Despite seeing the bad news earlier today I'm still in shock that Chicano Rap (not just Rap) legend Payaso passed away due to a heart failure. When it comes to his own music he's well known for his classic "Cruising Oldies" series as well as his album "True Blue" which was released by Low Profile Records. When he was active he brought you nothing but O.G Chicano Rap. His last album "Gang Signs" was released in 2020. Besides his own music let's not forget that he and his family were also responsible for Teen Angels Magazine, Teen Angels Records, surenorap.com, chicanorap2g.com, Latin Rap Magazine and a store in Fontana. For those who haven't heard it yet, here's an interview I did with him back in the day. My condolences go out to his wife, his children, his family and his friends. R.I.P Payaso, gone but not forgotten, your music will be with us. His contribution to the game and lifestyle cannot be praised enough. Thank you!
