THE CORP CARTEL

The Corp Cartel


The trio The Corp Cartel hailing from the Washington Heights section of Manhattan is bringing their funky futuristic sound and style to the streets. Jonathan “Jaywise” Perez 27 , Mark “Tana” Melendez 27 and Alex “Chaos” Dore also 27 make up The Corp Cartel.


They were known individually for their MC skills in their own hoods and when they met they took it to the next level and created a mega group.

 “Originally, The Corporation was the real name of our team and we just took over in every aspect of the way and while doing that we figured we had everything else on lockdown why not take over the music game as well. so with that being said we started a new addition to the Corporation and shortened the name to The Corp. and added the Cartel due to our take charge attitude.”

The Corp Cartel has won the Latin Hip Hop Artist Award at the New York Underground Music Awards, they have performed at the Tribeca Film Festival and the 10th Annual New York Latino Film Festival presented by HBO.

“We had the inspiration, drive and dedication to take it to the next level and refused to be taken lightly.”

They have been working extremely hard and have a lot to show for it.

In 2005 they released their first mix tape installment entitled Unsigned Heights Vol. 1 with the late DJ Carl Blaze followed by Vol. 2 and in 2008 their single “Do You Want Me” hit the independent charts.

Within the last few years they have had the opportunity to work with DJ Enuff, the late DJ Carl Blaze, DJ Prostyle, Crowdmover LBoogs and DJ Green Latern . Producers: Rockwilder, Kane Beatz, Michael “Seven” Summers and XV and as well as a few clothing lines such as: Sabit, Lavie, Gifted Elite, Kid Robot, Brian Wood, Dirty Jax and Orisue to name just a few of the ppl they have worked with in the entertainment and fashion world. The grind never stops with The Corp Cartel. They continue to give Hip-Hop a new sound and look.
This year The Corp Cartel plans to drop the their first album “The Corp Cartel on Deck: The World Series,” where the single “On Deck,” has been a hit.

In between working as a group they will also be working on solo albums. Jaywise currently released his single “Foolish Things,” and the video and song can be found on www.youtube.com

Let's Love not Hate in 2011

It's now 2011 and I hope women has a whole can unite and stop belittling each other.
As woman, we face a lot of insecurities in one way or another:
- I'm to fat/skinny
- I'm ugly
- My hair is to short or nappy
- I'm to light/dark
- I have no chest / or butt
- I don't have a man
- My man cheats
- I have no friends
- My nose is to big/small
And the list goes on...

By feeling this way females tend to hate on each other because they may see another female with something they want and think they need and the hate begins.
By observing females as well as myself it's all about self love and confidence.

Now some woman may have confidence but may still lack self love, ie; "I know I'm pretty and I can get anybody I want." However, when females with that mentality get that somebody they take certain abuse or give to much when only little is given back and are not appreciated.

Now not all women have these problems and are the ones getting hated on but believe majority of women do have some sort of insecure problem. I have felt insecurities and also felt confident but continued to put up with certain things because I didn't love myself. We need to realize we all have something beautiful about us,from the loud-mouth ghetto hand waving girl to the geeky stringy haired no name brand sneaker wearing pimple face nerd. We shouldn't let what someone says or whispers about us deter us in life. Those who constantly whisper and snicker have yet to find out how to love themself. By hating and giving another female dirty looks will only tear you down and people will not have or give you the respect you want or deserve.
In 2011 I hope we can cease the hate and learn to love but love ourselves 1st.
