Since his first recorded verse at the age of 14, Namek, born Joseph Huicochea in West Covina, CA has continued to show an undeniable passion for the art of hip hop. Influenced by west coast vets such as DJ Quik, Tha Dogg Pound, Funkdoobiest & Cypress Hill, while also musically inspired by east coast legends like Redman & Big Pun, versatility on the mic has naturally grown to become a powerful attribute for him. From paying dues in cyphers all around the San Gabriel Valley and LA County in his teens and early 20's, to performing in more established venues, winning numerous rap competitions (Undefeated 3x Power 106 Freestyle Friday champ & Flow and Tell SBRC 4x champ) & collaborating with certain musical influences such as DJ Battlecat, KXNG Crooked (Crooked I), Kokane, Ras Kass, Roscoe (DPG), Abstract Rude (Rhymesayers Ent.) and Percee P (Stones Throw) the evolution of Namek has strongly shown. Now in 2022, Namek links up with manager Hengee Garcia as a new artist on ICE-T's Final Level Music with a new single titled "Priceless", produced by the legendary DJ Battlecat & featuring Nhale (Nate Dogg's son). This is the first single off Namek and DJ Battlecat's "3x3 Project", which is scheduled to drop later this year thru WCK Records/GT Digital/Final Level Music.

El-Jay's high-energy Neo-Soul, R&B and Pop flow music captures the heart and transport audiences back in time as era of classic soul. Entertainment and music have always been present in El-Jay’s life as he began to demonstrate creativity while showing interest in acting, music, and modeling at an early age. Apart from teaching himself how to dance at the tender age of five, El-Jay drew inspiration from Michael Jackson. He began to mimic Michael’s every move and entertained others with his adaptation of this well-known artist. El-Jay was born and being the oldest of three children of multi-platinum artist, Rome, whose big hit was “I Belong to You”, he has a lifetime of musical influence from his father.
During his middle and high school years, El-Jay put music on hold and jumped into playing sports. After his first year of college, he was drawn back to his musical roots and he picked up where he left off with his singing, writing, acting, modeling, and dancing. Given El-Jay's raw talent and true nature, his real potential came to the fore when he had the opportunity to sing on Rome’s independent album “To the Highest” as well as the “People of This World” video. El-Jay was featured in the movie "Never Heard" directed by Josh Webber and his song was on the official soundtrack of the movie. He also appeared in major TV shows, countless commercials, and music videos with over 700 million views including "Swang" by Rae Sremmurd, “F with Your” by KidInk, "Bio Terra Commercial", and "Jay The Cheater". El-Jay landed his first lead movie role in "Babylon" portraying a character named Legend.

Recently, the new single “ I’m That Winner” ft LA Buck is out on all streaming sites. Music video is available now on vevo. Currently 3.2million views. New management is LA BUCK, and partnership labels is Shy Dog Music and Startz Music Group. New project is on the way.
