Big Bang Records has partnered with N.B.S. to release their debut industry full-Length “2010 : The Prelude” as well as re-release their extensive and impressive back catalog.

E’Flash: Imam Bilal-Firmin p.k.a. E’ Flash a.k.a. The Eloquent Journalist developed a rhyming style that is similar to no other. Flash, a product of the 120 Taurus Buildings in Roxbury, MA always had an ear for music. After moving to Cambridge growing up on Boston legends like Ed-O.G., Guru, and R.S.O., Flash found a permanent home in the rap game. Flash is the feeling you get when a jet flies above you leaving your heart racing a thousand beats per minute. He is the unexpected; in these times if a jet flies over you, you won’t know whether to duck or run and that’s what Flash brings to the game, the unknown. Whether it is a different voice or a new style Flash will never give you too much of one thing. Flash brings a smoother/calmer style to match Vital’s raspy and more energetic flow. The Morris Brown graduate has plans to take NBS to the next level by way of experience, patience, and hot music.

V-Knucks: Rahim Muhammad p.k.a Rah Vital a.k.a. V Knucks a.k.a. The Fierce Analyst has come a long way since his childhood memories of pushing a big wheel in Madison Park Village, a town home complex in Roxbury, MA. In early elementary school he also moved to Cambridge and rapidly developed his own lyrics and raw style at the age 12. With influences such as Kool G. Rap and Nas, Vital’s flow ads raw/witty combination to compliment the more melo-dramatic style and voice of E’Flash. Vital, meaning important or essential sees himself as a vital part of today’s rap game. He has influenced many listeners from D.C., where he attached Howard U, to Japan via mp3.com. To this day he continues to inspire upcoming and established lyricist. Vital is what the industry is missing right now, his rhyme scheme is crazy and if let in the game he could easily be one of the best emcees to ever touch a mic!

"I can break it down like whatever you want"
Buckshot Shorty (2x)

[Verse 1]
All glocks down arriving is the bulletproof lyricist

And make it spiffy are the "L"s twisty oh yes lets get lifty

So all you gun waving niggas put down your glocks please
No need for playing the hard anymore
The bulletproof lyricist is knocking at your door
So open up let me in lets get nasty if you want to
I'll freak dat butt like a filt by Heather Hunter
Touch you touch you I might just buss you
Buss your shit MC turned eastcoast kid
How I swing bounce to brooklyn
No need to tell you what I part took in
Just know Heather B. is back in town
Its no question all glocks down

[Chorus]
Glocks down, hit'em with that funky sound
I can break it down like whatever you want (say 4x)

[Verse 2]
Walking with middle finger up brown tims steppin' through
Coming soon to a corner spot near you
Its the side walkin' rap talkin' hip hop sister
No need to try me misss-ter
You got rhymes go for it we need no chorus
Freestyles comin' from da door
And who's testin' the untestable styles flexible
You gonna haveta bounce twelve rounds
TKO by the third fuck what you heard

'cause you's part-time witha part rhyme committing no crimes
And claiming to be hard on the block
So feel my funk my beat my vibe
Recognize that I'm live or alive you know the time
Kid just raise up rise up open your eyes up
I already got you sized up so wise up BITCH
A "L" to the neck a double duece I'm best
And now my mind set I'll be rowdy through the death
Due us part on love rock crew right here in heart

Turnin' all gats or guns I'll leave you shorty with her hair undone
And then you know Heather B. is back in town
So no question all glocks down

Can't wait until tonight when real niggas turn trife
I love the orange light from the dutch master tip
My whole crew bent a half a hunned gone spit
Chocolate tay true dat yo who him who dat
Snatchin' up da "L" like a snipher

If you ever tryta hog up the "L" again
Last one to put in first son to dig in
Now I hear you riffin' me while I'm countin' your toke
The henloke burns my throat with no jaser
I'm feelin vibes by my hip from the black pager
Blowin' up for da nine four for da nine five
For da nine square either way say word word
Heather B. is in there to the most high
To the most def no quest all glock down

[Chorus]
