WICKEDMINDS is an Organization of Latino Rappers. The first, and only one of it's kind. The original WICKEDMINDS goes back to 1994 when Bugzy released his EP containing the songs "Whats goin on" and "U can have it" from his "Infamous Gansta" album featuring Slow Pain and Mikeski. Three years later Bugzy, and Mikeski joined forces with rapper/producer Wreck. At the time Wreck had his own Rap group called "Sinister" but was searching for the next step. After a few shows with Slowpain, Frost and Lighter Shade of Brown, WickedMinds was born. In 1998 WICKEDMINDS began recording their first album with Tony - G at the G-Spot studios, featuring Slowpain, Frost, Nino Brown, Rocky Padilla, ALT, and the beautiful voice of Diane Gordon. The "Misundastood" album took underground Latin rap to the next level. WICKEDMINDS broke into the scene with flying colors giving the people what they loved, Oldies, a rough Hip Hop track, and of course smooth rhymes on songs like "Old Stand By", and Misundastood'. In January the "WickedMinds 2000" introduced Pops and Lil Sicko. Halloween 2000 , Wreck dropped his solo album "Pocket Full Of Quarters". Following the "Misundastood" format with the Oldies in songs like "Searchin" and "Hijo de Mama", featuring Conejo, and Proper Dos, "Pocket Full Of Quarters" also added Cuete from "Hit Squad", Ritchie Rich from "G-Boys", Mr Fern, and Angel to the WICKEDMINDS. Halloween 2001 WICKEDMINDS released "DA Compilation" not exactly a compilation of tradition, it was tittled "Da Compilation" because it contained a song from each of the WICKEDMINDS albums from the past, but also new songs from the upcoming WICKEDMINDS albums like "? Years Old" from Cuete's album titled "Sounds Of Violence". "Bitches and Assholes" from BabyWicked'S "Girls it Aint Easy" ALBUM. late 2001 WAS THE RELEASE OF Mr. Chino Grande'S, album titled "Hard Times In The Varrio". THE WICKEDMINDS "HOMIES" ALBUM WAS THE FIRST LEGIT WICKEDMINDS ALBUM TO BE RELEASED WORLDWIDE THROUGH EASTSIDE RECORDS. It features the hit singles "BROWNPRIDE (NO LOVE)" WITH LIL ROB, AND "CLOSE YOUR EYES" FEATURING LATIN R&B SENSATION ERIQ. THE "Unforgivin" ALBUM IS scheduled to drop Halloween 2004. IT WILL FEATURE (WRECK, BABYWICKED, CHINO, AND THE NEWEST WICKEDMINDS CECY, TRAVIESO, AND RABBIT The "Unforgivin" FEATURING: MR SHADOW, NINO BROWN, CLICKA 1, SLOWPAIN, LIL DEMON, LIL ROB, FRANK V(PROPER DOS), AND ODM(LIGHTER SHADE OF BROWN).
