They call me Champ aka Champ MC, the heavy weight knock-out rapper. I started out as a solo artist on East/West records, the album Ghetto Flava. I did a song with Yo-Yo called,(Just Cruisin`) she was my label mate. I joined an all female group called the Deadly Venoms. A group of 4 hard spitting females from 4 different areas. We caught our first deal as a group with A&M records. The album was self titled (Deadly Venoms), we had a song called(one-more-to-go) f.Wu-Tang-Clan, then we shifted to Interscope records. After that we bounced and got a deal with Dream Works. The album Pretty Thugs, had a song and video called Venom Everywhere, Don`t Give Up and more. This is my official Myspace page if you want to get to know me and to all DJ's who want to some hot mixtape sh*t get at me!Quotes-"I got a award for the damage that I did
so stop beatin' me in my head with that bullshit, kid
I got it goin' on, word is bond, Champess is the master
grab the microphone and blast a nigga if I have ta""It's the same old shit, no matter where you go
You could travel around the world and still roam in the ghetto
The other day I had some problems with the cops
I had to shoot his ass dead just to get my damn props
What the fuck is goin' on, I always have to walk around strapped
but that's okay with me, I lead a war in a death trap""I always told my mother I was gonna be a rap star
whoever thought I was gonna make it this far?
It was my dream ever since I was 12
Growin' up in the ghetto I had to go for delf
Chillin' at jams and parties in the hood
'Aiyo Champ get open' - Do you really think I should?"Champ MC Rap Review:"How about some hardcore?" asked M.O.P. a good ten years ago. Going by their long-running career, more than a few heads could agree with their debut single's chorus and responded with, "Yeah, we like it raw!" Since the element of rawness has been missing in hip-hop as of lately, why not take a look at a period when this music was rawer than shark sushi? Presenting female rapper Champ MC, whose only album, 1994's "Ghetto Flava", is interesting for a couple of reasons. Released on the Atlantic subsidiary EastWest, this was a major label album. Secondly, it was a serious attempt at creating a bi-coastal rap album, as it is divided into a 'east' and a 'west' side, the former overseen by Mount Vernon's Tony Dofat, the latter orchestrated by Oakland's E-A-Ski & CMT. Despite these premises, it reached only a limited number of people. On the trivia tip, there's the fact that rap legend Rakim seems to be part of Champ's extended family, as she refers to him in the liner notes as her godbrother. More importantly, a few years later, Champ MC was appointed to become part of the Deadly Venoms, the all-female group associated with Wu-Tang.But I had a different, much simpler reason to buy this album once it hit the shelves. It was the cover. It consists of a black-and-white snapshot of Champ in the background, dressed in a black hoodie, caught in movement, lifting up her chin defiantly, her face screwed. In the front, there's the blurred vision of a turntable, a DJ's hand resting on the vinyl, either scratching or cueing the record. The picture is tagged by the plain announcement of artist and album title. For a hip-hop record, this looked damn promising.
