There's a new movement stirring up on the streets of Miami-Dade County. What is set to be one of the biggest and boldest movements in the rap game, will become a force to be reckoned with. The Miami-Dade County supergroup that consists of P-DoE of the Luna Empire, future MMA superstar Level of 1219, and Black of 3re Da Hardaway come together in a melting pot to form N.W.C., Negroes With Chicos. In a city where talent comes a million, talent like this only comes once in a lifetime. P-DoE been in the rap game for more than a decade. Known to be DJ Khaled's first artist, and mentored by one of Hip-Hop's legends, KRS-One, P-DoE is making his mark in the game. Born in the Boogie Down, P-DoE came to the bottom in the early 90's to find his way into the industry. "Hooking up with DJ Khaled was a good experience, it showed me how to really grind. His [Khaled] grind was so ridiculous, it made my grind 10 times as ridiculous". Being Khaled's first artist, P-DoE was able to meet and greet some of Dade's elite. Having worked with big artists such as KRS-One, Fat Joe, the late great Big Pun, Pitbull, JT Money, Piccalo, Cool & Dre, just to name a few. As far as the underground scene goes, there isn't enough space on the internet to list P-DoE's accomplishments. P-DoE is in the process of wrapping up a KRS-One and P-DoE album, called "Teacher and Student". Along with a Piccalo and P-DoE album dubbed "Uh Oh!", the P-DoE solo banger "The Golden Child", and to inflict pain on the game, the N.W.C. project is set to drop in line. "One thing I know, 2010 belongs to P-DoE!" boasts the Dominican hustler. The game is getting ready to feel something new. Like it or not. Rap has always been associated with gangs and violence. Okay, so it might be that rappers tend to associate with gangs, and gangs associate with violence, but put that on a grill, sprinkle a positive outcome, and you got Level 1219. Known around Miami as, just that, Level, Rene Martinez is no stranger to street life. As featured on the cover of this month's Miami New Times, Level is a legend around these parts. With a promising future in the MMA ring (with an undefeated street record of 8-0), Level is expanding his talents into the music industry. Level, who for many years ran the Latin Syndicate family, has now turned his life over to God. Although his music will depict what he has been through; the gunfights, the drugs, the women, etc. one thing is accounted for: Level been there. After years of earning his stripes and establishing his credibility, he is finally on the right path. Fame doesn't come easy for any newcomer in this game, but with the name like Level ringing bells throughout the streets on many different 'levels', acheiving this fame we all seek, will not be a hard task for this dude. "Level that nigga out!", keep a close eye for it. The word legend has many definitions, one says a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition, while another says a person who is the center of such stories. Well, in this legend's case, his story is VERY verifiable and WILL make history. Black Da Hardaway is a Dade County legend. And 3re Da Hardaway stand as one of Dade's monumental group. In 1999, all of Dade and damn near all of the east coast was chanting "born in da ghetto, rasied in da hood". With their debut album, Under Construction selling close to 100,000 units out the trunk, the trio knew what they had to do. Black, Ced, and B.O.X. grinded harder than a broke stripper on payday on the pole. Having 5 songs produced by the Under Ground King Pimp-C, the team kept it cool for the time being. In 2004, Black released what seemed to be a shot at Dade's own Trick Daddy, with the track "U Ain't No Thug", although Black says "I was talking in general, but niggas took it like I was talking to Trick", no altercations arose from that. "The Miami movement need improvement, and I'm the muthafucking improvement", a confident Black says. With 8 different projects in the works, "Beware of da Rippa" and "Miami Life" are just a couple of names. Miami Life includes guest appearances by Desloc from Piccalo, GT40, and clique member P-DoE. As for the rest of the competition that Dade has to offer, confident as all ever, Black says "Alotta known artists thats reppin' Miami, they ain't finna see the new year. They career gone be over before the new year. Hahah!". There you have it my friends, I told you this movement was something serious. In case you haven't picked up on it yet, catch up. Negroes With Chicos is something to check for. And these niggas you just read about don't even make up one third of what this team has to offer. With heat coming out the kitchen from Piccalo, JT Money, Dirt, D-Cell, Timbo, and Lil'Rip. With all these powerful DJ's signing talent from all of Florida, it's time for Dade County to show what we got. The Dade movement is stirring something up, we just want to know one thing: CAN YOU FEEL THAT? Shoutouts to all of Dade County, to my brother KRS-One, the whole Luna Empire, the entire 1219 Family, and to the entire Liberty City and Overtown. And last but not least, special shoutout to Downtown 10th Floor Studios, and to my brother Oscar, it's almost time baby! WE DA BLESSED!
