Вот ещё один микс от DJ Payback Garcia: Hecho en Aztlan 2 mix (57:49, MP3, 256 kbps, 105 Мб). Оказывается, это не то же самое, что микстейп Hecho en Aztlan 2. В общем, и тут Cypress Hill, Delinquent Habits, Control Machete, Frost и ещё, вроде, Kinto Sol, Psycho Realm и другие.

What up cokeheads .... We are gathering once again for 10 days on the west coast
to record and finish our first mixtape and hopefully get real close to finishing
an album ...We want to thank all of you for supporting LCN we could not proceed
without your help .... This is the year we really set things off ... Remember we
are doing this completely on our own so far ...so but a shirt or hoody and help
LCN get this shit done ... We are also in negotiations to start our own label
situation with a few distributors ... also La Coka Nostra will appear on Ego
Trip's White rapper show ... The producers are friends from way back and asked
us to come by and let the contestants ask us whatever they wanted and give them
some knowledge on the game .... from the looks of the first show I don't know if
any good was done but it should be fun to see how seriously these cats play
themselves .... When you take short cuts to get famous then you're only famous
for the short cuts you take ... anywa
y It should get the La Coka Nostra name out there as the real White MC's to
watch ...

STORY

If you think you're on top of the hip-hop underground but you've never heard of Psycho Realm, you don't know Jack. Jack "Jacken" Gonzalez, that is.

Jack and older brother Duke make up the Mexican hip-hop group that has long reigned as the undisputed king of the Los Angeles underground scene, cultivating an army of devoted fans known as the Sick Soldiers.

The first seeds of Psycho Realm were sown in the tough downtown Pico-Union neighborhood, right across the street from Doheny Park. First-generation Americans and the eldest two of the four Gonzalez boys, Jack and Gustavo, a.k.a. "Duke," grew up in the contentious neighborhood in the mid- and late-1980s.
"Our side of town is the 'Sick Side' of town. They have the South Side, North Side, East Side, whatever. Our side is the Sick Side," Jack explains over a lunch of Argentine Lomo and Mimosas on Hollywood's Melrose Avenue one recent Sunday, fresh off a series of concert dates in Italy.

The patriarch of the Gonzalez family came to the U.S. from Mexico at the age of 15 and supported his family by painting cars. Their house was filled with music: classic oldies, which surface prominently in Psycho Realm's tracks, along with regional Mexican music and giants of the 1960s and '70s like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix.
Immersed in hip-hop as a middle-school student, Jack's neighborhood friend, Yonjo, got ahold of a record featuring a guy out of Miami rapping in Spanish. They threw it on the turntable and, inspired by what they heard, the boys wrote a Spanglish rap about all of the friends they grew up with and the growing specter of neighborhood gang warfare that would crest just a few years later in the early 1990s.

Older brother Duke was attending Cal State Northridge (CSUN) at the time, and Jack and Yonjo made the trip out one weekend to see Latin hip-hoppers A Lighter Shade of Brown play the on-campus pub. When the following act was late to the stage, a deejay friend of Duke's threw on an instrumental beat and persuaded Jack and Yonjo to get on stage. Their song about the neighborhood characters got the crowd going crazier than the headlining act, and Jack was hooked.

Eventually, Yonjo dropped out to work for his family's business, Duke got in on the act, and his days at CSUN soon came to an end as well. "I think he went with the intention of doing something, but didn't know what he wanted to do," says Jack. According to his little brother, Duke spent most of those two years with his '79 Regal backed up to the door of his dorm room, juicing up the batteries on his hydraulics with free electricity, courtesy of the Cal State University system. When the party was over, he left.
Building Cred

By now Jack was attending the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies' (LACES) magnet high school Mid-City. Always a talented writer, he once won an essay contest for an opportunity to travel to the Soviet Union, but those plans were derailed by the ill-timed collapse of communism. Jack also played first-chair trumpet in the band and rubbed elbows in Miss Cox's music class with Lucas MacFadden (a.k.a. DJ Cut Chemist of Jurassic 5, Ozomatli and the Brainfreeze projects with DJ Shadow), and a certain actor you may have heard of named Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jack admits that he and his boys used to give Leo a hard time, but when they ran into each other years later at a Playboy magazine party, there were no hard feelings. "He was like, 'Hey, your music's tight.' I was like, 'You're acting's dope,'" Jack remembers.

