Bio

Born and raised in an urban community, a "Small City" in Pennsylvania better known as Harrisburg, is where the eccentric quartet began their rap career. "Z" and "Dream" born, Ahmad ( Z) and Hakim (Dream) Zahir are biological brothers whom have been dreaming of stardom since the very premature age of only ten years old. The two along with their little sister "Weebz" born Shariyfa Zahir, were all raised in the same household where rap battles and dance contest held precedence over all other activities, “We love to entertain, that's what we do."
Z, the oldest brother of the Zahir family has been the inspiration and ultimately the groups creator. Starting out as a solo artist, Z has inadvertently made a name for himself just by being nothing other than_ himself. His outgoing personality and down-to-earth persona has certainly enhanced his artistic allure. "It's been along time coming.", say the modest rapper. Z went from debuting his lyrical interest and raw rap talent at a local casting for a milk ad, where he conveyed how great milk is, to becoming an undisputed and adored headliner at a local nightclub, "The Broadway." Z has certainly proved himself to be a survivor. It was at "The Broadway" where he exuded gobs of raw talent and an undeniable hunger that resulted not only in him establishing an artistic professionalism, but also acquiring an abundance of egger fans all anxious for more. Z's desire for fame has not only had an influential impact on his many fans, but it has also sparked the curiosity, and fueled the desire in his younger brother better known as Dream, to become the phenominal lyricsit he is today.
“Hakim The Dream is an amazing artist”, says his fellow band members. He not only provides the group with insightful direction and a structured coordination but he also creates the beats, Small City spews their eclectic style and hard rap lyrics over. Without any direction or superior guidance by a musical veteran, only driven by his burning desire to excel, Dream taught himself single-handily how to create the rhythmic tunes we hear saturated throughout “Small City’s debut album “City Council.” Without thousands of dollars worth of equipment only a small computer, Dream discovered the recipe of how to arrange the kicks so they strike, boom the bass so it rumbles, and silence the snare’s, in such a way that it is music to everyone’s ears. Dream is no doubt a talented beat maker, but is probably more identified by his lucid lyricism. His lyrical talent is what places him above his peers. Often compared to rapping sensation and hip hop icon, Jay-Z, Hakim the Dream is definitely taking rap back to a time when an artist’s clout was earned by his impressive lyrics not his materialistic monies.
Weebz, one half of the group’s feminine duo, projects an image of hard core rap through the eyes of women. Her lyrics project an image of female independence. Not relying on men for support, she tries to convey that message to everyone through her bossy lyrics and sassy swagger. Among her lyrical talent Weebz also provides the group with creative insight on the way to carry themselves. Acting as the group’s designer or publicist she comes up with the eccentric courtesies the group often takes to stand out in the crowd. At the very young age of only eighteen years old, she is sure to blossom into one of today’s promising rap artist.
Rickie Callahan , better known as Voice, acquired the alias mainly because of the way she’s known to belt out the powerful vocals on the groups LP, “On and Popen.” This up-tempo song displays only half of Voice’s impressive talents. Not only is she an able singer, but she is also a brilliant song-writer, proudly flaunting such abilities, also in this budding hit single. Voice has been singing and writing songs for many years. Originally starting out, as the lead vocalist of a childhood singing group, Voice ventured out in search for greener pastures as the group’s lack of success caused a split. Voice, now a member of Small City, has not only been able to display her talents as a singer but also earned her respect as a “gangstress” rapper, annihilating the track “Where u From”, with raw street lyrics about her hometown of Harrisburg, Pa. As a triple threat, singer, rapper, and song-writers, Voice is defiantly a promising artist.
