CAME FROM NOTHING

TICIAN 47 HUNCHO

Huncho is a leader or manager; the person in charge.

Do you remember the 80’s television shows “Different Strokes” staring “Todd Bridges” and “Gary Coleman”? Two orphaned African American kids adopted by a wealthy Caucasian man Mr. Drummond and his daughter Kimberly Dana Plato. As kids wished that we could have been dealt the hand of these two kids, just to escape our own reality, Right? In reality though as kids, we are not given a choice of what type of families we are born into. For many young African American children, we are born with parents from all walks of life. With no choice in the matter, we learn to play the hands we have been dealt, growing up in certain types of environments kids either learn to how to duck and dodge or follow suite!

Tician 47 Huncho was born November 26, during the 80’s in Stop 6 a known urban area in Fort Worth, Texas. His father a hustler from Stop 6 and his mother, raised on the Southside, a city employee. Tician was raised in a two-bedroom house with a total of 11 people. 47 Huncho is one of seven children. When he was in the 2^nd grade the family relocated to Forest Hill, a suburb in Fort Worth. 47 Huncho’s family, as we say today, “They about that life! In African American communities it’s sometimes hard not be influenced. 47 Huncho’s life has its twists and turns just as many other African American young men experience. Determined not to succumb to the negative influences of the hood. He discovered his passion for music. Listening to local Funky Town artists Twisted Black, Six Deuce, Yung Doob, Saucy Lab and the Legendary Tupac, sparked 47 Huncho’s interest in becoming a rapper. After dodging a few catastrophes he decided to become a Rap Artist. 2003 marks the year that 47 Huncho professionally began his career as an artist. Early on in his career, he discovered that he is a great writer so he started to allow his music to motivate him. During the Trap Squad Cartel and Paper Chase era is when Tician 47 Huncho dropped his very 1^st single “I Smell Money”. He is currently signed to Paper Chase Music Group and One of 1 Management. He raps real street music or what many refer to as “Trap Music”. Recently he put a video into rotation for his song “I Got ’em”, a video shot by Nepheworld! He will be dropping a second video “#FWARN” later this month for his new album CAME FROM NOTHING (set to drop in late November).

Tician 47 Huncho has worked with H-Town SUC Don Ke (Lili Ke Ke), Dallas DSR Tum Tum, Big Chief, T-Cash, and the legendary Death Row artist Yung Doob just to name a few. Currently, Huncho and his team have been making moves to build his brand. The primary focus is his music and making his presence known through social media and the internet period. Although excited about dropping his new album there have been some trials and tribulations with getting it completed, which is why he says, “this album will be one of my best projects ever”.

Huncho is striving to become more than just an underground Fort Worth artist. He pushes himself so that 4700 Music can become mainstream. Evolving, however, takes a lot of hard work, patience, persistence, and perseverance. Gifted with writing not only rap but R&B and Soul as well, Huncho plans to use his skills and experience to motivate the streets to become “highways to different avenues for the progression as a black race”. In the near future, 4700 Music and One of 1 Management plans to be mainstream.

Tician 47 Huncho is big on supporting the black community, There will always be young soldiers in the hood, looking to escape a prison sentence, or tragic death that is in need for the predecessors to reach back and help them to reach their highest potential. “Each One Teach One” so to speak!

Quoted from Tician 47 Huncho, “I know we came from nothing, but our worth is everything.. I want to see my people win.”

DJ Tuss

Perseverance is striving through all difficulties and obstacles.

Think back to grade school when the teacher asked that famous question “Boys & Girls! What do you want be when you grow up?” In return there would be replies, “I want to be a fireman, policeman, doctor, lawyer, teacher, or a superstar,” just to name a few. This is a story about one young man’s determination to make it no matter what!

DJ Tuss was born September 15, 1981 in Chicago Illinois, he dreamed of becoming a rapper, and discovered that he had a knack for writing rhymes, but when it came to spitting his lyrics his God brother and his friends was not feeling him. Because of Tuss’s love for music and hip-hop, he was determined at breaking into the industry. Tuss found him-self intrigued with spinning as well. He started buying up singles on vinyl and watching the famous (Kid Capri spin records for Def Jam Comedy). In 1997 confident that he’d mastered the skill of spinning he assumed the name DJ Tuss and never looked back! In 2000 DJ Tuss would professionally start spinning and moving the crowds at a variety of venues.

DJ Tuss normally spins for urban crowds (Upscale urban, urban strip clubs, back packer concerts, special radio events), anything geared towards the urban cultural. He mainly listens to hip-hop, R&B, and soul, but many people are not aware that he jams to a lot of gospel music also. In 2003 DJ Tuss bought his style of spinning to Fort Worth, he is known for being a breakout DJ, getting his hands on songs early and being a part of breaking a lot of songs first. The song he broke out first that made it big in the market was (HomeGirl).

