I feel like I’m born again. I feel like when I first came out.
I got my new label, I’m tryna blow that up. I’m rappin from
my heart, givin my 110%, and plus I’m bringin artists that’re
gonna do the same thing. I gotta show ‘em that ain’t nobody
carryin me, I gotta carry my own weight. more_info

You got to know that I been around and I seen it. Me personally,

injected with game from my childhood, because I was surrounded
by older cats. And I ain't a four block muthafucka, I been
around the world and back. more_info
Jake the Flake
All my albums have been solo.
I came out in ’93 with one called Jake
The Flake Out To Get Rich. That was independent also. That
one really took off in Flint. I was makin a strong buzz
on the underground scene, due to my relationship with Dayton

When I came in I brought a darker edge
to the music. And
we got really influenced by Hip Hop. Our main influence
Hip Hop wise was Cypress Hill--their early albums. We got
the idea to do samples of guitars. Rage Against The Machine
did that and we were influenced by them. We got into our
own style of music. We mixed a little bit of Hip Hop, a
little Groove, Funk, everything more_info

It's niggaz out there everywhere like us. They're gonna feel the music,
they're gonna relate to it. Other niggaz can switch their game up. You
got the playa niggaz and you got all that. But fuck it, we're gonna stay
strictly West Coast and Gangsta over here, cause that's all we know. more_info

When I first started Mac Dre was poppin. E-40 was comin
out so vicious back then. He had just put out the little
ep Let's Side, only on cassette. I remember the first
time "Back To The Hotel" came on the radio I recorded
it on cassette and took it over to 40's house, he used to stay
in an apartment on the outskirts of Vallejo, played it for him. more_info

On the last album, Movin On, me and Gangsta Blac collaborated
over a track that was made by a producer called Black Out. We
pursued it to the fullest. The truth shall set you free,
so they say. We just told it like it was and we gave it
our all and we received a great response from it. more_info

It was when I was about seventeen. It got real for me when I
turned around twenty-one. Before that I was just a regular
street kid running with the knuckleheads. Trying to go to
school, gettin my life together. Have dreams of being an
athlete, goin to college one day. more_info

The police stay on me a lot down here in Memphis. They
always wanna know where we at and what we doin, how much money
we makin. They harass me a whole lot. They always
come to check my pockets, throw us down on the ground, search
us, search the car. Right now I'm just sick and tired of it. more_info
