Ralph Kay Jr. (Picasso) and Gerrad Brooks (Rush) attended the same high school in Virginia. They each come from different walks of life. Picasso, the eldest of 3 children, was part of one of the only African American families in the area that had both parents living in the same household. Although a two parent household might sound normal to many people, Ralph understood that it wasn't at all a normal occurrence. Because of his secure environment, he grew up with a care free, "all is right with the world" attitude. Nothing seemed to concern or worry him much. This fosters his ability to paint beautiful pictures with words. This is his flair.

Gerrad Brooks(Rush) was given a much more difficult set of circumstances. He is the eldest of 4 children who lived with only their mother. His responsibilities, at times, seemed overwhelming in comparison to others his age. His hard knock life bestowed him with a "make it happen now" attitude. Life hasn't always been beneficial for him, but deep, perspective thinking and speaking it real is truly evident in his music.

Lyrical witticism is the forte of the Northern Southerners. Their music makes one listen, and move, get up and groove. People get excited as they admire the artistic content within the lyrics. Regardless of nationality or economic station, this music has something for everyone and will cause you to reflect on the events of the time.

In all, the music of the Northern Southerners appeals to the Millionaire as well as to the Pauper. Once you hear it, you WILL want to hear it again. The true meaning of "Soul;" this is music for THE PEOPLE.
