MYZERY

First and foremost, I’d like to introduce Myzery. For those of you that is uninformed, Myzery is a true OG from the hatchet family. His debut Para La Isla was the first solo album to be released on Psychopathic Records that wasn’t ICP, back in the late ‘90s. After a string of releases, bootlegs, EPs, and other underground albums, he reemerged onto the scene a few years ago, with the intent of releasing Demon/Angel, a highly anticipated album that is sure to put Myzery back in the spotlight. In the meantime, he has released his first free mixtape titled Heaven or Hell, and has started his own label named Poor Manz Entertainment, which consists of a talented roster of artists that I will be interviewing as well.

Xanarki: Myzery, thank you for finding the time to do this interview. I’m Xanarki from Faygoluvers, and we’ve waited a long time to do this. I have a lot of questions regarding the state of your career, and a few questions reflecting upon the past. To start things off, your newest album Demon/Angel was officially announced back in October of 2010. That was 4 years ago. With that being said, has there been a rough estimate of when the album is to be finally released?

Myzery: My pleasure. You know I always have love for Faygoluvers. Well, a few labels wanted to pick up the album, including Psychopathic Records. The deal with Psychopathic never fell through, but it’s all good though cause they hooked me up major with studio time and a whole grip of features from ICP. I got to kick it with some of my oldest homies and linked up with some talents I never met before. But yeah, I’ll be releasing Demon/Angel this January under Poor Manz Entertainment.

Xan: The newest update regarding your album was a snippet of the track “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” which features T.O.N.E-z and the Duke himself, Violent J. A lot of people have always wondered what your music would sound like if, once again, you were associated with Psychopathic. Personally, how did it feel to be in the booth alongside Violent J, and can you explain the overall vibes?

Myz: The vibe is always good when I work with J in the Lotus Pod. That track right there might be one of the best verses he’s ever spit. J is one of the most misunderstood minds ever. His mind for the business is untouchable. Always an honor when J jumps on the track. Yeah, T.O.N.E-z was supposed to be on the track, he recorded his verse and everything, but there again shit ain’t work out so it’s just me and Violent J on the track.

Xan: In that same update, it was mentioned that Demon/Angel will feature many artists, including Violent J, Freddie Foxx, No Hope, Ill.E.Gal, Kuma, and Mike E. Clark. Besides those people, and besides other PME artists, do you have any other surprise features for the album, or is this list finalized?

Myz: Well, I’m always writing and recording whether they come out or not. This album is a little different with the features this time. I had my boy Hodge brainstorm a list of artists with me. He keeps his ear to the underground and puts me onto a lot of rappers. We’ve been reaching out to a lot more people with this album. I wanna blend my style with different styles to give it that diversified sound. This music business is what I love to do, so I will always do it…the plan is to get likeminded artists on board and kill it with me. So, with that being said, no list is finalized till it’s pressed n done.

Xan: The concept of Demon/Angel is drastically different than any other release you’ve put out. What exactly motivated you to create this concept in the first place?

Myz: I call it that cuz everybody has 2 sides. Good/bad, happy/angry, content/unsatisfied, and on and on. So Demon/Angel is basically the 2 sides of the human emotion. You can expect more range than with my past works. I’ve got a lot more I have to express and explain now.

Xan: Regarding your label Poor Manz Entertainment, over the past few years it has expanded to include a plethora of new artists. There is a lot of potential in this roster. Can you explain the origins of PME and how it evolved into what it is now?

Myz: PME just represents the have-nots, the artists I like to work with, the people that’s been through some shit in life…and really have something to say. The opposite of that recycled bullshit mimicking what’s hot or following trends. PME is my fam from east to west, some stragglers, some blood relatives, but all aspiring for something more.

Xan: I wanted to touch upon the past a little bit. The new Dark Lotus album The Mud, Water, Air, and Blood got released at this year’s Gathering; however, what many people don’t know, is that you were a founding member of Dark Lotus in the late ‘90s. This was before ABK, Marz, and even Blaze came into the fold. Besides the initial collaborative track “Meat Cleaver”, are there any other tracks that you recorded under the Lotus name? If so, do you think they will see the light of day in one form or another? I feel like that was a very crucial period in Psychopathic’s history, and it’s a shame that nothing ever emerged.

