Their melodic singing coupled with the rap styled catchy hooks along with their LIVE on-stage rap performances made them widely desired at the Seattle hip-hop scene and had them playing on MNC’s, SP1200’s, and turntables.

The High Children Brand contains JJ Hudson, DJ Nasty Nes, GrandMixer GMS, Jayson, Jamal, Robbie Rob & DJ 3rd Degree as members.

The Chief Evangelist, DJ Nasty Nes has been on the Seattle hip-hop scene for 38 years now. He relocated to the US in 1970 where his dreams began to become a reality. Nasty Nes debuted the West Coast’s first ever all rap radio show “Freshtracks” on Seattle’s 1250 KFOX in 1980. Freshtracks was a two hour show that played on Sunday nights on KKFX 1250 (“KFOX”) and consisted of a mix of new songs and a master mix created by Nasty Nes. Nastymix Records, the Northwest’s first hip-hop label, was founded in 1985 with the local release of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Square Dance Rap”. Nasty Nes is the guy who actually discovered Sir Mix-A-Lot. Nastymix Records gained international recognition with Sir Mix-A-Lot’s 1992 #1 hit, “Baby Got Back”(year end Billboard chart #4, though on Def American Records). In 1988, Nes took his rap radio show ‘Rap Attack’ to KCMU and his ‘Hotmix’ show to KUBE 93. Nes moved to South California in 1997 to became the rap editor for HITS magazine and five years later established rapattacklives.com, his own online promotions business. In 2019, DJ Nasty Nes revived his classic radio show, KFOX Nightbeat, featuring songs he originally played on Fresh Tracks and Nightbeat, as well as exclusive new music, and master mixes by GrandMixer GMS. Nes, in his own words said,

“Seeing Grandmaster Flash perform live on the wheels in New York gave me the incentive to be a radio DJ and a mix DJ”

GrandMixer GMS first hit the spotlight as a break-dancer at 11 years old and then in 1986, became the 1st DJ to mix for commercial radio in Spokane at just 14 years of age. GMS won the Inland Northwest Battle of the DJ’s and began mixing with Tobin Costen on Spokane’s then only all rap show in 1993. After these successful accolades, GMS began mixing for Nasty-Nes on Seattle’s KCMU Rap Attack till he retired from music in the mid 90’s.

GMS came out of retirement to reunite with Nasty-Nes for KFOX Nightbeat in 2020. The same year,

GMS became the 1^st DJ from Spokane to mix on “Sway In the Morning” – the world’s #1 Hip-Hop radio show.

GMS’ work consistently ranks in the top 5 on Mixcloud’s Global charts – even hitting #1 on multiple charts. GMS became the DJ/Remixer for Tairrie B, the former Eazy E artist after working on her new album “Feminenergy”. GMS was voted “DJ of the Week” by both The Urban Influencer and Radio Airplay Experts for the month of October 2020. GMS recently launched Global Frequency, a #1 radio mixshow syndicated worldwide on multiple platforms, including WRDR, Esway Radio and Pump It Up Magazine Radio (Los Angeles).
