down 4 life

Main, Jones, main, a nigga love music. Was raised on music, from Memphis main, home of Beale Street, Old Hernando, Sunbeams Hotel, Stax records, Issac hayes and Three six mafia. So Jones, main, a nigga love music main.

I realized that after I had my interview with
Shorty-Lo, his album coming out in a few, and him and Born Immaculate, just as Lil Mark, Short Greg, Fabo and the Legendary Mook B, and I go way back. While I was there, D4L studio on Bankhead, I also ran into some more of my folk - Shorty B. Legendary Musician in old school mode play 16 instruments, was the bassiest for Rare Essence and reknown eastside Oakland Hustler. In fact I meet him through my folk , reknown in his on regard from the Westside of Oakland-lol. He still loked the same. He had his right eye shot out traping back in the day, I mean when i met jones in 1990.



But I was thinking, cause I asked and really told
Born and Lo that they had mentored a lot of folk. I mean they used to recored in My studio in 1988, back then when Mook was in the county (Harris county - old projects across from what is now Morehouse Statidum and Borned had a Warehouse down the street from me on Walker Street). Being the diplomate he is, Born said "I aint gone call no names God, but they know who the are." So I speculated, Parlee, Frannchise Boys, Young Ralph, Yola, and Shop Boyz among others-many others. Humility is still represented in the streets, at least by my folk. DJ Scream was in that joint too .
And then he said, but their will never be another sameblackmuthafucka - savagebeastmonsta. So I smiled, knowning that he knew our music was ground breaking. Then he added Fabo think he you. I fell out laughing. But like I said whats up, i loved kicking it with my folks, But is it me or the world, Shop Boyz funky for real though no doubt. But aint nothing wrong with giving props, I mean sound like Dougie Fresh to me - "Only play this at night", which sounds like the theme from Fantasim to me. But they my folk, and we go back, thats whay they call themselves Down 4 Life. Get Shorty's new joint - them yola and Kool ace joints slammin'.
