Derelict's With A Dream....

Sometimes I really wish I owned my own record label so that I could give people like this a taste of the good life. Unfortunately we all don't get the same cards of life dealt to us and some of us have to deal with deeply intense struggles more so than others. Now let me introduce to you all the first starving homeless artist on my topic for today branded with the name "Sawed Off". This video is deep look into the life of this Jamaican born homeless mc who currently roams the streets of Brooklyn, New York. It's a 9 minute intro/documentary narrated by Sawed Off himself telling you the outlandish trials and tribulations of this poor man and what he had to go through being on his own in the streets since the young age of 11. He's done it all from committing his first armed robbery at 12 years of age, to selling drugs, to being a father of  7 kids, and surviving on the streets doing whatever he had to do to survive in this harsh world we all currently reside in. He takes being an mc as a way of therapy to maintain his cool staying in the pocket. Now I don't agree with a good percentage of what this man did for the overall duration of his life but thankfully ill never have to know what its like to be in his shoes. It's worth the full 9 minutes in its entirety so enjoy and give me your feedback.

Now as for this guy he is not a rapper but a G-Funk Beat Boxer and goes by the name of "Red". There is not much info on this interesting character but so far all we know is his name and that he resides in the streets of LA. It appears to me that he is a crack head from the sound of his crack infested uvula and voice box but hey.... it wouldn't sound as cool without the harsh and deep raspy effect he conveys on his melodic funk driven creativity. The first video is a world premiere of his talents in a local LA parking lot. The second video is Red shortly after the parking lot fiasco looking a little cleaned up talking about him recording his first single. I have recently got news he got locked up which is the reasoning behind the single being pushed back. Check this interesting sound out and be sure to support FREE RED!!!!