After graduating from LACES, Jack also took a stab at higher education, attending Santa Monica College on scholarship, taking random courses for credit like weight training. "My dad always wanted us to do the college thing," he says. "Get a good job, make eighty-, a hundred-thousand-dollars a year. Live the good life, you know?" But with an infant daughter to support (he's now the proud father of five girls) and a waning interest in academics, Jack decided that his energy was better spent working and nurturing Psycho Realm's music.

About that time, Psycho Realm caught what could be considered the band's big break. It was 1993 and they were playing a free "End Barrio Warfare" show at the Olvera Street Plaza downtown, which happened to be attended by B-Real of Cypress Hill. B liked what he heard, met with Jack and Duke after the show, and eventually signed Psycho Realm to his production company and the Ruffhouse/Columbia/Sony label, mentoring the fledgling duo. "He was a good mentor," says Jack. "He helped us structure our songs more.
Live shows, he taught us how to work the crowd."

B-Real was so impressed with Psycho Realm that he actually wanted to join the group and make it a trio, but Jack and Duke were reluctant to let anyone else in the fold. "We had the mentality of the old rock bands: If you can't do an album on your own, you ain't shit," says Jack. The brothers told B-Real they would pass, but he was persistent. "We told him if you're going to be in the group, you've got to do all the promotional stuff, too. You don't get superstar status. And he was down with it, so we were like, 'Let's do the whole album.' And we did the whole first album with him."
The Big Debut

When it came time to put out their self-titled debut album in 1997, Jack and Duke were adamant that it was credited only to Psycho Realm, minting them as their own brand. Sony didn't go for it. "On everything, every sticker, it said, 'Featuring B-Real of Cypress Hill,' " recalls Jack. "You can't really blame them because they're sinking so many dollars into it. They're going to go for the marketing aspect." It wasn't all bad news, though. Even now, when Cypress Hill comes up, Psycho Realm usually gets a mention, and vice-versa.

Timing was not on their side, however. Simultaneously, Cypress Hill, Nas, and the Fugees were all on the Ruffhouse label, and they all had big radio hits. Not being a radio-friendly group, Psycho Realm fell into a no-man's land, and consequently fell through the cracks. "They didn't know what to do with us," laments Jack. "Two Mexican guys from L.A. rapping. They were just like, 'What is this? How can we market this?' "

Psycho Realm eventually decided it was best to part ways with Sony. "Sony did give us a worldwide promotional campaign, so we're known all over the world now," says Jack. "We can go to Europe and have promoters pay us to do shows. And we have fans that are coming to the shows all over the world – Mexico, South and Central America, Europe, Australia."

With a DIY work ethic, the Gonzalez brothers have also cultivated a vast network of independent distributors around the globe, keeping their music, their fans – and their profits – close to their chests. Jack breaks it down: "Instead of making eighty cents a record, we're making six or seven dollars a record. It's more of a direct contact with the streets, too, because on a day-to-day basis I'm going around to stores dropping off product. People at the shows buy it, people see me on the streets. I'm out there every day. It's being accessible. I think a lot of people can relate to us and the fact that we're in everybody's face, we're standing next to everybody, it makes it that much more real."

The ugly face of Los Angeles street violence got a little too real for Psycho Realm in late January 1999, just a month before their second album, "A War Story, Book 1," was scheduled for release on their own Sick Symphonies label. After a Delinquent Habits show at the El Rey theatre, Duke and a few friends went in search of late-night nourishment, ending up at Tommy's burger stand at Beverly and Rampart. Following an altercation in the parking lot, Duke was shot in the neck, severing an artery, with the bullet ending up right between the "L" and the "O" of his "Los Angeles" tattoo.
By the time Jack made it to the scene, Duke was already on his way to County-USC Medical Center, and only his jacket remained in the street, ringed by yellow police tape. He caught up with Duke in the hospital hallway, barely alive and disfigured by swelling, bandages and clamps. Duke survived, and the police arrested the shooter, but his injuries left him a quadriplegic at 28.

