The Vets

Raised in the tough Olney neighborhood of Northern Philadelphia, the trio of Ike Ease, Juice Boxx and Chris Bars (collectively known as "The Vets") cites various Hip-Hop influences from super-groups like Roc-A-Fella, Young Money, and the Ruff Ryders to solo artists such as Nas, Rick Ross, and TI. The Vets recently released the "3 Kings" mixtape, hosted by international DJ Don Cannon. Their music can be described as a hybrid sound from Philadelphia, along with Southern characteristics. As with any artist, The Vets add their own unique spin to their music. “We don’t have a format,” says Juice Boxx, “we just capture how we feel at the time.” The group acknowledges their environment as lyrical inspiration. Their art contains a legitimate message while remaining appropriate for the ears of club-goers. In addition to music, the group owns a popular clothing line in Philadelphia, aptly named, "The Vets". The Vets are currently working on a yet-to-be titled mixtape. The big picture for these three includes fashion, film, and music. The ultimate goal is to become not only successful moguls, but legendary.
