Words By Prop Jay
I have always been a fan of Mr. Christopher F. Ries (Young Chris). From his early beginnings in the Young Gunz to all of his recent stuff with Wale and others. Now I guess you can’t classify him and up and comer anymore since he has been on the major-scene since just after Jay’s “Takeover.” After the demise of Roc-A-Fella artists like Young Chris have seemingly stumbled into obscurity and never got their just due. Well here I am, hoping to fix that by giving this man a little bit of well-deserved praise.
This track with Sean Kingston is nice and some how Mr. Kingston compliments the overall tone; which is an unusual statement by me. Young Chris adds to it with his ability to ride the beat and his flow sounds remarkably similar to Jay’s (Black Album era). Add this track to the list, as Chris has murked a bunch of stuff recently. And even though his rookie-pass is over he somehow has manages to stay “underground” enough to maybe be able to catch a few people off guard and attract a bit of fanfare in the process.

From nah right via the smoking gun
Alfamega govt informant
Say it ain’t so Mega. According to The Smoking Gun, everybody’s favorite rap goon and symbol of Grand Hustle’s muscle, worked with the DEA as an “informant who snitched out criminal cohorts and testified as a government witness at the trial of an Atlanta heroin trafficker.”
Here’s what TSG found when they dug into the legal history of Cedric “Alfamega” Zellars:
Court records show that Zellars began working with law enforcement officials after he was sentenced in September 1995 to 110 months in a federal gun case (Zellars, who had a prior felony robbery conviction, was collared for selling weapons to an undercover federal agent). Zellars “agreed to cooperate with authorities and was debriefed” about the criminal activity of several individuals. “In particular he was debriefed concerning the drug trafficking activities of a Mr. Ali Baaqar,” according to a government court filing, a copy of which you’ll find below. During his cooperation against Baaqar, Zellars met with a DEA agent and a federal prosecutor, and subsequently testified at trial. “Ali Baaqar was convicted of conspiracy to distribute heroin based upon the trial testimony of [Zellars] and others.” In return for his snitching, Zellars had 18 months shaved off his prison term when he was resentenced in July 1997 by Judge J. Owen Forrester.
wow….there ain’t santa claus
Sounds like a track that The Dream rejected.
Alfamega will knock you the fuck out…then get the feds top arrest you.
Not fair at all.
Manny Pacquiao would knock Alfamega the fuck out, straight up.
his flow sounds remarkably similar to Jay’s (Black Album era).
============
you mean the flow Jay jacked from him….
Young Chris is one of my favourite artists right now, his mixtapes are always on point. I hope that he puts an album out this year, he’s been dropping consistent tracks for a while now.
^ The fuck that gotta do wit YOU??
@ Trill: Exactly!!! Talk about swagger-jackin’, Jay pulled a Bernie Madoff on Chris’s flow.
@ B-Moore: Huh???
Jay did jack his flow supposedly. I have heard the rumours and all that jazz too. I mean shit they sound almost identical and Jay’s “Whisper rap” didnt start til the post chris -era
@Prop Jay
wrong answer…jigga-man, yea that was his name before hova & all this state property shit, took pieces from all them niggaz style, including freeway….but that nigga OSCHINO give all those niggaz styles to run with (minus freeway & sparks), Mac tired to change his style to more of a whisper rap, but his emotions & passion for rapping never really let him be anything but aggressive gangsta music. Crakk came with his own styles, he had many…but he couldnt keep his ass outta jail, yup he still tha same ol PEEDI
“@ B-Moore: Huh???”
My bad folk i was talkin bout the nigga that mentioned Pac-Man outta nowhere like Mega wouldnt shatter his face like a black hole..
Yea Paw (i refuse to call another man baby & young) always says outlandish shit for no reason, holmes…
Oh yea, i was listening to this last nite, i cant stan sean kingston, but this track is very laid back & pleasant to listen to.
I know we all agreed to ban all this ‘swag’ business, but does any members have any idea what region ‘swag’ was originated?
Jay jacked Chris.
^^^^ ATL????
wrong @beste
@B-Moore, Alfamega would put a black hole in Manny’s face? Get the fuck outta here, what you been smoking dude? Manny would would be to quick and knock the shit out of Alfamega, then when Alfamega would come to it, he would probably go snitch on Manny to the powers that be as to how he got knocked the fuck out by Manny.
In actual fact, Jet-Li would kick the shit out Alfamega too, yeah, what I said it and you can go tell your buddy Alfamega I said that too. If he thinks he so hard, lets see him start something with Manny or Jet-Li because telling you right now he would get the shit kicked out of.
Tony Jaa to, he would smack the shit out of Alfamega, boo hoo hoo, what you gonna do?
@ B-Moore: It ain’t nothing my ninja, I thought you were talking to Trill. Paw trips out sometimes, lol.
Nigga… I said Mega would crush YOUR face like a dropped can of pringles… So what the fuck are you tombout? A bunch of nothin lol…
^ yo dont even entertain some of Paw’s asinine statements. He’s been around here for a minute. he compaed Drake to Lupe…he was pretty much ignored til Gotty started bustin out the Coolers and paw busted out the sonnets(along with the lemon camay)
@Bobby Moore, quit talking like a straight to Rapidshare version of Sticky Fingaz. Man you trippin or something did I say I that I would take on Alfa Beta? I doubt he’d get the chance to smack me up, I’d be to fast for him anyway, then he’d probably go and tell the DEA on me or something. Ciao, ciao Bobby Moore, you so tough, me so little, ooh me so scared, GULP! ;)
So if Jay jacked Chris…and Wayne Jacked Jay…did Wayne really swagger Jack from young Chris???…haha…What would Fat Tony say about those accusations…GETDAFUCKAWWDAHEA!!!
Anotha Time,
MaLLY