Jack calls the months after Duke's misfortune "The Dark Ages." "I wasn't really doing much," he says. "Not really making music, just cruising the streets." Duke eventually convinced Jack to get back to making music, and he hooked up with dedicated foot soldiers of the Psycho Realm promotion machine and fellow Angelenos, Street Platoon. Together they recorded "The Steel Storm," released in 2001. Dad went to nursing school so he could care for Duke full time and Psycho Realm eventually got back on track.

Now, along with his musical contributions, Duke runs Psycho Realm's cyber-domain, maintaining the Web site and mailing list. And L.A. hip-hop's favorite sons released their long-awaited third album, "A War Story, Book 2," in November 2003. On one of the 15 new tracks, "Poison Rituals," MTV News' Kurt Loder even recounts the night Psycho Realm's lives changed forever at the burger stand. Standout and single-worthy tracks also include head-bobbing party track "Good Times" and street anthem "The Killing Fields."

By all appearances, Psycho Realm barely missed a step. When they threw a record-release party at the El Rey, the same theater where they attended the Delinquent Habits show that fateful night in 1999, Sick Soldiers lined up around the block, and the 600-plus fans that were turned away incited a near-riot. The L.A.P.D. even showed up, decked out in riot gear, though the situation eventually ended peacefully.

"We do it all ourselves," says Jack. "For two guys [Street Platoon], me and my brother, who's quadriplegic, we're not doing too bad."

Монах спсб, почитаем.

RaPLoveR хто такой

SoundSlam: What’s up Muggs? How is life out West?

Muggs: What’s up brother. I’m good, man.

SoundSlam: Word. So, you’ve produced previously for Gza a few different joints...What spawned the new record, GrandMasters.

Muggs: Just working in the past and making good music. I was thinking, ‘man, I want to do a record with Gza,’ and I had some beats and stuff. I was in New York and I reached out to him and he came to the hotel and gave him the beats. He took them and started writing to them... wrote some rhymes and sh*t… he wrote a few songs and we scheduled some time to come out to L.A. and boom! We banged it out.

SoundSlam: Now, I grew up on 36 Chambers and this record is interesting to me because sonically it has the feel of 36 Chambers, but minus the lo-fi quality, really. How was the approach to the music-making on your end?

Muggs: Well, the way we wanted to do it was like the earlier records, like Temple of Boom and the first Cypress (Hill) record, that was just real grimy, you know what I mean?

SoundSlam: Yeah, I love it.

Muggs: My sound has always been really dark and grimy, in that sense. And some cats don’t like to f*ck with that sound no more, know what I mean? But I make beats like that all the time and the Gza loves that sound, so we connected. And we had mixed the record real lo-fi, but its just the way that everybody is using computers nowadays, it sounds super super muddy compared to everything that’s playing it. We had to mix it digitally and make it sound a little cleaner, make it crack a little more. But yeah, that was [the] approach, man. Just a love for a certain style of music and just doin’ the hell what we felt like doin,’ instead of just try to chase this radio, chase this video. We knew we were out for respect again because we knew we wouldn’t get any radio and very limited video play. And even a lot of the mixshow DJ’s now are worrying about their ratings so they’re playing daytime records up there. SoundSlam: What 12”s are you getting pressed up for this? Muggs: Right now we got “General Principles” and “All In Together” and another 12” is “Destruction Of A Guard” and “Advanced Pawn.”

SoundSlam: Now, I don’t know if a lot of people realize it, but your discography is kind of crazy. I mean, you’ve collaborated with non-hip hop artists such as Sonic Youth, Tricky, Pearl Jam and so on. Is it important for you to take on different projects or is it more just about the timing that they come up?

Muggs: It’s, umm, a little of all that. For me though, just being an artist, I just like to experiment, and test my boundaries as a producer. I like to try different things. You don’t want to be in the studio every day doin’ the same things or it’ll get really boring. So, it makes it fresh to do hip hop records again and it makes it fresh to try other things as well.

SoundSlam: Now, I just found out that you guys got some shine in the magazine Scratch recently. I know you mentioned you don’t expect much radio or video play, but are you pleased with the other press attention and the word on the streets about the record?

