Cormega: QB For Life
STRESS — BY FRANK RIVERA
Posted to alt.rap on (publication date not stated in the post)
Just back from touring with Nas, and R.Kelly, Queensbred rapper Cormega and I met at the mostly empty offices of Def Jam. We recollected some old school Hip-Hop in the bridge and Mega talked of the days of namebelts, park jams and seeing Mc Shan perform. "Shan was the smoothest nigga out there and he made me want to rhyme" Unfortunately, choices that today's youth are overcome by in the ghetto changed Cormega. His belief that becoming the next Fat Cat or Alpo was greater than being the next Mc Shan or Rakim. Legal woes then put a halt to Mega's hustle and rolling with his Notorious Goodfellows crew. Fortunately, Mega's QB family, specifically Nas and Mobb Deep, helped keep a buzz the streets of this virtually unknown emcee during his days of incarceration. His release led to his quest of getting on with a label that would allow him to spit his street life on wax. *..... a small snip ...*
*.... the article goes on to talk about the album......another small clip ....*
Featured on Mega's album are songs with Mobb Deep, Nas, Fatal Hussein, and Foxy Brown. The Hitmen, Nashiem, Prestige, Havoc, Marley Marl, Dave Ackerson, Shazel and the Dream Team head the albums production. Tracks such as "Killas Theme", "Dunn-n-Kinko" and "Remember When" reveal graphic tales of the
world through Cormega's eyes inside New York City.
