FA$E BIOGRAPHY

FA$E was born Chamar Goodwin, in Atlantic City, N.J. Of Mother Joann Goodwin Locklear he grew up in East New York “Brooklyn”. He was introduced to the music industry at a young age by his father, D Ski of Bushwick & East New York Brooklyn. By the age of 13, FA$E constantly did what was needed to survive the streets of Brooklyn many could contest. He was well known for his loyalty and taken care of his people. FA$E, eventually left the cold streets of Brooklyn to see what the world had to offer. That’s when he joined the U.S. Navy. Music had to be put on hold as FA$E had to serve his country by doing 2 Tours of Duty in Iraq. While in Iraq, he realized life is too short when you’re talking to one person one day and the next day they‘re gone. Due to the lost of his Grandmother, who was a major inspiration in his life by teaching him that, “He has No Limits in Life, Only those that he set for himself”, FA$E was sent back a few weeks early to bury her. Remembering his lessons his Grandmother taught him fueled his passion to make it in the industry.
Upon return home FA$E decided to pick back up his talent and take it to the next level. He began working on his 1st indie project titled “TORMOIL”. Unfortunately that project was never put out. That situation only added fuel to the fire in FA$E's eyes and he would be known and respected as an artist in the game. FA$E eventually made his way to feature on four Emperors Mixtapes prior to the ending of 08' and in Jan 09', featured on DJ Gemstar of Shady Ville Records Mixtape titled “ The Piff Report”, With the likes of Jadakiss, 50 Cent, Eminem and others; FA$E has also appeared on the cover of Heard Magazine in Jan 08, in place of major artist Yung Berg. This is promoted around the country by Naja Promotions. He was also able to shoot 5 videos. FA$E is definitely making his mark in the underground industry. He has even been able to return to his home state of N.Y. to the “Get your Buzz up” showcase sponsored by Jhatch in Feb. 08 to compete against many artist and place 3rd. In the Summer of 09 FA$E decided to leave uncle sam and persue his music career. Not long after he returned to home to perform at "Get Connected," in N.Y at Quad Studio and landed a Digital distribution deal with Mogul Meetings. He also began his own label "Faseworld Entertainment" With long time friend Sherod Melvin aka KRYSE and has began a very successful socail network. (faseworld.ning.com). Jan 09 FA$E once again landed on a magazine cover as well as completed his first indie Album "The Reconstruction" . With solid production, a distinct voice, powerful lyrics , and top notch writing skills along with a mellow swag that appeals to all fans old and young and the looks to fit the image. FA$E is ready to shine as the next Hip-Hop star, are you ready to hear someone new? I hope so, because FA$E is not going to stop till he gets to the top!

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol 7 by DJ Gneous

Ali J Review: Ride out Wit Da Gneous Vol 7

As always, yall know I’m about quality in music!! So of course every time I’m listening to a mix I get my jam on, don’t get me wrong, but at times too WE all have to take the time to step back & think about the music that we listen to. Music is a strong tool & it influences well, but Volume 7 did aim to please!

I have to say the beats & the transitions were definitely on point throughout the mix DJ Gneous always leave you wanting more. I will say though lyrically I was not too impressed with the majority of the artists but I surely did get my head bobbin on. Depending on your day & what you’re looking for flavor wise, you can be all about base, vibe & transition or you could be all about receiving a teaching within the lyrics it’s all in your taste. Either way, for me, listening to DJ Gneous, I get me satisfaction!

Love, Peace & Respect

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol 6 by DJ Gneous

Ali J Review: Ride out Wit Da Gneous Vol 6

I have to tell yall, when I “rode” out with DJ Gneous on his Vol 6 mix I must have been in a trance for the whole 18 minutes of the mix, & I had to listen to it again after I played it the 1^st time, LOL! The lyrics from each artist was hot & well put together & combined by the DJ. There was not a dull song in this mix & it kept my full attention!!

Depending on the person & their taste along with the type of day there having, some people have certain “acquired listening structures”. Basically what I mean is, some people just listen to music for the “hype factor” especially if they had a long day. Some listen potentially to hear one of their hot hits so on & so forth. For me however, combining & collaborating mixes, I’m always listening to the whole, especially with the lyrics cause as you know, REAL ARTISTS GOT REAL SHIT TO SAY & THAT’S WHERE THE ESSENCE IS. So when listening to this mix, get the true taste of the vibe that DJ Gneous is putting out there, understand that he just didn’t just “throw” some songs together. When you understand his concept, then you can really “ride” out with substance!!

