Free Tempo [Espacio Oficial]

Tempo was incarcerated in 2002; charged and later convicted, on purely circumstantial evidence, of conspiracy to distribute an ungodly and totally preposterous amount of hard drugs. This was not a case of gangster life catching up with Tempo, but the Feds taking their frustrations at not being able to contain and control the real gangsters.Since his incarceration, the genre Tempo helped create has exploded, and brought with it stars such as Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón and Don Omar. Yet Tempo..s star shines brightest to the core fans, perhaps because his tongue is sharpest, his prose real and believable, his anger shared, his fortitude verified, his humanity obvious and because his heart is always open to his people. His fans empathy was attested by the tumultuous response to his appearance (direct from the Federal Courthouse in San Juan, PR) in the massively successful CD/DVD, The Chosen Few ..El Documental...At this time, his Appellant's Brief has been submitted for consideration to the Boston Court of Appeals. In 2006 Tempo will take his rightful place at the top of urban music..s pantheon of stars. AND with all of our help, Tempo will be free.
