The 4020 Boyz from
Columbus, Ohio there stage name comes from the address of a common hangout spot
where their music studio was located. The original group was formed in 2007 the
group consisted of four members; TazMatic, Creeper, Will Flow and Mr. Ick but
was cut down to two members due to the lack of commitment from the other group
members. In 2008, Will Flow and Mr. Ick obtained management from a former local
artist Jermaine Mitchell and with his help reintroduced the 4020 Boyz to the
music scene. In 2010 the Ohio Hip Hop Awards nominated the 4020 Boyz for
Best New Group and Best Album (The Book Bag Theory) and 2011 Best Group.
Residing on the east side of Columbus, OH the 4020 Boyz
met each other around 2007 at a job they were both working. After
noticing a common bond of their love for music, Mr. Ick (Albert Munnerlyn) born
on May 4, 1984 in Atlanta, GA and Will Flow (Willie Flowers) born on September
18, 1986 in Dayton, OH began working on their future music career. In college
Willie Flowers started recording and performing songs, but quickly found out
with his first live performance that “rapping” is more than getting on stage,
its entertainment. Mr. Ick had never performed previously but quickly became a
natural on stage. As a group they have found a way to creatively fuse Gangsta Rap and with a Backpack Swag. Some of the artist
that have influenced the 4020 Boyz are Outkast, 8 Ball & MJG, Andre 3000
and also groups such as The Temptations, The Jackson Five and The Dells. The
4020 Boyz believe that with faith and ambition anything is possible, including
them gaing notice in the music industry. Get Ready…Get Busy!
