Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
40 BOYZ RECORDS STARTED WHEN JOHNDOE, WAYNE LOW, FRANCHISE AND H.BLOW STARTED UP A GROUP CALLED U BLOCK . THE U STANDING FOR THE STREET THEY GREW UP ON UNWIN RD. THEY RECORDED 4 TRACKS AND 3 INSTRUMENTALS ON A CD AND CALLED IT THE U BLOCK GENESIS. THE DEMO STARTED A CRAZY THROUGH THE HOOD. I GUESS THE STREETS WANTED MORE. OVER THE YEARS MORE MEMBERS AND A NAME CHANGE MADE 40 BOYZ WHAT THEY OUR TODAY. REAL CLEVELAND PROJECT NIGGAS MAKING REAL CLEVELAND MUSIC!!!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