Myz: No, I never did a Dark Lotus track. I can barely remember some discussions about me being in the fold, but I was in n out at that point, so nothing ever developed. I think people still get it confused sometimes. That was my homie Marz, yeah with the Z.

Xan: I noticed that throughout the years, and even recently with the song “Pop That”, the Rydas ego Twin Gatz seems to make occasional comebacks. Without revealing anything, could we ever expect a return to the Psychopathic Rydas, or is that completely out of the cards?

Myz: I would love to. Twin Gatz just comes outta the dark occasionally when people need to feel the presence of my gangsta side, and it’s never outta the cards.

Xan: One of Poor Manz Entertainment’s newest projects is the Forgotten Breed mixtape, which is to feature the entire roster. Could you elaborate a little bit on this release, and how close is it to being done?

Myz: It’s done besides having to mix it down proper. It’s ready to go. I love the tracks on that mixtape and hope listeners feel it too.

Xan: You’ve worked with many artists throughout your career. With that in mind, is there anyone specific that you would like to revisit and collaborate with again?

Myz: Probably Twiztid if any. I see they’ve grown as artists and I can appreciate the grind. I’d be curious to see what we could do in the booth again.

Xan: To follow up on that last question, is there anyone specific that you have not worked with yet, but would want to?

Myz: Well, the team is currently working with a list of artists, some names we’ve leaked, some I wanna keep under wraps till the tracks get finished. That’s a hard lesson learned right there. Some artists were all about it, than shook us after we already hyped the collabs. Anyways, as far as my all-star wish list goes, it goes: Eminem, DMX, Tech N9ne, Nas, Hopsin…well, those are the ones that’s still alive.

Xan: A few months ago, it was announced that you were booking a tour with T.O.N.E-z for September. Since no further information was released, I assumed that the plans fell through; however, do you have any other live shows lined up for the remainder of this year?

Myz: Well, that fell through due to some inside sketchy shit, so me n T.O.N.E-z wasn’t fucking with it. I’m open to accepting light bookings, but my mind is in the booth and getting Demon/Angel delivered…finally.

Xan: You’ve got a lot on your plate and a very bright future in the musical game, but so far, what would you say is your number one favorite moment in your career?

Myz: That moment is yet to come. I feel that this game is made for me, and I’m designed for it…I just need one more real chance to prove it’s all been building to something…better.

Xan: You did a song and a video for “Biggie, Pac, and Pun” off of your Heaven or Hell mixtape. How exactly did these 3 legends influence you, and how did you come up with the idea of making a track dedicated to them?

Myz: There was a point where all I listened to was them and two others that’s still alive. They are legends and they left too soon. I was showing my respect…music hasn’t been the same, with only a few glimpses of hope here n there.

Xan: I wanted to thank you again for doing this interview with us. I’m hoping that sometime in the near future, we can meet up and kick it, and possibly do an in person interview. Are there any final words that you’d like to say before we close this out?

Myz: I always appreciate the opportunity to speak with my Faygoluvers fam. Thanks for aiming some spotlight on my whole PME Crew, and especially for letting me speak on my best work yet, the Demon/Angel album. You’ll soon see what I mean. It’s done, well, except for a few 11th hour collabs we’re putting together right now. The first single is “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” and I’m thinking it’s J‘s best verse in years. It’s up on iTunes (and Amazon) now, so take a listen. If you’re reading this, thanks for the interest…and for your patience all these years.

FUEGO FLAMEZ

Next up on the list is Fuego Flamez, aka the Eskeleto Man. He is Myzery’s hype man, and has been seen on stages such as Hallowicked, The Gathering, and many more. His free mixtape Hell n Back is Poor Manz Entertainment’s second release, and gave the public an opportunity to hear his skills. He plans on releasing his newest full length album Farewell…For Now in December for free. A more in depth interview will be done with Flamez as the release becomes closer.

Xanarki: I’ve got Fuego Flamez with me. Flamez, it’s always good to hear from you. I’ve got a wide array of questions for you. Firstly, your new album Farewell…For Now is scheduled to be released on December 12th. How long did it take to create this concept, and to record and finish the whole thing?

Fuego Flamez: The whole thing took about 3 months from the concept till it was mixed down proper. It took longer than expected cause I really started to get into it and decided that I had too many song ideas floating around to stop at an EP. So I just kept it moving and you’ll be getting a full LP (for free) on December 12th instead.

