Familia. A group banded together by tradition, lineage, characteristics, occupation or origin. In the volatile and unpredictable path of life, sometimes all there really is at the end of the day is family.
Entourages and crews appear and dismantle faster than wildfire, but only a strong unit can withstand the fickle and tumultuous road of this business of entertainment. Almost like the pages out of some epic storybook, five determined men united after battling injustice, poverty, incarceration, death and everything in between. As an ensemble, they again faced tragedy with the murder of one of their own, but just like a true squadron, this Dipset offspring triumphed over the insurmountable odds steadily stacked against them.
Here to resurrect the raw, nitty gritty definition of hip-hop are the untouchables: Jim Jones, Chink Santana,Mel Matrix, NOE and Freekey Zekey. Welcome to the Byrd Gang. And right they are. After the undeniable chart reign of Jim Jones We Fly High last year, Byrd Gang is gearing up for the similar takeover of the industry. Slated for a June release, their self-titled debut gives a glimpse into the lyrical genius and colorful lives of these band of five. On the heels of his success with Hustler's P.O.M.E , a new clothing line, documentary, reality show, independent film and a solo artist deal, 31-year-old Jones is the quintessential leader of this literal army.
