WHEN & WHERE
THE DREAM STARTED IN 1997 IN A BASEMENT APARTMENT ON "SED" IN THE MINDS OF MERK & DRE.DRE aka DAT BIZNESS WAS ALL READY A UP INCOMING EMCEE IN THE CITY UNDER HIS THEN ALIAS 50 CENT(LOL). MERK WAS MORE INTO THE LOGISTICS OF MUSIC(DJing, PROMOTING etc..).AS A DUO THESE TWO RIPPED DOWN STAGES ACROSS THE CITY WINNING EVERY SINGLE BATTLE THEY EVER ENCOUNTERED AND ALL OUR VICTIMS CAN VOUCH!WHY?
IF YOUR A RESIDENT OF THIS CITY YOU KNOW THAT BEING A GREAT ARTIST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR PROGRESS. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF BEING MISS LED THREW-OUT THIS CHICAGO MUSIC SCENE, MERK DECIDED TO JUMP THE FENCE TO TAKE ON A CORPORATE ROLE.NOW A FEW YEARS LATER WITH OVER 100 SHOWS UNDER OUR BELT AND MORE THAN 20,000 UNITS MOVED ON THE STREETS, ITS PROVEN TO BE THE RIGHT DECESION.WHO?
AS MERK FLOURISHED AS C.E.O AND DAT BIZNESS BUZZ CONTINUED TO GROW, THEY DECIDED TO JOIN FORCES WITH STILLA DA GOD, A EXTREMELY BRIGHT INDIVIDUAL WITH A GENUINE LOVE FOR HIP HOP. SHORTLY AFTER CAME THE BROTHAS (TOPP NOTCH, LIL P, J BANGA) A TRIO OF REAL LIVE STREET CATS WHO SPECIALIZE IN HOOD MUSIC. THE ICING ON THE CAKE WAS THIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE THAT ADDED SO MUCH CONTRAST BUT SEEMED TO FIT SO WELL. THAT VOICE BELONGED TO LAYDIE RICH.SO WHILE YOUR READING LISTING TO THE MUSIC, YOUR OPINION IS DEARLY APPRECIATED. YOU CAN CHECK-ALL OF OUR INDIVIDUAL PAGES OUT, THERE LISTED IN THE TOP FRIENDS.PEACE Merk GOTTA E.A.T (ENTERTAIN AND TEACH)
