*GENESIS*
AMS IS THE STAGE NAME, BORN IN THE MILE HIGH CITY IN 1985 OF AUGEST 25TH. AMS IS THE INITIALS OF MY FIRST BORN DAUGHTER, SYMBOLIC MEANING THATS SHE ALWAYS WITH ME. AMS ALSO STANDS FOR AMERICAS MODERN SLAVE BECAUSE OF RACIAL BIAS AND IMPERIALISM WE ARE FORCE TO WORK IN HARSH PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, BELOW MINIMUM WAGES AND WITHOUT RIGHTS. SLAVERY HAD TO BE REPLACE TO CONTINUE MAKING SUPER PROFITS BY EXPLOITING THE DISADVANTAGES. MOST THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES NATURAL RESOURCES AND ATTRACTIVE LUCRATIVE OPPORTUNITIES ARE DRAIN OUT BY FORIGN COMPANIES AND IN RETURN OPPRESS MILLIONS WHOE ARE FORCE TO MIGRATE TO THE U.S. FOR SURVIVAL. MY PEOPLE ARE TREATED WITH OUT EQUALITY AND JUSTICE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE. THESE AFFLICTIONS MADE ME START WRITING SERIOUS MUSIC ABOUT THE CONDITIONS WE WORK AND LIVE IN. MY MUSIC IS STRICTLY FOR THOSE WHO BEEN LIVING IN THE GUTTER BELOW THE POVERTY LINE AND ARE JUST TRYING TO GET OUT LEAGLY OR ILLEGALLY, THE UNDERACHIEVERS THAT NEVER GOT A CHANCE REGARDLESS OF RACE. I REP ALL OF US THE "HUMAN-RACE" I TRY NOT TO BE SINGLE-MINDED I ACKNOWLEDGE EVERY ONES STRUGGLE IN THIS WORLD. I ALSO WRITE ABOUT REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES ANY THING THATS AROUND ME OR PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME. MY LOVE FOR COMPOSING MUSIC IS NOT FOR YOUR STEREOTYPICAL SELFISH REASONS, ITS TO EXPOSE AND HEAL THOSE TRAP IN THE STRUGGLE. SO OBVIOUSLY AM NOT GOING TO RAP ABOUT MATERIALISTIC SHIT EVEN THOU I FELL INTO THAT TRAP GROWING UP. ANOTHER REASON I STARTED WRITING WAS BECAUSE OF THE AIR PLAY ON THE RADIO WAS JUST NOT RELATIVELY ATTRACTED TO ME AND OTHERS. HIP-HOP IS DEAD WHEN IT COME TO RADIO AND TV. (expect for a few artist) BUT WE ARE THE REASON WHY IT DIE ACCEPTING THE MONOPOLISTIC MATERIAL THEY FEED US EVERYDAY. HIP-HOP LIVES WHEN ARTIST EMANCIPATE THEM SELVES FROM THE CORPORATE GIANTS DEMANDS. "I USED TO BE RADIO SLAVE A FAN/BUT NOW YOU MOTHER FUCKERS MADE ME AMS".peace
*A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME*
MY BIRTH NAME IS PRAJEDIZ, BUT IT SUPPOSE TO BE SPELL ''PRA-X-EDI-S'' IT WAS SPELL WRONG ON MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND MY PARENTS NEVER CHANGE IT. MY NAME IS CARRY DOWN FROM FAMILY TRADITION FROM MY GRAND FATHER TO ME, MY NAME COMES FROM PRAXEDIS G. GUERREO WHO WAS ONE OF THE FIRST REVOLUTIONARY MILITANTS WHO DIED FOR LAND AND LIBERTY AGAINST THE PORFIRIO DIAZ REGIME IN 1910. MY GRANDFATHER FROM MY MOTHER'S SIDE WAS A BRACERO AND WAS A INSPIRING MUSICIAN, HE PLAYED THE GUITAR AND DRUMS, AND OCCASIONALLY WENT ON TOUR WITH HIS BAND IN MEXICO. SO AM PUTTING THE ELEMENTS TOGETHER TO BE A HUMBLE ARTIST MAKING REBELLIOUS MUSIC, JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT JUST LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE. I TRY TO PRACTICE MY CRAFT EVERYDAY, BUT IT TOUGH WHEN THEIRS A LOT OF CHOAS GOING ON...ITS HARD TO HAVE THE ENERGY AFTER A LONG DAY__,''BUT THIS STRUGGLE WILL MAKE ME OR BREAK ME'/.!! AND IT MAKES ME STRIVE HARDER FOR SUCCESS. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS WORKING IN A PHYSICAL JOB SETTING, WHERE I WITNESS UNFAIRNESS PRACTICES TAKEN PLACE AGAINST IMMIGRANTS.. THAT INSPIRED ME TO GET OFF MY ASS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT... AND ON TOP OF THAT AM A STRUGGLING FATHER, HUSBAND, AND SON.