Xan: As previously stated, the album title Farewell…For Now might be a bit misleading. It’s not signifying you leaving the rap game; however, it is signifying you leaving the former life style behind. Was it difficult to address this concept, and are you proud to finally be able to make these bold statements?

Flamez: Nah, not too difficult. Everybody that knows me knows that I ain’t shy about whatever’s on my mind. So putting this concept to a beat was no big thing for me. Through recording it though, I do feel like I truly found myself, and got so much sorted out in my hectic mind. This album is definitely my proudest effort yet.

Xan: If you had the chance to go back in time and tell your former self one thing, what would it be?

Flamez: To do right. Just do right ya know. I’ve messed up more times than I can stand. Just the result of some bad choices born through some ugly tragedy. So yeah, “Do right” is what I wish I did.

Xan: Although there isn’t a track list revealed yet, are there any songs that stand out to you personally?

Cover of the Flamez single “Ms. Suicide”, credit: PME.

Flamez: Yeah, “Ms. Suicide”, “Broken Promises” featuring some deep words by Myz, and a tribute to my deceased parents titled “Wish Heaven Had a Phone”. I talked to Axe Murder Boyz about remixing that “No Trust” track and they were cool with it. Myz was originally slated for that one, his track is sick as fuck, but he missed the deadline I think. Anyways, mad props to them. You just might see that remix on the album also.

Xan: Should we be on the look out for any new videos for this album?

Flamez: Yeah, I’m planning about 3 or 4. Hopefully the cops don’t interrupt the shoot like last time.

Xan: As of recent, what music have you been listening to, and what have been your biggest influences throughout this past year?

Flamez: First, my biggest influence is Myzery. His flow is legendary to me. He’s truly born to make music. Anyways, I also bump 50 Cent, Eminem, Joe Budden, J. Cole, Jadakiss, and too many more to mention really.

Xan: Obviously you’re going to be featured on Poor Manz Entertainment’s big mixtape, Forgotten Breed. Can you tell us what to expect from you personally on this mixtape?

Flamez: My dark days. Me at my worst. Just ruthless shit.

Xan: You’re one of Myzery’s hype men during his live sets. You’ve performed at Hallowicked, The Gatherings, and opening up for many other shows. Out of all of these, which show specifically was your favorite, and why?

Flamez: Tough call, but I’d say the Riddlebox Weekend show. It was just so live. The reaction was crazy. Not to mention the homecoming type feeling that the audience brought. These people grew up on Myz, and it was obvious that they never gave up on that man. The room was just surging with energy.

Xan: How did you originally link up with the Spanish Side and become a part of the team?

Flamez: I was born Spanish Side, lol. Myzery is my brother and my father figure. The rest of the crew is as close as family, so I was in before I even knew it.

Xan: How did you come up with the name Fuego Flamez?

Flamez: One day we were at the studio and everybody said I spit that fire. So I just ran with it and later added Fuego to separate myself from the million other rappers named Flamez out there.

Xan: Besides being in the booth, what are some other hobbies you enjoy doing to pass the time?

Flamez: To be honest, it’s all about the music with me. If I’m not writing, I’m studying the greats.

Xan: Before we wrap this up, I wanted to thank you for answering these questions, and for overall being a big help throughout the course of this year. Farewell…For Now will have a December release date, and here on Faygoluvers, we’re going to keep everybody informed of the release. Also be on the look out for a more in depth interview, as I have a lot more personal questions, and will be able to touch upon the new album. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Flamez: Just a huge thank you to all my supportive homies from the Bronx, and especially to the Los & Lette’s out there for always being so down and open minded at every spot of this music mission. Hip hop crowds can be, well, tough. And not always for any real reason, besides just trying to stifle a rapper. Juggalos don’t do business like that, they always curious to hear what’s good…and support you if you earn it. That’s real right there. Mad love to them.

PONCHO

Being one of the most influential people within Poor Manz Entertainment, Poncho is the face of many responsibilities. Ranging from producer, to hype man, to management, to being a simple mental sidekick, Poncho is a crucial part in the PME team. Although he has never released any solo material, his influence is just as solid as any other member of PME. Not only is Poncho the owner and founder of a successful small business, he is very proud to be a huge contributor to the newly released (and already critically acclaimed) book titled Bronx Boys, which celebrates the rich history of the Bronx, via striking photography.

Xanarki: First off, you’ve been associated with Myzery for many years now. How exactly did the 2 of you first meet, and roughly do you know what year it was?

