LOUISIANA'S FIRST RAPP GROUP
I WAS 22 YEARS OLD ATTENDING SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY, IN BATON ROUGE LA, AT NIGHTS ON THE WEEKEND I WAS ASSISTING IN MANAGING A LOCAL DISCO CLUB CALLED 2001. ONE NIGHT AS I WAS IN THE DJ BOOTH, I NOTICE THAT PEOPLE WERE GOING INTO THE MEN ROOMS, BUT NO ONE WAS COMING OUT, WONDERING IF SOMETHING CRAZY WA GOING ON ,i GO TO CHECKED IT OUT. WHAT I FOUND WAS THESE 3 UNDER AGE KIDS (2) 17,AND (1) 15 YEAR OLD CHILDREN RAPPING,AND THEY HAD ALL THESE PEOPLE MAZMARIZED. BEING THE PERSON THAT I WAS, I AUTOMATICALLY TELL THEM "IF i EVER CATCH YOU LITTLE BAD ASS KIDZ IN MY CLUB AGAIN,,,,YOU BETTER BE ON MY STAGE ! .. I BEGAN TO WORK WITH THEM. COACHING ,AND HOMING THEIR SKILLS, THIS GROUP BEGIN TO WIN EVERY TALENT SHOW THAT THEY ENTERED. AND WOULD SOON BE NOTICED BY A LOCAL CONCERT PROMOTER. WE GOT A CHANCE TO OPEN FOR ROGER TROUTMAN AND ZAPP.. THAT NIGHT I TOLD THEM THAT BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE STAGE, I WANTED THEM TO REALLY HYPE UP ROGER. HE HELD IT AND WE BECAME THE OPENING ACT FOR HIM AND SALT& PEPPER SHOWS.. THEN THE LOCAL RECORD COMPANY INK A DEAL WITH THEM TO RECORD THIS SONG..MAKING THEM THE FIRST RAPP GROUP TO BE SIGNED IN LOUISIANA
