The FuFops - Prison lingo for getting your ass kicked. It's the sound of a fist flying at your face and then connecting. FUFOP!

We (the FuFops) have been in operation for a little less than a year and so far it has done pretty well. We put out "Rough Drafts" and "Rough Drafts II" as well as a "Mix Tapes" CD. We had been putting on the "Wednesday Night Mic Fights" at the Jazz and Blues Club in downtown Belleville, Illinois until the Belleville PO-PO came with a full swat team and shut our shit down like we was 2LIVECREW, or better yet, the damn MOB. Oh well, there's bullshit where ever you go, and when your doing music (specifically Hip-Hop or Potty Mouth R&B) in this town, well, the "WHITE" people in (so called) "CONTROL" don't seem to like it much. I say "FUCK'EM & feed'em beans, cuz that's what the STATE will do to you." ,believe me I know. The point is that the cops can't stop the FOPS,cuz we gonna continue to do what we do NO MATTER WHAT!! The result of that is, we've been on the radio(105.7 The Point,The Thom & Jeff Show), we've played The Pageant(3 times), opened at POPs for AfroMAn, and smoked blunts with Wu members (GhostFace Killah) and Wu Affiliates (CappaDonna & Trife the God). We won the award from the RFT (www.riverfronttimes.com) for Best R&B/FUNK/SOUL in the St.Louis area. As well as meeting ALOT of people in the biz, like DMC from The Kings of Hip-Hop RUNDMC (a high light in ALL this for me,personally). So we're trying and I think we're doing well considering a few years back I was in Menard Penitentary doing time with no clue what would come of my life.
The FuFops CD with "FatGirls" "Dick Daily" & "Ma-Ma" is available at all Slackers and Games, all Vintage Vinyl's and at WWW.CDBABY.COM and of course WWW.FUFOPS.COM and at our shows. We also have t-shirts too, and they are very, very nice. We got'em in three colors RED, BLACK and PINK. Get you some fools!
The tracks "No Holes Barred," "Stay Golden," "Why I Did That There," and "Walk In The Park" are all EngleBurt (Mike Stahl) beats. He is currently surving our country in the AirForce, located somewhere in Arizona. Engleburt's beats really set the soundscape for my writing and push me to another level. The man is a beat monster and I've got mad love and respect for him and his craft. If you haven't checked out his work, look at my top 8 and go listen.
The new mix tape should be out REAL SOON with a grip of new tracks and some sick collaborations from local talent: Costlofobic, ILLONE, Lady P, The TRUTH, BuDro , and MANY other's!! It will include the tracks "MySpace Whore", "Can't Stand Yo Ass", "Pimps,Players&Hustlers" and MANY MANY more, SO BE ON THE LOOK OUT!! Peace & Respect!!!