Poncho: We met through his sister Nancy. I can’t remember the exact year, but I know it was the late 80s. There would usually be a big group of us chillin’ on the block, but gradually me n Myz just gravitated towards each other, mostly through our passion for music and plans to take it somewhere.

Xan: Your duties include producing tracks, being on stage alongside Myzery, releasing updates, overall managing, and more. Out of all the things that you accomplish, which is your personal favorite to do, and why?

Poncho: That is a no brainer, being on stage no doubt. The pressure, the rush, the high from rocking a crowd is like no other feeling in the world! I can’t even think of something to compare it to. Not to mention, on stage is where I can witness my boy transform into a straight up beast on the mic. I mean, we’ve been down since forever, but I still can’t help but be impressed by how he kills it on stage. I’m just lucky to be right there…cause that shit is like watching a master at work.

Xan: As most people realize, you’re one of Myzery’s long time hype men; however, you’ve never released any solo material, and to my knowledge, have never laid a verse down on a track. Do you plan to give it a shot in the future?

Poncho: HA! Me and Jumpsteady were on the song “Meat Cleaver”. Violent J heard both our verses and yanked them right out, and that’s all you need to know. I leave rap to real rappers. I respect the game too much to put my two cents in it. Plus, I know I can contribute more effectively from other areas.

Xan: Back in the late ‘90s, you and Myzery were a part of the House of Horrors tour. This was the team’s first major national tour, and a very important period in the career. Can you give some light on your personal experience on the tour, and what were some memorable moments?

Poncho: Wow, the first thing that comes to mind is that it was so much fun. That European tour was something I will never EVER forget, but more important was the business knowledge I got from Violent J. Just watching his magic with all kind of artists, executives, and fans…it was really priceless. His drive was just motivating. In entertainment, you sometimes meet or see people that have that certain star-power just straight built into them. Like no matter what the odds are, that type of person will always be making moves and striving, despite hurdles or whatever. That was and still is Violent J all the way. One of the moments that I remember vividly was the Spain show. We rocked that harder than any other show we ever rocked. The crowd gave Myz and me a reaction as if we were world famous or something. Also, and there’s no rhyme or reason to it, but I remember Violent J waking us up every morning with this loud annoying intercom on the bus. I still remember the words, “Wake yo punk ass up, for the nine trey double duce!” I can hear it in my mind still, just like it was yesterday, ha.

Xan: Are you involved with the PME mixtape Forgotten Breed at all?

Poncho: I’m involved with everything Myzery. Anything that has to do with Myzery, I’m always in the background. This Myzery mission is forever in my blood. I started something way back when with this man, and I’m here for the long haul.

Xan: As I mentioned, it’s been a long time since you’ve gotten the chance to speak your mind, and I appreciate you allowing us to be the ones to interview you after all this time. With that being said, is there anything else on your mind that you’d like to say?

Poncho: Yeah, thanks one million percent to all the Myzery fans who continue to support anything we put out or the shows we’re on. To the Insane Clown Posse, they took some nameless faceless homies, and let us be a small part of this historical musical movement. Like em or hate em, they started a genre, a start that I got to witness from the ground level. Cause of those guys, I still get support from to this day, from complete strangers and that’s just mind blowing. I never woulda seen that coming. To the whole Juggalo world, it’s been a hellava ride so far. But this ride isn’t over…cause Myzery‘s best work is yet to come out.

GORDO

A very dedicated member of the Poor Manz Entertainment team, Gordo is a mainstay without a doubt. He was heard throughout Myzery’s entire Heaven or Hell mixtape, the free version. In addition, he has been featured on multiple songs throughout the past few years as well.

Xanarki: I would like to introduce Gordo, an artist currently with Poor Manz Entertainment. It’s appreciated that you’re doing this interview for us. I’ll get straight to the point with my first question. Do you have any plans to release a solo project in the near future? You’re featured on many songs, but no solo material has yet to emerge.

Gordo: Yeah I’m working on my first mixtape now titled Da Vent. Coming soon!

Xan: When Myzery’s Heaven or Hell mixtape came out, you were the voice that everybody recognized throughout the whole thing. Can you describe the experience of the creation of that specific mixtape?

Gordo: I had a lot of fun doing that guest host role. Myzery just bought me in there and said bug out, have fun, and host my shit…and that’s just what I did.

