MAESTRO LUNGS is truly THE MILLION DOLLAR SECRET. An ear for music thats equal to a great chef pallet! Based in The NOTORIOUS SOUTH JAMAICA QUEENS and The even mo infamous BAISLEY PROJECTS. Yet his music is miles away! Born to William LONG an Vermel CORLEY(QUEENS NIGGAS KNOW THE NAME).He was exposed to alot as a youth. He moved from flushing to queens village to st albans due to family stress. It wasn"t til he moved to FAR ROCKAWAY"S REDFERN PROJECTS that he got his start rhymin. ATLANTA is where he truly hone his craft and learned not only to make hip hop he learned to make music.Officially an artist now along with IMPACT his 1st mentor in music, who went on to be his rap partner in the group BAD LUCK. HE IS NOW C.E.O OF ILL BREED ENT IN DETROT an goes by the name CRUNKC!It was IMPACT who open LUNGS up to different styles in hip hop.

Who were at the time signed to DOWNPAYMENT RECORDS. The label was owned by HITMAKIN producer DJ TOOMP(T.I"S U DON"T KNOW ME & WHAT U KNOW BOUT THAT) & BROTHER MARQUISE of 2 LIVE CREW. THE BAD BLOOD ALLIANCE was similar to the WILD CARDS in structure. BAD BLOOD"S goal was to make hip hop more musical by bringin elelment of the south an north together. ATLANTA was a musical mecca on the rise at the time. A very soulful place. ATLANTA had yet to reach its full potenial.The idea was to show how atlanta had another sub culture of out towners tryin to blend into the city fabric. Membership ranks swelled an was halted in 95. The artist became a force to be reckon with on the underground hip hop scene in the city that was growin at a rapid rate. Thier 1st compilation went on to sell nearly a thousand copies in MARIETTA alone! You can say this pioneer the go to ATLANTA do it yaself attitude that exist today. It wasn"t until the death of his mother in 1999 that things changed. Which in turn left him far removed from ATLANTA now bubbling hip hop scene. thus leaving everything he built in shambles!

MAESTRO LUNGS 1st solo album CHAPTER 13 DEAD, BROKE OR IN JAIL just dropped recently an he is hard at work on his second album CHAPTER 7 A BROKEN MANS DREAM! MAESTRO---The name comes from his idea of he can make hip hop more musical. The same way a maestro or a conducter controls an orchestra is similar to the what LUNGS does in hip hop. A Master in song arrangement an a knack for makin Thought provokin radio friendly music wit street creditabilty. A self described shit talkin asshole, MAESTRO is more of a description of the person than a name. A detail orientated control freak, due to his demanding ways you would think MAESTRO means master! L.U.N.G.S-----The name is an acroynm meaning Let.U.Never.Get.Smoke or Shit from a nigga like him! It is a testament to his desire to win. It once said jokly, the boy must got an extra set of lungs! Even with asthma an a heavy unmatched smokin habit, its like HE"S UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