Love, Peace & Respect

Indie Artist Of The Week

CAIN represents the Southeast Side of Chicago, but puts on for hip-hop as a culture. He was best known for throwing parties as a strike against boredom and an outlet for his crew’s music. Using his God given sense Cain took this attitude with him across the country to do parties and shows. Fast forwarding to the present CAIN has been grinding nonstop performing with some of Hip-Hop’s newest and hottest artist including Kanye West Artist GLC, Wiz Khalifa, The Cool Kids, Pac Div, Anton Genius, DJ Neil Armstrong. CAIN was also allowed the privilege to perform for Hip-Hop Mogul Russell Simmons at his 2002 Youth Hip Hop Summit in Ohio. With his fluid style he’s took the best from the best to create CAIN. “I got mad love for Jay- Z , in a way his music saved my life. Notorious B.I.G showed me what Confidence is, Common taught me to have pride and Kanye taught me to be persistent”. I rap from both angles where I come from and where I want to be, the dark and the understanding side of the street life and what you have to do to escape it. I am ridiculously versatile because I’ve been through so much”. CAIN has also performed at number of spots and festivals including Abbey’s Pub, Elbo Room, 

CMJ Festival NYC, Subterranean, Water for Children CA, The Wild Hare, and U.S. Beer Company. “Hip-Hop means everything to me I believe it is my life my culture, it’s my world. It is the voice of our people. It’s the music of the struggle. I love Hip-Hop for real. Without God and Hip Hop I wouldn’t be me”.

Down On Me (remix) by DJ Gneous

 

Ali J’s Music Review: DJ Gneous “Down on Me” Remix

This was a song I had not heard in a while. Now with all the good jams that we hear on the radio, we get the DJs’ who put their own spin to them. Some of them come out on top, no doubt, others, well not so much.

I like the remix that Gneous did with this song, made it fresh, especially when you completely forgot that a song existed & then you’re like “damn” this was my cut, lol!!! As I have said before DJ Gneous has a unique style of mixing music, sounds & lyrics. He stays consisted with the times, but brings the flavor of old school hip-hop to the forefront!!

I am truly thrilled about this mix, bringing a fresh vibe to an old club favorite!! Surely you will have to listen to this mix a few times while you’re going forward with your day. It will keep you upbeat to finish out your day strong!!!

Love, Peace & Respect,

Many people came to me asking if I could change the words to English in the French parts, my answer to that was that my point of being different and me as an artist period is to show who I am from the get go! This is where I'm from!"

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol5

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol 5 by DJ Gneous
 

Ali J’s Music Review: Ride out Wit Da Gneous Vol. 5

When I listened to DJ Gneous’s latest mix, ‘Ride out With Da Gneous Vol.5’, INSTANTLY I flashed back to my childhood my hood where music was the only sanctuary that brought me peace in a world of confusion. Lyrically, the collaboration of artists and their bars brought competition that I haven’t heard in a long time! These artists brought it on this mix & brought passion, of course that’s something you don’t hear with today’s mainstream artists. The 3 factors of their rap: MONEY, FAME, ASS! This mix speaks volumes, bringing today’s issues to the spotlight mixed with a 90’s feel of beats, sounds & scratches, the days when music was music, when artists could express themselves in more ways than one.

If you’re looking for that music with substance, that can withhold attention & bring out creativity, then surely this is the mixtape you need to hear! “Failure is not an option, Success is just a process”, this is encouragement that needs to be heard to encourage the generations who have lost hope! These are lyrics of true hip hop, words of the next generation, and thoughts of the poets of our time. CLEAR, CONCISE REALITY: just 3 of the words I would use to describe this mix. I was actually able to feel, & understand these artists & their background, I had the ability to break down & listen, ACTUALLY listen to these artists break down their emotions & sincerity to master their craft while stating the truth!

