Album Notes

PAYASO BORN & RAISED IN CALIFORNIA, HIS FATHER WAS NONE OTHER THAN FAMED CHOLO ARTIST & MAGAZINE EDITOR "TEEN ANGEL". GROWING UP IN RIALTO, CALIFORNIA PAYASO WAS RAISED IN A GOOD HOME IN A STRICT FAMILY ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER THE THRILL OF THE GANGSTER LIFE ATTRACTED PAYASO & BY AGE 15 HE WAS KICKED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL & HAD JOINED UP WITH A NOTORIOUS LOCAL STREET GANG FROM NEIGHBORING SAN BERNARDINO. AT THE TIME HIS FELLOW FRIENDS & GANG MEMEBERS WERE INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES & MANY OF HIS ASSOCIATES WERE IMPRISONED & MURDERED. AT AGE 19 PAYASO BECAME A FATHER & SLOWED DOWN HIS GANG ACTIVITY, INSTEAD TRYING NEW HOBBIES SUCH AS LOWRIDING & RAP MUSIC. DUE TO PAYASO'S BUSINESS SENSE & STREET TIES HE HAD RISEN TO FAME QUICKLY IN HIS HOMETOWN AREA OF THE INLAND EMPIRE & WHILE DOING CAR SHOWS & CONCERTS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHWEST & WITH THE HIS WEBSITE SURENORAP.COM PAYASO & TEEN ANGELS RECORDS HAVE PROVEN TO BE A STAPLE IN THE RAPIDLY GROWING LATIN RAP MARKET & HAS SET TRENDS FOR MANY UP & COMING ARTISTS IN HIS GENRE.

HIS CRUISING OLDIES COLLECTION IS A PERFECT MIX OF PAYASO'S SMOOTH GANGSTER RAPS OVER FIRME BEATS INSPIRED BY THOSE OLDIES BUT GOODY JAMS FROM OUR PAST WE GREW UP LISTENING TO, WHILE LOWRIDING ON THE BOULEVARD, OR JUST HANGING OUT WITH HOMIES & FAMILIA IN THE BARRIO.
