What'z in a Name?

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together* for the Hitmakerz!



Not just another rap group entering the scene. The talents of the HITMAKERZ are a genuine lineup of skillfully blending elements of distinctive rap melodies, fiery R&B riffs and a versatile sound that's already stirring the fans in Boston, Massachusetts.


Cue radio promo spot:

"Hi, we're the Hitmakerz and you're listening to HOT 97.7 FM. When we're not busy 'stirring the fans' with our 'fiery R&B riffs', we're firing handguns indiscriminately into crowds outside of nightclubs throughout eastern Massachusetts."

Word.

LAWRENCE, Mass. -- A member of a local rap group is charged in the shooting that left a high school basketball star paralyzed from the chest down.

Ramos, 26, of Haverhill, is a member of the rap group Hitmakerz.


I assume the Haverhill Police Department will now be taking swift action to revoke these budding young artists' unrestricted Class "A" Licenses to Carry firearms.[/sarcasm]

*unless, of course, you're now paralyzed after having been shot in the neck by one of our violent talented local thugs musicians.
