In order to achieve a unified local music scene, it is imperative that local artists and musicians do their part. And tha hope is that most will be honored to do so.
In 2013, ThaWilsonBlock started it's magazine and tha launch of tha ever-so-formal 'Pasadena Music Scene' in a sincere effort to help recognize local, native, independent artists. The reason a formal music scene has been created in Pasadena, CA is because tha prime news outlets and sources rarely scout for local native talent. So, while tha whole World watches Pasadena on New Years Day or when high profile acts like Jay Z and Eminem hit tha Rose Bowl, it is tha local native artists and musicians who kinda have to bite tha bullet.
This call for unity is to help foster a sense of purpose in tha greater community. Mistah Wilson is acting as tha cornerstone having taken a very special interest in Pasadena music. Today, ThaWilsonBlock has created one of tha essential sources for DENA artists and their respective content. We want our local artists to be formally recognized and acknowledged for who they are and encourage them to be proactive members of tha arts community and society abroad.

This list is meant to show and prove what it takes to truly move as a united local music scene. This is an effort to put a little more pressure back on our local artists as we move towards a formal united music scene. For years, and in countless interviews with native DENA artists, most have said the same things in their own words regarding Pasadena, CA's Hip Hop heritage; where it's been, where it is now, and where it's going. It is now time to take action. If your name is listed below under the Pasadena/Altadena artists who are NOT in our network, we strongly encourage you to reach out to us so that we may formally recognize you as the artist you are. Because we cannot truly have a unified scene unless we are all acknowledged by each other.
For tha record, tha artists from Pasadena/Altadena listed here only reflects a significant portion. There are tons more artists from tha region that we are yet to meet and greet. If you are an artist or musician from Pasadena / Altadena and would like to be recognized by your local music scene, reach out to us via Email or Call (626)817-6978. We look forward to hearing from you!