Xan: Since you’ve yet to release any material, not much is known about you. Can you give us a little bit of background on where you grew up?

Gordo: Born in the Bronx, raised in Brooklyn. Now I’m out in Detroit at the moment. My background is the typical hood shit…trouble around every corner.

Xan: Who are some of your all time favorite musical artists?

Gordo: There’s so many. Tupac, Big Pun, Myzery, 50 Cent, Jadakiss, Tech N9ne, Kottonmouth Kings (love that raw energy shit), G-Unit. I can go on and on. I love hip hop and music in general.

Xan: Do you remember what the first song was that you were featured on, and even though it was your first time in the booth, were you immediately satisfied with the results?

Gordo: No I wasn’t satisfied, but I was a work in progress. It was called “I’m Getting Mad”. It was from when me and Ralphie Mundo, we had a group called Toon Squad.

Xan: Is there anyone personally that you’d like to work with in the future?

Gordo: Yeah all kinds of acts in the underground. I’ve been with Myz to the Gathering a time or two, and after hearing these artists, you can’t help but be amazed at what’s going on out there. So much untapped talent, I’m definitely open to working more with the underground circuit.

Xan: I’ve asked everyone else about the Forgotten Breed mixtape. Are you going to be hosting the mixtape like what you did with Heaven or Hell, or just purely sticking to the verses, or both?

Gordo: I’m jumping on some verses and also a couple of hooks. Never thought about the hosting part…but that’s not a bad idea.

Xan: That should be everything for now. Thanks Gordo, and I’m sure we’ll talk again. Got any shoutouts or final statements?

Gordo: Yeah PME/Spanish Side for life, let’s get it. To Myz, I owe you for that helpful shove I need. To Rob & Nancy, I’m forever indebted and I aim to make you proud. Also, big thanks yous to those that have lent a hand throughout this dream of mine, Young Wicked, and of course my partner in rhyme Fuego Flamez. If you’ve ever seen us, you know we’re always at each other throats, but you’re my brother for real!

RALPHIE MUNDO

Although not much is known about Ralphie Mundo, he should not be overlooked. Another staple of Poor Manz Entertainment, Mundo is ready to release his first album, titled Captain Hook. In addition, he has been featured on various songs alongside other members of the PME roster.

Xanarki: Returning to interview another Poor Manz Entertainment artist, Ralphie Mundo is ready to reveal some answers. Thanks for taking the time to do this. The first question is to get to know your background. Can you tell us how you started out rapping, and what made you hop on board with PME?

Mundo in the studio, credit: PME.

Mundo in the studio, credit: PME.

Ralphie Mundo: Rapping is just the thing to do where I’m from in Brooklyn NY. Also my Pops been a big influence, as he also dabbles in music. PME is our family. I linked up with Myzery, Fuego Flamez, and everybody through my relationship with Gordo, who I met way back in Brooklyn.

Xan: Your debut album titled Captain Hook was announced a few months ago. Do you have a planned release date yet?

Mundo: No release date yet, but the mixtape is almost done. It’s got all the beats, and all the hooks are laid out. I’m just waiting on a few verses from the squad and I should wrap that shit up ASAP.

Xan: Are you able to announce any featured performers on the album?

Mundo: Yeah my Pops, Myzery, Fuego Flamez, Gordo, No Hope (GOTJ 2012 Emcee Contest Winner), and the rest of the squad.

Xan: We talked a few months ago, and I was told that not only is your new album titled Captain Hook, but that’s also a nickname given to you. Can you elaborate on the origins of that name?

Mundo: That’s just cause I’m always coming up with hooks for the crew. If anybody is missing a hook, I jump in there lay it down, usually cause my voice fits better. Other artist try and lay a hook and the team be “Nahh Mundo will sound better” so I’m like the go-to guy for hooks.

Xan: When you were younger, what were your biggest musical influences?

Mundo: All music really. I listen to it all. Music is life.

Xan: You’ve been featured on a variety of songs, but I’ve heard you spit on the Fuego Flamez song “Wicked Shit” from his mixtape Hell n Back. Lyrically, do you plan on entering the horrorcore style more often?

Mundo: Yeah I wanna dabble in everything. I love the horrorcore, especially since my life has been its own horror story…that I really live.

Xan: Besides releasing the album Captain Hook, do you have any other solid goals that you want to accomplish in the musical world?

