KAMIKAZE A.K.A THE FRANCHISE

About Me

Kamikaze AKA The Franchise, is formerly one-half of the critically acclaimed Mississippi hip-hop group CROOKED LETTAZ with David Banner. With Banner, he released the heralded 1999 album "Grey Skies" on Tommy Boy records.

In 2001 he formed his own OurGlass Entertainment label and released his first solo record AKA Mr. Sho-Nuff which sold 7,500 records independently. In 2004 he released "2 Broke 2 Ball" which sold 10,000 copies regionally and spawned the hit single "U Ain't Hard". He is currently recording his third solo album "The Franchise" due out in fall 2007. The first single from the new album is titled U SKED featuring David Banner.
Kamikaze also, along with other Jackson, MS, rap icons, founded the Mississippi Artist and Producers Coalition. The organization was formed to be a teaching and networking tool for Mississippi artists. It's goals are to eventually form a union for music artists as well as providing insurance and retirement benefits for artists as well.REMEMBER: "Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise." Cato the Elder

Sometimes I want to get drunk, other times I dont want to party....It varies and the music reflects that...
