The Suppliers

The Suppliers are an enterprising duo redefining the music game. Instead of limiting themselves to one style or genre, The Suppliers creatively represent their surroundings by combining the musical characteristics of pop, alternative, hip-hop, and techno. Randell “Mr. Lock” Beamon and Clifton “CarRi Pumps” Thomas were born in the South and West sides of Chicago. Their families chose to raise them in the suburbs to avoid gang and drug violence. As a result, they met as young men during their freshman year of high school in Villa Park, an Illinois suburb near Chicago. The Suppliers’ inspiration stems from each other and other musicians like Pharell, Gorilla Zoe, The Clipse, Wiz Khalifa, Justin Timberlake, Young Jeezy, T.i , Ice Cube, and Jay-Z. The Suppliers strives to inspire hope in those who have yet to find themselves. Additionally, they serve as role models for those who are willing to work hard and take the initiative to accomplish their dreams. The Suppliers have made a lasting impression on the music industry as Unsigned/ Independent Artists with the release of their first mix tape on 4/20/2010, Entitled: SHITM (Simply History In The Making) The First Shipment -Hosted By: Dj Ill Will, Dj Rockstar (Of www.hotnewhiphop.com), and Chicago's own Dj Moondawg (Of 107.5 WGCI ).
