I know I'm late but I still wanted to inform you that Stomper, member of the infamous group Soldier Ink, passed away April, 2nd. Just a couple of weeks prior he posted a photo of himself being in the hospital due to a blood disease. My deepest condolences go to his family and friends! I was lucky enough to meet him in person at Lowrider Magazine ca show in Las Vegas back in 2006. His contribution to the game called Chicano Rap is massive and will live forever. His discography includes 2 Solder Ink albums, collaboration LPs with Spanky Loco and Conejo, various mixtapes and solo projects as well as a gang of compilations. He also started selling clothing through his official website onesickman76deep.com. Orders are still being processed so if you want to support you can still do so. On the website you'll also find some of his latest music. A gofundme to support the family can be reached by clicking here. R.I.P to Lonnie "Stomper" Mendoza!

If I remember correctly it was between 2011 to 2013 when the godfather of Chicano Rap, O.G Kid Frost, released 3 classic albums/ mixtapes called "All Oldies", "All Oldies 2" and "Old School Funk". These days the hard copies are harder and harder to get and if you are lucky to find one, you may have to pay one of the insane prices some Chicano Rap releases are going for these days. Back in 2014 Frost and Big Tank released a video for their song "Backstabaz" which is taken from "All Oldies 2" and which can been seen by clicking here. The good news is that all 3 titles were released to digital stores earlier this year, so if you haven't been able to pick up any of the CDs you can now just move over to the known dealers such as Amazon, iTunes or Tidal.
