AFTALYFE

AFTALYFE STARTED AROUND '86/87' WITH ORIGINAL MEMBERS R.B., L THE BLADE, A L CHRIS, BOOM AKA MONK, RED BONE (BADDEST BITCH TO EVER RIP ANYBODYS MIC), D.J. TRICKY RICKY, PRODUCER ELITE TIMEBOMB AKA (BOY-WONDER), PETE & KOOL AID (R.I.P.) -- AFTALYFE HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BY MANY AS THAT GROUP THAT SHOULDA BEEN. IT STARTED AS A MOVEMENT TO END ALL OF THE UN-ORIGINAL AKA BITIN' AZZ HIP HOPPERS THAT PLAGED THE CITY AT THAT TIME. THERE WERE MANY GREAT INFLUENCES THAT IMPACTED THE CITY AND SOME ARTIST COULDN'T THINK ON THERE OWN OR CREATE WITH OUT A COPY CAT TEMPLATE. (SOME OF THESE TRAITS STILL EXIST). ...AFTALYFE WAS NEVER JUST A RAP GROUP BUT MORE SO A VISION OF GIVING OUR CITY SOME ORIGINAL CONCEPTS. THE GROUP NEVER MADE IT BIG BUT MADE A GREAT IMPRINT AND STAMPED A GREAT IMPACT. A/L HAS DEFINITELY BEEN REALITY IMPACTED BY A LIFE ENDING STABBING, A PARALIC SHOOTING, LOCK DOWN, & A NEAR FATALITY OF WAR IN IRAQ. STILL IN EXISTANCE, IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS OF BLOOD PAIN & TEARS. ASK YOURSELF WHAT KIND OF HEART DOES IT TAKE TO KEEP ON PUSHING. WELL THESE AREN'T "FICTION BASED" "HIGH IMAGINATION" THUG STORIES IF THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BUT A CONTINUATION OF A MISSION STARTED. LIKE THE STREETZ HAVE ALWAYS SAID, "GAME RECOGNIZE GAME" & "GAME RECOGNIZE THE FAKE". PEEP WHERE WE AT!
