Download Mixtape | Provided by www.hardtimesrecords.comBORN A. PIRIS JR.IN CORONA,QUEENS IN THE EARLY 80'S.
SON TO A. PIRIS SR. AND MOTHER M. RODRIGUEZ.
TWO YOUNG LATINOS WHO MET IN NEW YORK CITY AFTER LEAVING THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY PUERTO RICO.TO LIVE OUT THE AMERICAN DREAM AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
DURING THIS PERIOD THE ARTIST YOU KNOW AS "FAMOSO" WAS CONCIEVED.AS A YOUNGSTER HE GREW UP LISTENING TO THE LIKES OF MUSIC WHICH VARIES FROM:THE FANIA ALLSTARS AND DONNA SOMMERS TO MIAMI SOUND MACHINE AND ROB BASS.
"BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL I HEARD "MILK IS CHILLIN'",THAT I KNEW THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO DO"
MOVING TO THE BUSHWICK AREA OF BROOKLYN IN THE MID TO LATE 80'S.
HE BEGAN TO HONE HIS SKILLS IN THE CULTURE:"I WENT FROM GRAFFIN' AND B-BOYIN' TO BEAT BOXIN' AND SPITTIN',"AND TIL THIS DAY I'M NICE WITH GRAF IT'S CRAZY!,"
BUT HARDTIMES SOON AROSE AFTER HIS FATHER HAD FALLEN TO CRACK ADDICTION FORCING HIS MOTHER AND TWO OTHER SIBLINGS TO MOVE BACK TO PUERTO RICO."IT WAS HARD CAUSE I LOVE MY FATHER TO DEATH AND AS THE OLDEST OF THREE AT THAT TIME,IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO PART WAYS WITH HIM LET ALONE UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON."
WHILE IN PUERTO RICO HIS LOVE FOR HIP HOP NEVER WHITHERED."I WAS IN P.R. FOR 8 MONTHS LISTENING TO ALOT OF FREESTYLE MUSIC CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WAS POPPING THEN","DIENG TO GET BACK TO N.Y. AND HEAR SOMETHING RAW!","I LOVED P.R. THOUGH," ITS BEAUTIFUL; TRUST."
HIS WISH SOON CAME TRUE AND HE WAS BACK IN NEW YORK CITY.
BUT HAPPINESS WAS SHORT LIVED. WITH HIS FATHER'S RECURRING DRUG ADDICTION THINGS WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE.HIS FAMILY WAS ULTIMATELY EVICTED FROM THE HOUSE THEY LIVED IN AND FORCED TO MOVE INTO THE HOUSING PROJECTS IN DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN."HERE MY FAMILY GOES FROM A TWO FAMILY HOUSE BACKYARD,STOOPS,BASEMENT.TO THE PROJECTS, CRACK VILES,PROSTITUTES,PISSY HALLWAYS,AND SERINGES."
"SHIT WAS CRAZY!","AFTER A YEAR WENT BY I GOT USE TO IT."
IT WAS THERE IN THOSE BROOKLYN HOUSING PROJECTS THAT FAMOSO STARTED PUTTING PEN TO PAD WRITING RAPS."I MET ONE OF MY CLOSE FRIENDS" RICHIE ANGER" AND WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT I'D SHOW HIM HOW TO TIGHTEN UP HIS GRAF GAME,HE'D SHOW ME HOW TO TIGHTEN MY DELIVERY,IT WAS A PERFECT COMBINATION."
A COUPLE YEARS AFTER THAT THEY BEGAN RECORDING SONGS WITH PRODUCER SIZZAH SANCHEZ, ALONG WITH OPTIMO A.G. A MUTUAL FRIEND OF NEIGHBORING HOUSING PROJECTS.WHICH LEAD TO A SITDOWN WITH RCA/PRIORITY RECORDS WHO OFFERED A SEVEN ALBUM DEAL."THEY OFFERED US FIVE PROMOTIONAL VANS,ADDS IN THE SOURCE AND VIBE,IT SOUNDED LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE."BUT DUE TO CLAUSES IN THE CONTRACT THE DEAL WAS NEVER FINALIZED AND EVENTUALLY FELL THROUGH.
DISSAPPOINTED BUT NEVERTHELESS HUNGRY FOR STARDOM ALONG WITH PR. DEAN,TOOLS,AND MOKEOUT.FAMOSO TOOK THE INDEPENDANT APPROACH."I'M STILL A MEMBER OF URBAN.ODYSSEY."(RICHIE ANGER,OPTIMO A.G.,SIZZAH SANCHEZ,FAMOSO)."BUT DUE TO CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES I FEEL I HAVE TO TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO GET WHERE I HAVE TO GO." THIS LEAD TO HIS CURRENT STANCE ON THE HARDTIMES RECORDS ROSTER.AN INDIE LABEL WELL NOTED ON THE UNDERGROUND SCENE WITH MAINSTREAM CONNECTIVITY. THIS FORMULA COUPLED WITH CONSTANT MARKETING IS WHY THIS BRAND IS SO RECOGNIZED,NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY." I HAVE GOOD REPIOR WITH MY LABELMATES AND WE ALL SHARE THE SAME VISION." SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. FAMOSO... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..."AUDIO DOPE OUT NOW!!!","UNDERGROUND RAILROAD VIDEO OUT NOW!!!",COMING SOON:"FUTURE BILLBOARD STARS!!!","FAMOSO MEETS DILLA & PREMO!!!"(R.I.P).AND THE ALBUM:"AUTHOR OF ALL AUTHORS!!!"