Of course there is no question to DJ Gneous’s artistry & ability to bring a mix full of wisdom & full of dedicated artists. This is the raw, uncut hip-hop that has been absent from today’s radio stations, mp3 players, IPods & Droids phones. This is the hip-hop that is frowned upon by bullshit politics & officials who hide behind their piles of money & shadows of devious destruction. If you are a true artist, poet, hip-hop listener or even just seeking raw reality, RAISE THOSE FUCKIN SPEAKERS UP: YOU JUST FOUND YOUR MUSIC SANCTUARY!!

Love, Peace & Respect,

Ali Joseph

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol4

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol4 by DJ Gneous

Ali J’s Music Review: Ride out Wit Da Gneous Vol. 4

In this mix, it is undeniable that the hip-hop feel is there, however I really didn’t get my complete adrenalin until 7 minutes into the mix, not that the first 2 music mixes was horrible, just at the beginning, I didn’t feel the tempo (different ears may have a different perspective, don’t shoot me).

One of the songs that really caught my ears was “When I Fly, You Fly, We Fly Together”. The tempo, beat & bars hit all at the right times, bringing the flavor HARD! When you listen to music, especially hip-hop, it goes beyond the lyrics: the base, tones & transitions all have to be in tact especially when it comes to a mix. This is just one of many of DJ Gneous’s mixes that truly shows that with all of the experience he has acquired, he has mastered music connection with the authentic hip-hop listening ear (noticed I said AUTHENTIC hip-hop listeners, lol).

The mix may not have been the strongest at the beginning, but the end went “BOOM”, straight in my ear drums. I mean DAMN ya boy had a message he needed to express! His bars were RIDICULOUS, hip-hop at its finest!! All I have to say is that when you get into this mix, you will get your rush of hip-hop artistry whether you’re at work, headed home, picking up the kids, or if you’re like me, bumping these true words first thing in the morning to start your day! Whatever & however you get you hip-hop rush, start it off & end it with some DJ Gneous to get your maximum exposure!!

Love, Peace & Respect,

Ali Joseph

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol3

Ride Out Wit Da Gneous Vol 3 by DJ Gneous

Ali J’s Music Review: Ride out Wit Da Gneous Vol. 3

To me, any time is a great time for a great hip-hop mix, however when I listened to this Vol. 3 it got me thinking about a position I use to have a couple years ago, a bad position might I add. This surely would be one of those afternoon mixes that I would surely fuck with taking a lunch break! From beginning to end the choices of music were off the chain! A bit of hardcore with a taste of romantic & a side of feeling right is what I would use to describe this mix. Even though I would have not felt like going back to work, I would have been in a better mood & ready to finish off the day.

DJ Gneous has a unique style of mixing which shows in the work that he does. In this mix, he plays a really hot twist to Michael Jackson’s Human Nature which not too many people can do well with Michael’s songs & music & the artist flowed extremely well with the sound! This is the type of artistry that separates the “sayers” from the “doers”. When you ask DJ Gneous to bring it, expect him to go beyond & above what you ask of his music sense.

In the mindset of a TRUE hip-hop listener & fan, you hear a story whether similar to yours or not, either way somehow you can relate, understand, break it down & use the lyrics being spitted to you. There is surely a difference between Rap & Hip-Hop. DJ Gneous’s Vol. 3 mix IS the definition of that difference.

Love, Peace & Respect,

Ali Joseph

Ali J’s Music Review: In Deez Streets Mixtape Vol 1 Hosted by DJ Gneous

Skills, sound, base & a whole lot of flavor are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe this mix. There is something for everyone on this mix, whether you’re in your hustle mode or you’re in the car with you boo or just in the mood to hear some great lyrics & want to raise those had the hell up!! The different sounds & vibes really made this mix unique & to me that stands out when I’m listening to a mix!

Variation & transitions are extremely important in creating & developing a mix and when choosing the songs to play. In this mix, you can tell that there was a careful attention to detail with the songs chosen. Each time a song ended, I wanted more & wanted to keep going the feel was hot. A little bit of reggae was even apart of the mix (I LOVE reggae so for me it was hot!!!).

If you really take out time to listen to mixes, the beat, the choice of music & the transitions, you can really see which DJ’s really take pride in their work and have true passion for their craft & see the DJ’s who just put something together. I don’t know about yall, but I know that if I’m throwing a hot party & wanting to be the talk of the town, then I’m going to play the hottest shit! Much love!!

Love, Peace & Respect