Mundo: Of course. Producing, ghost writing, engineering…everything music. I pick shit up fast.

Xan: What is the biggest obstacle that you have to overcome during this point of your career?

Mundo: Just staying alive, no joke.

Xan: Are you also going to be featured on the Forgotten Breed mixtape, and if so, to what extent?

Mundo: Yeah, I’m all over Forgotten Breed. I got a couple of tracks on Myzery’s Demon/Angel album. I’m featured on the Fuego Flamez “Ms. Suicidal” song on the hook and got a lot more coming.

Xan: It was good talking to you again, Mundo. As previously mentioned, Captain Hook is going to be the debut album, and I’m looking forward to it. Can you finish this off with some parting words?

Mundo: Stay tuned for the most underrated squad in rap, them “left for dead” PME Spanish Side 4 life members! Thanks for this interview homie, greatly appreciated!

TRE FLOWZ

Tre Flowz is an artist currently associated with the Poor Manz Entertainment roster, but has his own squad named Team AHWU. Although he is Myzery’s younger brother, he aims to make a name for himself without stating that fact. He has released a string of songs, videos, and mixtapes throughout the years.

Xanarki: Coming towards the end, I’ve got Tre Flowz next up. I’m sure you’d like to say some things, so I’ve got a few questions for you. Firstly, it’s been awhile since you’ve released any material, or been featured on any songs. One of the upcoming Poor Manz Entertainment releases is the Forgotten Breed mixtape. Do you plan to make a comeback on that release?

Tre Flowz: It’s been awhile since I been featured on any Poor Manz/Spanish Side projects. I got into some legal trouble and landed a light sentence in prison, but I’ve always been a solo artist, dropping more recent tracks on my own, which you can find on Youtube and Soundcloud.

Xan: Have people tried to compare you to your brother Myzery, and does it create personal obstacles?

Tre: I just want to set the record straight…yes Myzery is my family, but he’s my older/wiser brother. We got the same father but different mothers. But yeah, I’ve been compared to him a lot thru my years doing music, but we have two different styles. He’s got a more seasoned type of style to him, that timeless shit that makes you stop skipping tracks when you hear his flow. Me though, I’d like to say I’m more “new age”, faster flow type of artist. And I wouldn’t say it’s caused any obstacles. I personally call it more motivation! The more he reaches higher goals, the more I want the same thing for not only him, but myself also. When I felt like calling it quits for certain situations I had going on, his grind sparked more of a drive for me to push forward. So some or a lot may call it obstacles, but to me, it’s pure motivation.

Xan: Your latest mixtape, to my knowledge, is That Raw Emcee. Looking back on that release, what would you want to improve on from that point onwards?

Tre: Yeah you’re right..that was my latest release. It was actually supposed to be an album I had in the works for years, but like I said before ended up in a situation where I had to be in prison for awhile. That pushed that project back, back far. So a lot of the songs on that project were songs I had in the stash for possible album tracks. A lot of them were songs I was just gonna release as more of a “teaser” type tracks for the project. Once I came out I picked a couple I felt were still relevant to things I still had going on, or things people could still relate to, or had any type of “hype” feeling to me period. A couple were new tracks I recorded being fresh out. Being that I didn’t release anything, clearly, with being away I felt only right way to release the project was as a free download, to show the people I was back…this time to stay. I got an album that was actually just released 10/31/14, yup Devil’s Night. That is by far my best work to date, and has guaranteed playback value on EVERY track, mark my words! That project is being sold by me and my team out in Jersey, Team AHWU.

Xan: I hope to hear more from you in the future, Tre. Is there anything else you want the public to know?

Tre: I appreciate you reaching out, I first wanna just put it out there that I live in a area where Juggalos are EVERYWHERE, so this is much appreciated. But to the people seeing this, this is only the beginning for me and TRUST me, be sure to keep watchin’ out. It’s forever Spanish Side and Poor Manz Entertainment. That’s a given, that’s family, but I got something mean in the works from my own camp Team AHWU. Be on the lookout for my girl AFRESSH, my homie Blaze, Maze, Prodigy, BIG Salute, my mans Synna…and free the big homie PrincoPrincee! But anything regarding me or my camp be sure to check out my website for more videos, shirts, albums, ANYTHING involving me you can find there, links to my Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, ALL that! Keep rockin’ with me! Spanish Side/AHWUnation 4eva!
