Imbrued America was an idea in my mind the day that I saw the movie ''Lean On Me'' with Morgan Freeman. If you watch the begining, you will see my point.
I allready thought of spitin since was in the 5th grade, listening to the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, EPMD & the greats Eric B & Rakim. I also had an unfiegned love for rock music which was soon know as Heavy Metal by the time I was in the 2nd grade. I wanted so strongly to wear my hair long and rock a motorcycle jacket. I remember my neice's cousins Billy and Richy Lopez introducing me the breakdancing and Iron Maiden and Metallica at the same time. This led me to a freedom which i never let go of to this day.
It was the summer of 93 and my daughter Nessa was barely 1 years old and I was in a state of shock and uphoric excitement all at the same time as I saw the video for the hit song ''Freedom'' by RATM. I said "this is what I have been waiting for!"
I became an addict of Rage and love anything they have ever put out up to now even One Day as A Lion.
This is around the time I was reintroduced to James Carangelo, my main original gansta for Imbrued America. We began to hang out and listen to the same music, go to shows and just become really good friends. One day I stoped hanging out with Jimmy and I met up with him years later and we started going to shows and haging out again.
Jimmy was starving for music, it was in him, man it was him. Jimmy is music. 1 day Jimmy told me that music was his life and I told him that life is bigger than just music but I was so wrong... Jimmy started playing funky hard rock riffs with death metal breakdowns and I just about lost my mind and got up the valor to spit my political lyrics to his jam. Just for the record, Jimmy is my right hand, I knew this nigga since he was a baby. I used to go to his parents candy shop called Cricket's, across the street from Roosevelt school from Kindergarten through like the 7th grade. We have much history, Jimmy and I. God has orchestrated our lives just for Imbrued America...
We then decided to make a seeking bassist flyer and hang it up on Piero's front window which led us to the greatest Puerto Rican revolutionist and our Bassist today H-Bomb aka Hector Rivera. Later that month we met up with Tim Crew who temporarily played the drums for us while God did his cleansing that took about 8 years... oh by the way we totaly believe in Jesus Christ, thats what the band is all about!
Now it was about Jan of 2007. Just started the new year I had really no substance in my life because I had stopped teaching the bible @ Pastor Ehmad's christian arabic church. I used to teach the youth but i fell off real bad as you can see. I was chillen with Phasade the producer of the hip-hop version of Burn The Great Paper. I decided to take a ride down the park just to unwind and shoot the breaze, when all of a sudden I got cased up with a 420 charge in the wonderful town of Peninsula Blue.
I spent about 3 weeks up in the building stressin. Then to top it off they mixed up my papers. I was suppose to be out of that facility but I got sent to population and wound up on a gang tier. Most of the guys there were about to go down for no less then on a 3 max. I met a latin king that was there and he was going down on a bullet, that means he was going to get a year for what ever he did. now a few days watching this puerto rican older dude peep me. I really thought it was going to get beefy between him and I. He walked right up to the Latin Kings table and asked me what my name was to see if i was the person he was looking for. He then began to tell me that he had been praying and fasting for me and that he had a message from the Lord. That I should use the time i spend on lock down to think about rededicating my life to Christ. I couldn't believe it! So I began to pray and also fast. I was excited to talk with him about the power of God and the way God has designed our lives. His name is Angel Cruz and when I was released, I made shore to visit his church. He even picked me up and took me to meet the Pastor and his family. When Angel introduced me to his son Joshua who was 16 years old at the time, i saw him taping as if he was doing rudiments on his lap listening to what i thought i heard blasting from his head phones was death metal. so I said hey Joshua you know that we shouldn't listen to that music in the house of God, he patiently told me that it was all christian death metal... I had a flash back to when i was in a ministry in Rutherford and this young lady came up to me and told me that I was going to have a music ministry and that as i were to meet the members, it wouldn't matter what they would be doing at the time but that i would know in my heart that it would be so. I'm glad i got locked up because Joshua Cruz is now the drummer for Imbrued America. Back n the day in Israel, the drummers were the ones to chant the beat for war. Well the war we are fighting is against Hell!
Now Ed Moody I have know since we were 14, he loved to skate, hang out and listen to Metallica. So we became cool buddz. I remember chillen with him and Nick Manobianco (may he rest until Christ returns) all the time and I'm just so glad that God put it in my heart for the past 2 years to encourage Ed Moody by telling him that God, with out a shadow of a doubt in my soul, that He was chosen and meant to be in the Imbrued family. Ed and I have had the pleasure of jamming with each other since we were kidz. Ed Moody now plays guitar along with Jim for Imbrued America.
This music ministry, just alittle while ago has encountered a very special dude who i have know since the 4th grade and who Imbrued has had the pleasure of allowing him to polish our ministry and be encouraged to continue in faith: Marc Coco his creation Wyld Syde Entertainment, our management! Thank you Marc for seeing with God's eyes our potential in this carzy flesh devoured industry. You are our mouthpiece from now until death or until Christ returns...
