Q-VO Markie Boy, You are more than welcome for my support. Thank you for making
some good music. I look forward to hearing your new work. I have been checking out
brown pride online for a couple of years and ordered a CD from them. They sent an
advertisement for The Ollin Project and I purchased it right away. It's a great album and
I especially like your track. I played it during I talk I gave at an "Hispanic" Heritage
Month Celebration in Fort Collins, CO. I'm doing my best to promote the best of
Chicano rap music. I am a professor of sociology and ethnic studies and in every class I
have students to listen to rap and read articles about it. I have also written a few articles
on Chicano rap and want to learn more about it, the rappers like yourself and its history.
I grew up in rap and hip hop culture. I started listening to rap in 1980. Soon after I
became a breakdancer. In college I got caught up in Chicano and other politics and left
hip hop alone. About five years ago I started to listen to it again. It's too important to
our youth, as you know, to not think about it and understand the importance and power
of rap. That's why I research it and givetalks about it when I can. anyway, take care bro.
Keep making that music.
