PRESENTED BY LEEDZ EDUTAINMENT
Cormega first burst into national consciousness in 1996 when he was featured on “Affirmative Action” from Nas’ sophomore album, It Was Written. He joined the all-star supergroup, The Firm – originally Nas, Foxy Brown, and Cormega (later replaced by Nature). The alliance with The Firm was short-lived, but Cormega’s lyrical prowess and street credibility strengthened Cormega’s underground following and landed him a contract with Violator/Def Jam. Appearances on Mobb Deep’s “Murda Muzik,” Prodigy’s solo album “H.N.I.C.,” Funkmaster Flex’s Vol II and a host of other underground mixtapes built his resume as hip-hop’s realest lyricist. In 2000, he started his own label, Legal Hustle Records and released several critically acclaimed solo albums The Realness (2001) and The True Meaning (2002) and in 2005 he gained the right from Def Jam to release the first album he ever recorded, The Testament, which he describes as his rawest album ever. After a long recording hiatus, Cormega return in 2009 with Born And Raised (2009) which he calls “the truest look into me not just as an artist, but as a writer and as a person. Born & Raised, features production from DJ Premier, Large Professor, Easy Mo Bee, Havoc, Buckwild, DR Period, LES, Nottz, Fuzzy Womack, Ayatollah, Khrysis and appearances by Big Daddy Kane, Parish Smith, Grand Puba, KRS-One, Tragedy, Havoc, Lil Fame, Marley Marl, and Red Alert. His proudest musical moment during the making of Born And Raised was the recording of “Mega Fresh X” (produced by Buckwild) with Big Daddy Kane, Parish Smith, Grand Puba, and KRS-One introduced by Red Alert.
