Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Green Eyez first stepped on the scene during the banging on wax era. A native of Lake Charles Louisiana, and growing up on the westside of Inglewood, he displayed his skills as a writer for Bangin on Wax 1 (that went gold). Green Eyez got his chance on the mic with Bangin on Wax II, (which sold 277,000 copies world wide). He was first interested in music around the early 80's when gangsta rap boldly took over, and like many others, Green Eyez preferred this style as a self expression for himself, seeing how it mirrored his everyday life. Unfortunately, this lifestyle caused Green Eyez incarceration for many years. While doing his time in prison, Green Eyez began to lose himself in his lyrics by constantly writing. Through the years of incarceration, his constant creative writing helped pass time and was an escape from his surroundings. Not long after Green Eyez' release from prison in 2000 he dropped his first debut album "HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE" with the single Ghetto Star rising to # 12 on Billboards Top 100 Hot Rap Tracks and #22 on R&B. However, without the correct means to properly promote the album, it would only reach the inner city for recognition. Green Eyez was not discouraged with the promotion of his first album and immediately started work on his sophomore album "ME AGAINST THE WORLD". This album proves his maturity as a lyricist and artist, and shows his diversity in rhyming. "ME AGAINST THE WORLD" takes on audiences of all genres, and reveals how the rapper dug deep within him and filtered his emotions to produce such a project. With his never ending, determination and dedication Green Eyez will keep pushing until he is world renown and on top. "It will not end there".
Green Eyez enjoyed immediate success after the release of his single off the Me Against The World album "Mama's Baby, Poppa's Maybe. In May 2002 his single charted at number 4 on the Billboard Hot Rap Charts and remained in the top ten for eight weeks.
He now awaits the release of his single "Place of Peace" due out on the Soundtrack of the New Hit movie "Gang Tapes" due in theaters and stores in late September 2002.
