FREESTYLIN’ & THUGLIFEI started freestylin’ back in high school, so it’s been about 9 years & runnin’. On a mic or on tha streetz, each and every time I get a chance - I’ll rip it up. Freestylez come out flawless when you’re in tha zone - and I’m always in tha zone. People try & test me by puttin’ me on tha spot, but tha freestylez I spit are just 2 clutch - kinda like M.J. with tha game on tha line and 3 seconds left. I think it’s important when I bust freestylez in competitions to always represent myself instead of dissin’ on tha next rapper because I feel disrespect is just showin’ your own insecurity. People tend 2 get very jealous when they see you doin’ something positive, especially when they themselves don’t have shit. These people are seen as tha devil’s messengers to me. But I learn to stay strong and above all keep my faith. Gotta stay positive in this game, or else it’s game over.I’ve been in many scraps where I’ve lost a few when outnumbered, but also won a whole lotta scraps 2. I’ve been sliced down my chest, had gats put 2 my head, knives 2 my throat, uttered death threats and had them uttered at me. In clubs I’ve had to physically persuade DJ’s and promoters to lend me tha mic so I could market myself. Those who dissed me off tha bat, without even hearin’ my shit, got an old school beatin’ outside after tha club. But after hearin’ my freestyle flowz these were tha same guys who were quick 2 realize that not only did I have my sense of self respect, but theirs 2. Let me just say, it really is a dog eat dog world out here. Countless times, I’ve been onstage freestylin’ against tonz of otha rap artists as tha only East Indian in tha competition. With all tha respectful nods and cheers from people in tha crowds, there were also haters obviously. On one occasion, a punk ass bitch throw a glass at tha stage and it shattered in front of us. With a split open 4 head, I dropped tha mic and chased tha bitchass hater outta tha club. He ran faster than Ben Johnson did when he broke the world record.I’ve been arrested and taken in for questioning on numerous occasions. I was also arrested & charged with Attempted Murder. Luckily I wasn’t convicted due to a lack of evidence. My house, where my kidz and family stay, has been shot up 3 times. I would rather B shot at than 2 put my at kidz at risk. Bein’ around guns was an everyday thing for me because I was formally introduced 2 them at tha early age of 10 by my pops. My father’s a great guy, but over an incident protecting our family he was convicted for murder and did 6 years in prison.Though I’ve never been shot, I think it’s worse to have your house shot up and having innocent people at risk of catching strayz. Some rapperz have been shot, like 2Pac aka Mr. Makavelli - a true poet for whom I have tha up most respect and admiration. And although I haven’t had to experience tha horror of being shot, I can relate to rapperz who have been. My home bein’ shot up 3 times puts a lotta shit into perspective. And it’s a trip that I was in Las Vegas tha night 2Pac was shot up, cuz that turned out to be a night nobody would ever forget. I was there with my highschool football team for a game. After winning, we wanted to party it up on tha strip in the city lights. I had a bandana on, tied like Pac’s - and nobody wanted to walk along side of me cuz they thought that they’d get caught up in tha crossfire from a driveby. What a coincidence that 2Pac ended up gettin’ shot that night.A FEW MORALS & BELIEFS:Although I am a father of 2 kidz & would love to see them grow into wonderful individualz, I still feel that if I died 2 day my soul would be complete and able to R.I.P. Just havin’ tha family that I do is enough for me to be at peace, dead or alive. If it weren’t for my family, I’d be a lost soul.I don’t wish death and negativity upon anybody. I respect everyone and their ambitions to make somethin’ of themselves in this life. Life is a bitch and we gotta unite to help one another tackle it’s obstacles. I value my freedom and the freedoms of others. In my mind bein’ in jail is simply lost time. I strongly believe in tha "Man Upstairs" & know that only he can judge us. Jails and other products of tha judicial system are meaningless in
the heart of a man of true dignity. Institutions are society’s creations, not God’s.A peace of mind is much more important than paper chasin’. 2 my people who read this, please note that we shouldn’t be so wrapped up in tha materialistic bullshit that consumes us. In my music alone, I try not 2 focus on the material aspect of tha hip-hop world. Instead, the goal of my music is 2 heal the mindz of our fellow soldiers caught up in tha struggle of life - in this bitch ass world. After all, we are all born as innocent spirits. Our upbringing & tha situationz we face on the path 2 becoming adults is what makes us who we are.MY TEAM:"Upstairs Said So" is my 1st album. It was produced by Henri Brown, who has been in tha music industry 4 over 30 years. "H" (Henri Brown) is like a father figure 2 me. He’s taught me a lot about how 2 handle & portray myself in this business, without losin’ my head. 1 of tha most important pieces of advice he gave me was 2 only make this album if I had tha drive and desire 2 succeed with my own 2 hands - not relyin’ on otha major record labels to carry me on their backs. After hearin’ tha wise words of my producer, my response was "100% hell ya!" Henri Brown is tha 1st cousin of legendary platinum recording artist Jimmy Hendrix. Life is all about knowledge and dedication. I feel that I have a great team of brothas along side of me.I gotta plan to market tha music I produce & it’s more than likely you’ll see me slangin’ my cd’s on tha streetz with my own hands - tha true thuggish way. I plan to keep recordin’ & remain tru 2 tha game. But most of all I promise 2 stay tru at heart & tha streetz - pavin’ tha way for otha young Punjabi thugz in tha struggle.Much Luv & Peace,Thug Pun
