The name is Relapse. I’m here to put Orange County on the map. I was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley, but I migrated here (Orange County, CA) about ten years ago. My newest release “the real o.c.” is dedicated to the real Orange County I have grown to love and respect over the years. If you love sex, drugs, and scandalous deeds, you should check out the c.d. I represent Notorious Enterprises and Freestyle Productions. I’m not here to talk about my car, my money, or my blinging chain. That shit just isn’t interesting to me. Gangsters, riders, punks, shit talkers, whores, liers, addicts, criminals and drugs are my reality: So that is what I write about. Living in this county has given me an up close look at one of the most unique places to live in the world. Southern California is where it all goes down. My commitment is to painting as true of a picture of our culture here in Southern California (especially Orange County) as I can without getting anyone in trouble. Parental discretion is advised.
