The debut album "Save The World pt. 2," bends and twists beats in refreshing new directions. The music and sounds of "Save The World pt.2" not only has the energy of artists such as Floetry and Outkast but also has the new school edgy feel of Kanye West, Baby Bash, and Eminem. This album truly has a soul and life of its own. From raw, hip hop, to jazzy, soulful, melodic tracks Artson truly has something for everyone. With guest appearances by Tash of the Alkaholiks , The legendary Craig G, and Q -Unique formerly of the Arsonist “Save The World pt. 2” delivers an all star universal line up of artists ranging from the East to West Coast.

Craig G is a Queens Bridge native emcee, whose work is probably more recognised to the younger generation of hip-hop than the face behind the music. He has dropped such classics as “Shout” featuring Marley Marl , “The Symphony”, “Droppin Science” , and “Kill It”. However, Craig G is probably best known for the verse that he dropped on “The Symphony” that went “Next up, I believe that's me..” Now his rhymes are more known than ever because he was responsible for writing most of the battle rhymes in the motion picture 8-Mile . Since then Craig has dropped the single “Say What Ya Want”, produced by GZA that was the Lead off single for the D&D Project II, and his newly released Album “This is Now”.

West Coast rapper Tash of the LIKS (Tha Alkaholiks) born Rico Smith in Columbus, OH, is best known for bringing the party to life with hits like "Make Room", "Daaam!" and "Likwit". Tha Liks have influential hip hop artists over the last decade and have been a constant fixture in both the commercial and underground rap scene worldwide. As a protégé of King Tee and Ice T, in 1992 Tash co-founded Tha Alkaholiks. Since then he and THA LIKS have released 5 CDs including “X.O. Experience” featuring Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, Kurupt and The Neptunes, “21 & Over” featuring KING TEE and LOOT PACK; “Coast II Coast” featuring Q-TIP “Likwidation” featuring Nas and OL' DIRTY BASTARD and TASH's solo album “Rap Life” featuring Raekwon and Outkast .
