Yesterday marked another sad day in Chicano Rap's history as it was announced that Toker aka Mr. Brownside past away. A statement on his official Instagram page reads like this: "On behalf of the Brownside family we regret to inform you our brother, father, husband and friend Toker has passed away. Please respect the family and let them mourn in peace.". My condolences go out to his family and friends! His music will live with us forever including countless classic Chicano Rap jams such as "Do Or Die", "Eastside Drama", "Vatos In The Varrio", "Rest In Peace" and many more. R.I.P Gilbert "Toker" Izquierdo!

During the week we had the possiblity to sit down with rapper Mr. Junebug who released his 4th studio album "Runnin' Outta Time" August, 1st. For sure you get to know what you can expect from the new record but that's by far not all. Other topics that are getting touched include the reason why he has taken a break from the Chicano Rap game, when you can expect his debut album "Sittin In The Park" to hit digital stores, his opinion about the owner of Familia Records, Murry Brumfiled, and many more. If you ask me it's an interesting interview which can be found in the interviews section or directly on YouTube by clicking here.
