71 North
71 North is one of the most unique and promising groups to emerge in the rap/dance scene in many years. They bring to the table a radio- and club-friendly sound with broad appeal. Big Mucci got his start in music at the Cleveland School of the Arts, much like members of Men at Lage, Just One of the Girls, and Avant. He began performing in a southern bass group called Head and the Triple X Boys, who were signed to Repo Records/Black Market Records. Then he performed as a hype man for the Compton and Long Beach duo Duece Duece from Delicious Vinyl. The high point for Big Mucci was performing on the late Notorious B.I.G. tour. After Big Mucci returned from a stint in the United States Marine Corps, he took his previous experience in the industry and combined the musical influences he acquired from his exposure from all over the country and formed 71 North, which consists of Mucci, Butta, Hott Rod, and Juice. 71 North has made special appearances and performed all over this region. They have also performed with many mainstream artists such as Jadakiss, Cam’ron, Usher, Nas, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Ying Yang Twins, and more. - From 71northboyz.com