Several artists have been blessed with opportunity of having DJ Tuss breakout their music:

Take Me To Jail ( Willie C. Feat Rocko)

Fiya ( Gata Gang Jaio)

Swag Surfin ( F.L.Y Fast Life Yungstaz)

Wrong Nigga Money (Johnny Cinco)

Boom (Go YaYo)

Come Up Out Her (Willstrumentals)

Ready (Trouble)

Lobby (DidiNorm Feat Tommy 2

Just to name a few.

DJ Tuss has been persevering and pushing out a bunch of his mixes.

Here are some links to his last mixes:

DJ Tuss has established relationships with big labels including Def Jam, Epic, Atlantic, E1, and many others, he is also a member of the largest DJ Coalition in the world (Core DJ’s) and a member of two of the Tuss most influential coalitions in the country (Definition DJ and Cool Runnings).

He has a tape with Trouble from Atlanta coming soon tapes with Johnny Cinco, Smoke Dean, and a few more. DJ Tuss has given Fort Worth strip clubs an identity, and, advocates to get Fort Worth treated as equals in the DFW music scene. DJ Tuss started spinning records in Dallas clubs that other DJs were scared to play, with the demeanor of “stand for something or fall for anything” he rocks every crowd placed in front of him, Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas and anywhere else that he is invited to spin.

He is a big fan of basketball and enjoys playing the game for fun nothing professional, he also enjoys swimming and he still sometimes writes, DJ Tuss desires to become the most influential DJ in the country, currently his goal is to land a full time spot on a major radio station and become the best radio show in Texas.

SWEET BENNIE RAY

The Voice of the Streets

The definition of a legend is an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field.

On August 24^th in Lakenheath, England the birth of a future Legend took place Bennie Ray Deshone Jr. Better known as Sweet Bennie Ray (BIG BEN) 8 weeks later he would bless Fort Worth, Texas with his presence.

After that, he was hooked and took off running with his love and passion for music and the rap game.

Sweet Bennie Ray considered by many as the voice of the streets, has been an artist since 1997 best known for being a member of The Rally Boys Legendary Texas Rap Group and his label “SWEET MUSIC”. Growing up listening to the (Legendary Scarface), 8 Ball, MJG, & UGK (Bun B and the late great PIMP C) and being raised by a real, and independent woman influenced Sweet Bennie Ray with CHARM, FINESSE, REALNESS and THE GIFT OF GAB meaning “the ability to speak easily and confidently in a way that makes people want to listen to you and believe you”. When Sweet Bennie Ray speaks through his music people listen and are still listening for his unique sound, which by the way is extremely different from most artists you hear theses days.

BLACK AMERICA/STATE OF EMERGENCY

Posted on July 3, 2016 by CConn D Icon

Posted in Articles, Cconn D Icon, Real Shit Leave a comment

So lately I’ve been receiving a lot of resistance from other blacks on my journey to spread truth, knowledge and shed light on our hidden history as well as acknowledge the long lasting affects of our ugly but factual past here in America. It seems as though most African Americans today would rather ignore the long term affects of all the horrible things that have happened to us here on American soil and to a degree I understand. However, if we are ever to get things going in the right direction and progress as blacks, we must first acknowledge the true roots of our problems. If you don’t think SLAVERY, RACISM, INEQUALITY, WHITE SUPREMACY, POLITICAL CORRUPTION, JUDICIAL CORRUPTION, FINANCIAL INEQUALITY & CORRUPTION, MASS INCARCERATION, THE CRACK EPIDEMIC, THE HEROINE EPIDEMIC AS WELL AS THE ASSASSINATIONS OF ALL/MOST OF OUR GREAT, BLACK LEADERS AND OTHER PRO BLACK LEADERS has everything, and I repeat EVERYTHING, to do with the state of black America today you’re ignorant and lost. We have to STOP BLAMING OUR SELVES for our conditions and place more of the blame where it truly belongs, which is squarely on racism, white supremacy and financial/economic inequality.

The most popular response is one that hovers around accountability and taking responsibility for our own actions and the repercussions that follow but what about that long list of premeditated, circumstantial traps that we had absolutely no control over??? What about this huge, tangled web of deception, lies, setups, setbacks, and flat out disdain that African Americans have had to endure???

I see a crippling divide between the blacks who are comfortable or financially stable and blacks who struggle and live in or close to poverty. The lucky few who can afford to pay their bills and maybe even have a little left over don’t believe that there’s really an issue worth talking about today but the harsh reality is that many of them are flirting along poverty lines and just don’t realize how fragile their seemingly secure financial situations truly are.

This situation is not a scrape on the knee that can be easily bandaged and healed. This situation, although painful and complex, must be acknowledged then unraveled.

Catch me next time and I’ll reveal a plan of action that will absolutely began the healing process. NO MORE FEEL GOOD SPEECHES WITHOUT ATTAINABLE SOLUTIONS!!!
