MISSY G: Gemma Smith aka Missy G was once Wales's only female drum n' bass MC. Now, with the help of a ‘Sound of the City' commission, the DJ, rapper, producer & singer - who also runs New Era Talent CIC, an organisation that mentors local young people in developing music creation skills - is creating a new multi-genre album, and will be launching it at this Cardiff Music City Festival event. Over ten tracks spanning grime, R&B, hip-hop and soft rock, she hopes to tell her own story and "show other people who face barriers, with lived experience & who live in poverty, to never give up." Missy G SoundCloud, Facebook
SKUNKADELIC is the moniker of Tumi Williams, a trailblazing emcee, artist & educator making giant strides in the UK hip hop scene. His erudite lyrics and signature rich baritone can be heard across solo work ‘Musically Drifting’, ‘No Time’ and as collaborator with the likes of The Allergies, Ty, Stagga, Magugu, Mazbou Q, Mr Woodnote and Band Pres Llareggub. He also fronts 9-piece Welsh afro-funk collective Afro Cluster. Skunkadelic’s multi-genre aesthetic is always refreshing, taking inspiration from the cerebral sensibilities of jazz rap (ATCQ, The Roots, Guru, The Pharcyde, De La Soul) and blending it with the invigorating sounds of his ancestral Nigeria (Fela Kuti, Tony Allen) culminating in an authentic voice empowered by generations of diverse music.

BREAK THE CODE is a live act, music label and collective of artists & activists. Break The Code brings together multi-genre MCs, singers, beatboxers, music producers & DJs, with emphasis on MCs with conscious political lyrics and a party vibe aka the 'Rapt-tivists'. They have performed at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Shindig, Small World, Sunrise, Equinox and Shambala, and they have just started their own drum'n'bass label.

MISSY G: Gemma Smith aka Missy G oedd yr unig MC drwm a bas benywaidd yng Nghymru ar un adeg. Nawr, gyda chymorth comisiwn ‘Sound of the City’ mae’r DJ, rapiwr, cynhyrchydd a chanwr - sydd hefyd yn rhedeg Cwmni Buddiant Cymunedol New Era Talent, sefydliad sy’n mentora pobl ifanc leol wrth ddatblygu sgiliau creu cerddoriaeth - yn creu albwm aml-genre newydd, a bydd yn ei lansio yn y digwyddiad Gŵyl Dinas Gerdd Caerdydd. Dros ddeg trac sy’n rhychwantu grime, RnB, hip-hop a roc meddal, mae’n gobeithio adrodd ei stori ei hun a “dangos i bobl eraill sy’n wynebu rhwystrau, gyda phrofiad byw ac sy’n byw mewn tlodi, i beidio byth â rhoi’r gorau iddi’. Missy G SoundCloud, Facebook

Mae hefyd yn arwain cydweithfa 9-darn affro-ffync Cymreig Afro Cluster. Mae estheteg aml-genre Skunkadelic bob amser yn chwa o awyr iach, gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o synhwyreddau ymenyddol rap jazz (ATCQ, The Roots, Guru, The Pharcyde, De La Soul) a’i gymysgu â seiniau bywiog ei hynafiaid yn Nigeria (Fela Kuti, Tony Allen) gan grynhoi mewn llais wirioneddol wedi’i grymuso gan genedlaethau o gerddoriaeth amrywiol.
