Kid Jungle

Founder / Executive Producer

Born in Vientiane, Laos Kid Jungle arrived in the United States in the early 80s post Vietnam War. Trying to assimilate to US culture he found his place through Hip Hop. Coming up as a bboy,he was able to use the dance as a way to express himself while finding his strengths and weaknesses.

As an independent artist he learned how to teach class, be a public speaker, create deadlines and goals, learned to negotiate, how to network, and find gigs online. This has caused him to go back to school to get his bachelor’s in sales and marketing and eventually land a career in sales.

He’s competed throughout the U.S. worked with many artists, and in 2010 and 2011 he directed his first production in Shanghai, China and at the Pritzker Pavilion downtown Chicago. He has also semi-managed a few artists to help them find opportunities as dancers.

Kid Jungle’s entrepreneurial spirit has lead him to launch his own brands such as the Battle of the Breaking Dojos which is a competition league for younger breakers and their schools and the Power Style Radio Show which is an online radio show that speaks about Hip Hop culture. His goal has always been to find sustainability through his talents and find opportunities for those that are in his network. His affiliations include Phaze II Crosstown Crew, Renegades of Funk, and Chi Rock Nation.

Ang 13

Host

Angela “Ang13 (13)” Zone is a veteran in Hip-Hop. From the age of 13, when it all started for her, she has gone from break-dancer, to graffiti writer, to emcee / producer. 13 also knows her way around a pair of technique turntables so there is no aspect of Hip- Hop that she does not know. Music is her forte and where she reigns supreme. Over the years, she has received her training in the culture through practice and execution. 13 still keeps her hand in every aspect of Hip-Hop, but music is the area in which she is most creative.

She’s received accolades in magazines such as “The Source” being named one of the undergrounds “best kept secretes” and countless write-ups in The Chicago Tribune, (“Reigning Women in Hip- Hop”, M. McCormick) “Midwest Rap Gap” Upski Wimsap, “Hip Hop for Hunger”, D. Jakubiak), The Chicago Sun-Times, Caught in the Middle Magazine, Humble Quest, Route 2K, The Chicago Defender, The Reader, and Chi-Rock Magazine. She is one of the most respected icons in Mid West Hip Hop, dubbed a legend. Her music has graced such project as, The 2000 Census, Nike Mix CD, Sprite Mix Tape, Chicago Rocks, The 50 Man Cipher(Rec Center), Chicago vs. New York along with her own solo EP “Phat as Yo’ Mama” which sold out in one month with no promotion. Currently, 13’s music is featured on the Jurassic 5 “Power in Numbers” DVD (Interscope), and her single “Oh No” is featured on Chali2na’s (J5) “Fish Market Mix CD” . She is Columbia College, Women and Gender fellowship recipient for the Wonda Woman Project Zero Tolerance Tour which took on the challenge to reconstruct the negative image of all women in the hip hop culture. She was sent by the United States Government to Cote D’ivoire, Africa with the Chicago Hip Hop Initiative to teach how the hip-hop culture is used for peace and tolerance as part of the Cultural Envoy Program.

13 takes the direct approach in her lyrical subject matter. Growing up in the streets of Chicago, she has been able to speak the language of the streets with the intelligence of a scholar. Some of her early influences were MC’s such as KRS one, Nas, Master Ace, Latifah, Rakim, and Lauren Hill. Studying these masterminds has given 13 the ability to speak to the masses. She has an East-Coast tough, innovative style though the West-Coast and overseas consumed majority of her solo EP. She nothing like the “average female mc” reciting rhymes about money. Her lyrical content is more intelligent and up lifting without being preachy, with an edge. 13’s play on words is so clever that she is able to reach consumers from the streets to Wall Street. She is considered to be one of the illest elements in the game for More Information contact:
