This was a very productive and busy year in music for me personally. With Faygoluvers I was able to do 23 album reviews, that is a little less than 1 every 2 weeks! I was hoping for 2 a month so I missed that a little but I was so close. I also did Interviews with Gangsta Boo, Madchild, Adlib, Ganxsta NIP, Slaine, Zug Izland, Cryptic Wisdom, Mr Grey, Raz Simone, DJ Clay, Prevail, and Sozay. That is an average of 1 every month! Once again I could not have done any of that without Scottie D hooking it all up on Faygoluvers.net.
I also hosted another concert this year. It was Mr Grey and his "Warpath to the Gathering of the Juggalos" tour. It was a super small venue but the show was dope and all the artists threw down! I attended a ton of concerts and wrote reviews for Faygoluvers and I once again owe all that to Scottie D, James Wright, and a few others for the hookups on that.
In 2014 we saw Twiztid create Majik Ninja Entertainment and announce their first artists signed as Blaze and ROC. They have also announced they will be releasing an album called The Darkness on Jan 27, 2015. When their tour came through Tucson I had a chance to lead their street team and actually meet them for the first time since I was in the Homies video way back in the day. This year the label released it's first album Blaze Ya Dead Homie "Gang Rags: Reborn". In 2015 we have been told Twiztid will release "The Darkness" and "The moment You've All Been Waiting For" and re-releasing "W.I.C.K.E.D" and "Abominationz", R.O.C. "Digital Voodoo", and Blaze's next untitled album. I can safely say I am super excited to see what is coming next from the dynamic duo and MNE.
2014 saw Psychopathic Records release some bombs. They released AMB "The Garcia Brothers", Boondox "Abaddon", ABK "The Perfection Collection", Dark Lotus "The Mud, Water, Air, and Blood", Killjoy Club "Reindeer Games", ICP "20th Anniversary Hallowicked" "The First Six" box set, and "House of Wax". This was a much better year for Psychopathic than 2013 without a doubt. We also saw the Gathering moved to a new location. From all accounts it was a nice change and went off without a hitch. Coming up for them in 2015 we have been told albums from DJ Clay, DJ Paul, ABK, AMB, ICP, Otis, Big Hoodoo, Boondox, The Hav Nots, Vanilla Ice, Zug Izland, Legz & the purple gang, Rydas, and more are coming. But that is purely speculation.
2014 was a big year for Strange Music as well. They released Tech N9ne "Strtangeulation", Mayday and Murs "Mursday", Ces Cru "Codename: Ego Stripper", and Rittz "Next to Nothing". They went on a massive nationwide tour. Not much has been announced for 2015 yet except Tech N9ne "Special Effects" and K.A.B.O.S.H. "Amafrican Psycho".
All in all 2014 was a really good year for Underground Horrorcore and it's fans.
As I look forward into 2015 I would like to accomplish the following things with Faygoluvers:
1. Write and post at least 4 album reviews a month (1 major label & 1 independent artist every 2 weeks)
2. Continue interviewing artists and try to broaden our reach into other genres our fans are interested in (Metal, Rock, and Hip hop)
3. Make it to Dallas and ride to the Gathering with the Faygoluvers crew. Then make the Gathering as accessable to our fans as we can!
Personally I would love to do these things in music:
1. Host 2 concerts in Tucson.
2. Finish recording and release JV's album.
3. Work with artists I have worked with in the past to get production credits to add to my resume!
I have a feeling 2015 will be a dynamic and highly evolving thing this year. Faygoluvers is just starting and I project we will continue to dominate the internet coverage of all thing Underground. I also hope Juggalos can truely embrace what I know as "Family" and stop the division in the fan base. We are all in this together, artists and fans alike, and we need to have each others backs cause noone else will!
MMFWFL Family,

2012 Year of the Family
So Juggalo/Juggalettes we made it another year! Sorry I fell off the map but life got in the way. So what do we have to look forward to this year? Here is my list of things I am looking forward to this year:
1. The Dark Knight Rises! I have been looking forward to this since it was announced. Enough said.
2. The Mighty Death Pop. Newest ICP album should be out this year.
3. The Gathering of the Juggalos. Every year we look forward to it. Now with the IPPV I can actually see the performances without being there. That is one of the best additions Psychopathic gave us last year. One of these years I will make my trip to the Juggalo Mecca.
4. New Psychopathic Radio. Wathced the first Twiztid show and it was off the chain. Can't wait to see what is new there this year. Oh also our friends over at Faygoluvers got a segment on the show as well, much proprs to Scottie and all of the faygoluvers crew.