*I LOVE MY DAUGHTER*
I HAVE DAUGHTER TO LOVE, TEACH, AND PREPARE. ITS MY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TOOLS FOR HER DEVELOPMENT AND PREPARE MY DAUGHTER FOR THIS HECTIC WORLD AND LIFE WE LIVE IN, MY TIME ON EARTH IS NOT ALWAYS GUARANTEE SO I HAVE THIS URGENCY TO GET HER READY AND I TAKE MY DAUGHTERS RESPONSIBILITIES SERIOUS. MY PARENTS WERE NEVER HOME, MY MOTHER WORK AROUND THE CLOCK TO MAINTAIN FIVE BAD ASS KIDS AND MY FATHER WAS NEVER THERE. SO ITS PERSONAL STRUGGLE TO MAKE SURE MY DAUGHTER DON'T FALL INTO THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AND PAIN I HAVE ENDURE OVER THE PERIOD OF MY CHILDHOOD. AM LIVING THE CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING A DAUGHTER YOUNG. NOT BEING MENTALLY READY AND FINICALLY SET MAKE IT DIFFICULT, BUT I HAVE FAITH THAT I'LL OVER COME THESE OBSTACLES...
*THE WIFY*
WHERE SHOULD I START(j/k) I BELIEVE IN MONOGAMY AND AM AGAINST EVERY THING I REPRESENTED WHEN I WAS JUST A LOST SOUL. I MADE MY MISTAKES AND AM MAN ENOUGH TO CLEAN THEM UP TODAY. ITS IMPORTANT TO ME TO KEEP HER HAPPY AND VISE VERSA. COZ IF SHE NOT HAPPY THEN HER NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FALLS ON ME. I KNOW WE HAVE OUR UPS AND DOWNS,JUST LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE,I LOVE HER SHE HAS PUT UP WITH ME FOR SEVEN YEARS OF MY BULLSHIT ANTICS. SHE A BIG PART OF MY LIFE, SHE LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM, SHE DOESN'T CARE IF I HAVE THE NICES CAR OR FATEST WALLET. SHE JUST WANT MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION!!!
*MOTHER SITUATION*
MY MOTHER GOING THREW TRIBULATIONS, I TRY TO HELP HER OUT BUT THERE SO MUCH I CAN DO. I HATE TO SEE HER DEPRESS, IT MAKES ME DEPRESS. SO IF I WAS EVER GREEDY FOR THESE CORRUPT PRESIDENTS THAN IT WILL HAVE TO BE TO HELP MY MOTHER OUT. TO FINALLY GET HER OUT OF DEBT AND BUY HER THE DREAM HOME SHE COULD NEVER AFFORD.
*IN CONCLUSION*
AM LIVING THE REAL WORLD AND AM HAVING DIFFICULTIES FINDING THE TIME FOR MY MUSIC, I HAVE PRIORITIES TO ATTEND TO: BILLS TO PAY, THINGS TO DO, AND LIFE. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE MIND TO NEGECT MY DAUGHTER AND SITUATIONS THAT TIED ME DOWN. I CAN'T TALK ABOUT LIBERATING MY PEOPLE WHEN I HAVENT FIXED MY FAMILIES PROBLEMS. DON'T GET ME WRONG AM NOT QUITTING AM JUST VENTING ON THOSE WHO THINK AM NOT SERIOUS. "LIFES A BIG TOGGLE-WAR*WE STRUGGLE BACK AND FORTH"peace
