// December 22nd, 2010 // No Comments » // DJ Suckafree

David Anthony Brown IV aka DJ Suckafree was born in Newport Beach, CA in 1978. Although born on the west coast, Suckafree’s roots are in the south where he was raised. Growing up in Arkansas, Suckafree lived everywhere through out the A state. Although he enjoyed all styles of hip hop, Suckafree eventually became interested in the wicked shit around 2000. It was during this same year he tried his hand at rapping. From 2000-03 Suckafree rapped under several names while entering numerous rap battles and freestyle shows. In late 2005, the former emcee found himself behind some turntables at a friend’s house. From this chance encounter the idea of creating mixtapes began to marinate. In 2008, based on his friendships with several successful rappers, Suckafree decided to begin work on his first major mixtape release, Presidents of the Wicked Underground Vol. 1 which was hosted by Menacide. Volume 2 of the Presidents series was hosted by that drunk bastard Saint Sinatra aka Saint Sinna which quickly became an underground classic. In late 2010, Suckafree was approached to link up with Psyko South International and became an instant fit. The commonality which connected Suckafree and everyone from the Psyko South family was their mindset about the music they make and release. Both Suckafree and the Psyko South family are set on destroying the rap game with their style of wicked shit. In 2011, Suckafree expects to release his first mixtape dvd, Welcome to the Wicked Underground, along with his other mixtape series which will all feature artists from the Psyko South family. Suckafree’s mixtape and album executive producer credits include: Presidents of the Wicked Underground Vol. 1 & 2, Basement Crack Vol. 1-5, Presidents Day LP, and the Panik Attack Vol. 1 & 2.

// October 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // Tommy Gunz

Rapper Tommy Gunz the Dark One has been on the rap scene for the past 11 years. He first got started in music by listening to his favorite artist who were on top at the time or who are still making hits today such as Outkast, Goodie Mob, Tech N9ne and Erykha Badu to name a few. He was influenced by the creativity of such artists so much that he decided to dabble in music himself. After a short time he made his first LP entitled “ONE WITH THE NIGHT” which had mixed reviews among other artist and his peers. Several years have past and Tommy Gunz created a style he could stick with after experiencing the street life of Opa Locka, FL which is a suburban area in Miami with a very high crime rate. Mr Gunz overcame many obstacles and set backs and down the road managed to grab the attention of Psyko South member J.M. Blakk who he had been friends with before his induction into Psyko South. J.M. Blakk introduced Mr Gunz to Psyko South chairman Vice Gripp and then eventually met the remaining Psyko South members. Tommy Gunz is currently an active member of the Psyko South family with his first mixtape under Psyko South International, Inc. entitled “THE 21 GUN SALUTE”. The mixtape is a hard hitting, aggressive, metaphorically charged mixtape. Mr Gunz is currently working on material for his new album (Man In Black) that’s sure to catch your ear in the future and shred it into pieces.