5. New music! Hopefully we get new Twiztid, Blaze, ICP, Boondox, Cold 187 and ABK. Love new music from all of psychopathic.
6. Psychopathic Psyphers. 3 have been released and the speculation is there will be 10 and an album. Love the idea behind these and can't wait to see how it turns out.
7. The latest additionsto Psychopathic Records are Vanilla Ice and the West Coast sensation Cold 187 AKA Big Hutch, formerly of Above The Law! He is being marked as The Psychopathic Assassin! Can't wait to see where he fits in.
8. Joe Strange. Formally Eminem's producer is now a full member of the Psychopathic Family. We will see what doors it opens for collabs we might not expect.
Now I am looking forward to the 22nd of this month first and fore most because I and 5 other los and lettes will be hitting up Lubbock, TX to see the Low down and Dirty tour with Boondox! I would love to sit down with him and catch a quick interview to post here but I am not sure that would even be possible. If I can figure out how I will definitely post it here. I plan to update this blog on at least a weekly basis to keep you all up to date or just give shout outs as needed.
Gotta give a few shout outs right now to Scottie D and Ian over at Faygoluvers hit your site daily and look forward to seeing if we can do some stuff together this year, Draztik the Terrible Keep moving player and you will find the right studio to record from, and all the Juggalos and Juggalettes keep your head up and don't let anyone influence how you handle your business. We might be the outcast or whatever but it is us who can change the image and perceptions everyone else has of our family.
I wish you all a wondeful 2012 and look forward to expanding this blog and hopefully being a go to source for local west Texas/New Mexico underground artists.

First ever CD review Twiztid Cryptic Collection Vol. 4
So here is something new from me an actual review of a newly released CD from Psychopathic Records. I chose Twiztid's newest release Cryptic Collection Vol 4! Here is how I am going to do this, I am going to go track by track giving my thoughts and then a short ending with my overall opinion with a score out of 10. I plan to go back over all the releases this year and also include my review of the American Psycho tour cd. So here we go:
Twiztid Cryptic Collection 4 Track List:
Lil Poot & Big Stank - Majik Majik Ninja- Nice way to open a cd. Not to deep just Twiatid having fun in the studio.
Lil Poot & Big Stank - Big Money- Instant classic. They made Big Money Hustlas and this track is no different. Very humor filled.
My Addiction - with Mike E. Clark- Origionally on Psychopathics from outer space 3. Great song. A look inside the minds of the demented duo. Add in Mike E Clark and what else could you need.
Need Some Help - with Mike E. Clark, Prozak, Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko- This is off the Fright Fest 05 CD. Anything Twiztid does with Tech N9ne is devistating. Love the track.
Speculationz - with E40- Track off the Green Book. Not one of my favorites but still a good track
Gimme More - with ICP- First new track on this CD. Nice track. It is always good when the two groups team up. Different styles of course but a nice addition. I absolutely love the music and slow flow of this song.
Hell On Earth- Off the End of Days EP. Great song. A lot more Rock and metal than most Twiztid tracks but still not completely out of the scope of what they normally do.
Wild Out- Second new track this time with ROC. Great combo. HOK in the house on this one.
Hold On To Me- Another End of Days tour CD pick here. Nice song and with the Scarcrow on it it is nothing less than awesome.
Yuwannahoe- From Psychopathics from outer space part 2. Interesting thing here is that even though Esham still does the intro he has been removed from the track. I know they have had beef and I guess it is understandable.
Monster Inside - with Prozak- Prozak adds a nice touch here. I like how Twiztid can rap on almost any beat. Weird chorus but very eerie.
Wake Up - with ABK and The ROC- From the Fright Fest 03 EP. Along the same lines as other Twiztid tracks. Sounds like something cut from The Green Book.
If They Don't Come For Me- Slower beat. Nice track that I have not ever heard before.
Hell Ride - with Violent J- Off the End of Days EP. Awesome track. Very dark sound.
Prey For Us- Fast tempo but still Twiztid.
Zombie- Ready for the Zombie Apocolypse? This song is all about it. Once again sounds like a song that belongs on The Green Book.
Moonlight- One of the more skitzo tracks on the album. Great verses and very slow chorus.
All in all this is one of the better compilation cd's they have put out. There were enough new tracks to be worth the money. I am a fan of actually buying the cd to support the artists so I don't download tracks. Twiztid has made a very nice effort to give you a lot of music for the money. If you love Twiztid you will love the cd. If you have never heard them before check it out you wont be disappointed.
Album rating: 8.5 of 10
I have more reviews coming so let me know if you like it or what you would like to see change.
