Cory Gunz says he’s “ready”

November 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Straight for his mouth:
“I’m happy to be here at a good, terrific stage in my life. I think I’m at a show and prove stage. At some point in peoples careers, they find this point to be pressured. But I’m ready- I’ve never been this ready before.”
From an interview at Big Boot radio/Crescent City Radio. Also talks about upcoming projects, Shaq/Koby diss, and spits a quick freestyle.

Musictomarketing.com Shows love for Trifecta

April 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Thanks to Johnny over at MusictoMarketing.com (M2M for short) has written a really positive Preview of TRIFECTA presents Paasky & Sanchez: The SIKKIS.
Shout out to Coco and Freret!
M2M previews Trifecta

Trifecta was the first hip hop group that I interviewed here at M2M. The Trifecta mix tape is finally here. I was able to listen to it thanks to my roommate AKA Rockwell, who left a copy sitting in the common room. To be honest, I had very high expectations because I know how hard Rockwell has been working on this project and I have to say that I was blown away on all levels: beats, lyrics, production, etc. With their second project already underway, I see nothing but big things happening for this trio.

The group recently had a guest appearance on Crescent City Radios’ The Hip Hop Hour. Trifecta played some tracks for listeners and talked about The Sikkis and their upcoming project which is expected to be released in August 2008. It is my understanding that The Sikkis will be released on both TuneCore and iTunes soon. I have been listening to The Sikkis for two days straight and there are some great tracks, my personal favorite is track 13 (don’t have the tracks names!). The one track title I do know, “NO To The Bay”, features Loyola rapper G-Eazy. For more information check out Trifecta MySpace and Rockwell Beats.
