That B-more sound

Bossman

Bossman a.k.a. Travis Davon Holifield

Maryland ties: Native of Northeast B-more; graduated from Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical High School

Musical style: Rap/hip-hop

Musical contribution: Self-proclaimed king of Baltimore rappers—-and at 6'3" 265 pounds who's going to argue with him? A one-time member of the rap group N.E.K. (Northeast Kings), he has since moved on to greener pastures. Under contract with Sony Urban Music, Bossman is scheduled to release his major label debut album, "Law and Order," in the summer of 2008.

Extra notes: Has had an on-again, off-again "feud" with fellow B-more rapper Mullyman
