(That One Kid) Zi is an incredibly talented young musician/rapper and the creator of SuperUltraMega who loves and lives to inspire, entertain, and succeed... Born on the east coast in Jersey City, New Jersey, but raised in the mid-west, Zi is a representer of the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Using youth as a fundamental fuel for the drive of his music, Zi's childlike nature sometimes comes across as immature, irresponsible, and even annoying. Nevertheless, his personal brand of hip-hop, skill level, and delivery are never eclipsed by his "Peter Pan syndrome". Zi refuses to be a one-dimensional artist and focuses on reaching audiences of all creeds, colors, and ages and for this reason he makes sure that his "verses show versatility". That One Kid's style is susceptible to spontaneous change, but that is what his fans enjoy most about him. When asked who he is and what he stands for Zi laughed his hearty laugh with a light in his eye and after smiling to himself and staring into space for a moment he answered with this: "I'ma day dreamin', skirt chasin', slow sippin', heart breakin', fast livin', star gazin' man-child who sincerely wants to live forever. And you are?"

Styxx (A.K.A Icky) is co-founder of SuperUltraMega and Zi's extremely gifted producer/sound engineer who will skillfully step to a mic without hesitation... Styxx was born and raised in the Twin Cities of Minnesota and puts on for his home cities with impressive intensity. Styxx has been in and out of the TC underground music scene for close to a decade, appearing first with the rap group "Holla Early". After a few years of tenacious work the team disbanneded for unknown reasons, leaving the young Styxx and another member of Holla Early to pick up the pieces and begin anew. The youngest and most talented two members of the dead group, Styxx and Duke the Hero, decided to create their own dynamic duo: The HitKrafterZ. However the two lost touch and the duo fell apart. Now back in action, Styxx has been goin' in with incredible work ethic, producing both Zi's and his own mixtape at the same damn time. Styxx's style is unusual. His effortless wit bleeds through his songs and his raw talent for riding a beat is refreshing to listeners. Styxx's major influences are Kanye and HOV. When asked how he approaches a new project and how difficult producing, engineering, and rapping is he just smirked as he sat back in his chair and said, "For me it's not a matter of difficulty. As an artist, I don't believe in anything other than 110%. I just put all of myself into my work. Whether it be writing, mixing, or making a beat makes no difference to me..... I'm sorry, but what time did you say this interview will be over again? I'm trynah get home so I can play MW3..."

Israel Flores is the creator/founder of Film&Love and Zi's childhood friend as well as SuperUltraMega's official videographer and graphics editor. Israel was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, but raised in Hoboken, New Jersey and definitely knows what it's like to struggle. Israel loves to act and film and spends as much time as possible practicing and doing both. Izzy is a very hard worker when it comes to a project or just doing something that involves making him and others happy. Although Zi moved away when the two were young teens, the both of them stayed in contact and slowly but surly drifted into two ambitious and competitive fields. Music and film. It's amazing how well the two work together. It can even be seen in their names! Iz and Zi blend their art together beautifully. Israel's editing skills are crazy, well thought, and unique as he tends to do things differently. Our questions for Izzy were... Why film? Why did you choose it, or did it choose you? Why do you do what you do? His answer was this: "We all reach that day that we just gotta go for it, y'know? I need to be remembered. My he'art' needs to be remembered. Film is a way for friends, family, sons, daughters, fans, and people to see who I was, who I am, and what type of people I hung out with. My story is a common story with a lot of twists and turns. I want to be the perfect story teller. Also, I want to leave a mark. A perfect piece to build on.
