and with no id, and were unable to perform at many of the local night clubs, Big Mike felt that given the obvious facts the name NO i.d was the perfect match for the group and would lend more significance to their name. Thanks in part to savvy marketing, "Stuntin," which beats were produced by Bay Area’s own “Traxamillion “ has become one of the fastest and most requested songs on the local radio stations and on you tube. NO i.d is undisputedly the next sensation to very soon hit the mainstream.
