Justina Valentine – ‘The Real Justina’

Justina Valentine will be a familiar name with regular readers of EP, as we’ve written about her no fewer than four times over the past year and a half. Last year, 2017, was a banner year for Justina.

Justina has also been enlisted to be a part of the new season of MTVs ‘The Challenge: Chamsp vs Stars’, where she’s more than held her own, in some of the most gruelling of competitions.

Cleveland-Based MC Dave Zup Releases Debut Album ‘Oh, It’s Going’

Cleveland hip hop/pop artist Dave Zup started in music from a young age.

He joined a youth theatre, and started developing his love for performance.
