"Our
Dues ...Paid In Full
Just So yall
updated:
The StreetChiefs have completed
their first album. 3,500 were sold out the trunk. All the money collected
from sales has been used for traveling expenses and for promotional
items.
It’s hard for people to understand that the first album wasn't created
to generate Profit. It was created to establish a foundation, a true fan base if you will.
The
first Album was a testement to truth, faith and
love of hip-hop. The production
on the album was done by an assortment of producers
none of which were paid for
thier beats. The album
was mixed and mastered, practically for pennies. So the
StreetChiefs decided
to keep the album close to the origin of it’s
lyrical contents.
So there’s no RADIO version, there are no
REMIXES, No Bling-Bling, No Moet,
No Love songs.
The Album is “thug cause I got to” music, it’s “work
60 hour weeks
and still broke” music, it’s “juvenile
delinquency and teenage pregnancy music
”, “No matter what
I’ll survive life in the ghetto” music. That's the reason why the
Album was titled
“C.H.I.E.F.S”. Which is an acronym for…
Causing Hell In Every Fake
Society!!!

Playing: StreetChiefs – What Yall Want
The Street Chiefs are a six man rap group originating in the San Fernando Valley. They are sure
to bring a new flavor of rap to the west coast hip hop scene. The Street Chiefs have been
referred to as the new west coast trendsetters. The group has been together officially since
late 1997. Going through the many ups and downs of the music
industry the Street Chiefs made
plans on becoming more than just artist. They
did some internal reconstruction and decided to start their own record label,
D.R.A.F.T. U. Records. D.R.A.F.T
U. is composed of the first
letter of every member name in the group. Dala,
Ransom, Antagoniss, Federal, Triflon and Unleash.
The Streetchiefs have performed in countless showcases through out Las Vegas and the Los
Angeles area. They have headlined with Mr. Cheeks at
the Crush Bar in Los Angeles.
They most recently headlined with Amanda Perez at the Key Club in Hollywood.
Streetchiefs were also the featured unsigned artist on the website
Farmclub.com. Farmclub.com was a website that was designed to help give
unsigned musical artist a spotlight. The national syndicated show Farmclub.com
was aired on the cable network USA.
Every month the person or group with the most votes is given the opportunity
to perform on the television show. The general public was responsible for
casting the votes. The StreetChiefs gathered a total of 7,168 votes. Their
performance was so good that the producers of the show decided to air it the
same day they aired interviews of the musical artist at the 2001 Soul Train
Awards. The StreetChiefs are will be
featured on the cover of the December, 2003 issue of Undiscovered a new hip-hop
magazine.
Bo, formerly Yung-Dala, is the youngest
member of the Street Chiefs. His youthful energy and on stage antics is what
makes people want to see the Street Chiefs live. He is also known for his
freestyle ability. His laid-back, slightly rugged delivery allows you to walk
in his footsteps. He may no longer be referred to as “Yung-Dala”, but he is definitely the "Yung
gun" of the tribe.
Federal
was the spark that started the inferno which made the Street Chiefs more
business orientated. He began buying studio equipment and setting it up in
his apartment bathroom, since then Federal has become the main producer for
the Streetchiefs. He is also active on
the lyrical side of things, bringing
the street perspective and everyday hustle to the table.
Qualo the oldest member brings a sense of maturity to the group's vibe. He is
described as the vocal leader, the mouth piece of the group by the other
members. The poetical overtones in his lyrical content have a way of making
you see things through his eyes. Qualo also calls himself the Antagoniss,
whom he says was created to act in opposition to the business side of the rap
game. Qualo is responsible for designing and maintaining the website
www.Streetchiefs.com.
Next we have Ransom who is self described as the catalyst of the group.
Ransom is a perfectionist, who pays a great deal of attention to the small
details. His lyrical content has
a ways of consuming the audience and his
high-impact style of delivery always seems to
provoke some sort of emotion.
Ransom is also a producer for the group.
Triflon who is the founding father of the Street Chiefs. Triflon's
smooth harmonic flow helps
to smooth out the rough edges of the group's vibe.
His lyrical content has been described as simple but the intensity of his
delivery is what captures your attention. Triflon is the accent mark, the
exclamation point for the Street Chiefs.
Unleash, was the last member to join the group. He has earned a tremendous
amount of respect for his rap style. His ability to rap without rhyming, but
you usually don’t figure that
out until you have heard his verse three
or four times. Unleash’s delivery is a
contradiction
to his stage name. But once you listen to the content of his
verses you understand how
he got the name “Unleash”. He is also
credited with creating the name Streetchiefs.
