Performers
NCity
In a world where hip hop is a male dominated art form, Believe and Skyy, known as NCity, are emerging and laying the ground work in order to make a significant impact on the music industry. Defying all odds, the female rap duo is crossing over into pop mainstream, with catchy up tempo hooks and rhymes that leave you wanting more. Both Chrystal Moncur (Skyy) and Margaret Glynatsis (Believe) where born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas and throughout the course of their childhood we're somehow directly or indirectly involved with music. In May of 2004 the two opened up a recording studio and formed their own label known as BIG Productions Music Group. Shortly after that, Believe and Skyy officially merged together to become NCity. Only six months after the release of their first single “Calling You Out” featuring TaDa, NCity has received an enormous amount of success. The single has become popular on local radio stations and a favorite among listeners. Since then, the group has released their second single “Mood Is Right” featuring Sketch, really putting NCity on the map. They have performed in the Caribbean and USA on various platforms. What can we expect from NCity in 2008? Currently the group is adding the finishing touches to their debut album "NCity,” which is scheduled to be released late this summer.