Muggs: Yeah, I think that it’s been great. A few of the major publications were reluctant to do the story because they’re more interested in putting new artists in their magazines. But I thought we had a great story, with two of the most influential groups in hip hop history, and the impact that we made is just moving. So I thought that a bunch of majors would’ve seen that, but I guess a bunch of young writers out there have to cover some of the places that don’t understand the impact that we made for this culture.

SoundSlam: Yeah, very true. I was talking to Reverend Run [of Run D.M.C.] about that. Personally, I pay attention to the older music, I still go out and dig for it weekly and still play older stuff in my DJ sets, but I, too, think that a lot of young people do miss the importance of going back and seeking out the older music.

Muggs: Yeah, you don’t gotta do that. I mean, I don’t expect [you] to have to love “C.R.E.A.M.” you know what I mean. But, I’m sure that if you took a Mick Jagger or Eric Clapton, a rock magazine would understand the significance or importance of a story like that. The press has been great, but it’s just been the mainstream publications, you know.

SoundSlam: Now, the album is just one big chess reference, more or less. Was that a product of Gza’s lyrics or is there a story behind how that came about?

Muggs: That was just as important as making the record. I mean, when you make a record in a concentrated amount of time, it kinda starts to take a life of its own. And then it started to guide itself. We were playin’ while we were checking out some chess samples. I knew I wanted to put some chess samples in the record and I saw that “Grand Master” is the highest level of a chess player, so I asked some homies about what they thought. Then, I hit him with the idea and Gza was with it and we thought about Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Melle Mel, that the highest level of chess player is a grand master. So, that’s where that came from. And then we was thinkin’ about how to make it like a chess game, tying the record together because Gza plays chess everyday… that’s his personality. And me being a producer, when I put a project together, I feel like the record has gotta have that cohesiveness.

SoundSlam: Right. Makes perfect sense. Do you play?

Muggs: Yeah, I play.

SoundSlam: Fresh. So tell me about what type of legacy you guys expect to have? Or, is that even a concern on any level?

Muggs: I don’t know. That ain’t for me to decide, really. It’s not my choice. I just wanna make good music. And what I’m doin’, where I’m comin’ from is that hip hop is urban punk rock. So, it’s not about conforming and you aren’t gonna conform to what’s goin’ on. I refuse to put a bunch of r&b hooks on my records and that crap, or tryin’ to do what the trend is at that moment. You know, it’s become this formulated form of pop music, you know what I mean? I refuse to get down to that. I get down to it with a punk rock attitude like “F*ck everybody and this pop sh*t!” I look at this like I’m in it for the long haul. You can’t chase every train… you gotta be you, man.

SoundSlam: Yeah, everyone has different opinions on the topic, but I think that different ideas and positions are healthy. It’s people like yourself that keep that necessary character in the game.

Muggs: Yeah, I do this because I got love for the art. Period. I’ve always done it my way and people have always accepted it. And I’ve had some success, so I’m gonna continue to do it my way.

SoundSlam: Yeah, respect to that. Now, your sound has a quality of ten and fifteen years ago like we discussed. So, let’s talk about who your influences were?

Muggs: EPMD, Rick Rubin, all of Marley Marl’s sh*t, the Bomb Squad, Ced Gee from Ultramagnetic, BDP (Scott La Rock), and just lots of other miscellaneous music.

SoundSlam: Word up. Any plugs you want to speak on?

Muggs: Well, we just started a label, Angeles Records. That’s who we put the album out through. Also, Self Scientific, another group from LA, is on it. Their album came out the same day as GrandMasters and it’s one of the most bangin’ albums of the year. So, everyone should check that out. Also, we have a new Soul Assassins album coming out this summer. Another couple releases coming this year too.

SoundSlam: How much of the production have you done on the Soul Assassins record?

Muggs: I’m doin’ all of it probably.

SoundSlam: Well, I didn’t know if you would have Alchemist or anyone else throw production on there.

Muggs: Yeah, we aren’t that deep into it yet, but I might have Alchemist do a few tracks for a little more flavor. So, I’ll probably have Al and Khalil do a few tracks. So, be on the lookout for that later in 2006
