Anaheim Mixtape Volume #1 features legendary Native MC from Crow Agency, MT "Supaman." I can honestly say that Supa is an authentic Hip Hop hustler. He is continuously touring North America reaching young and old. Not only do we admire this artist but he is also our Crow brother. He is a very humble person that respects the Hip Hop culture. SOG Crew was featured on Supaman's 2007 Album titled Crow Hop.

Supaman Bio:

Anaheim Mixtape is proud to feature Hapizzez from San Diego, CA with his single Silhouette.

"I will be working with Hapizzez on Staturday, October 18 at the San Diego Lowrider Gospel Fest. The S.O.G. Crew will be live in concert at this event sponsored in part by City Heights Recreation Council, City Councillmember Marti Emerald, City Parks and Recreation and San Diego Police Department Mid City Division." ~ Dr. Robert "Battle Ax" Ornelas

Hapizzez:
~Intro (Bio)
It seems that many independent emcees are chasing dreams. They are captive to the promises flashy rappers give. They are trying to make their lives mirror fabricated lyrics. Contrast that goal with music stimulated by dreams of hope. Hapizzez’s songs derive from an experienced warrior and humanitarian. His new album, “Breaking the Mask," illustrates his heart’s desire to inspire positive change in the community by challenging the status quo. His conveys grassroots style of hip-hop thought-provoking lyrics and personal action.

~Background
A light-skinned Mexican boy growing up in the streets of Southern California; Hapizzez struggles to fit in. He explains, “I was a non-Spanish speaking Hispanic kid named Jef, who listen to rap, I didn’t fit any stereotype. I wasn’t black, white, or brown, and there were no other categories. Ultimately, I came to understand my chemical make-up was beyond my control; all I could do was pick my music preference and be responsible for my conduct.”
Like many young men, Hapizzez lived the fast life. When he was 21, he was arrested for public disturbance due to heavy alcohol consumption. Events such as this combined with starting a family led him to seek advice from spiritual men. He became a humanitarian, volunteering at orphanages in Tijuana, Malaysia, and Thailand. A trained Red Cross Shelter Operator, he aided in shelter operations during California wildfires. He was deployed five times while in the Armed Forces.
“My lyrics were therapy. I was failing at many things in life, and I had many worries. When I hit bottom, I found I was not alone. There were too many people hurting. My lyrics changed from an expression of personal pain to a desire for hope. I wanted to give back. It became my motto. I called my style ‘Grassroots Hip Hop.'” Hapizzez’s words and music coincide with his actions and hopes.

~Breaking the Mask (Album)
Hapizzez is Hebrew for “the one who breaks." It is no coincidence that he used the meaning of his emcee name to identify the threat. Produced by Leonardo Suarez Jr., “Breaking the Mask” is simply a call to step outside traditional misconceptions and look at the heart of what is important. It is an attempt to inspire greatness within one’s self for the greater good.
“The background and the details tell a story as interesting as the lyrics,” Hapizzez says. “Take, for instance, track 15 ‘WatDeySayinn,' the original version. It was recorded on a warship off of the coast of Japan. I was on board as a first responder during the 2011 tsunami. You can hear the hum of equipment because there was no quiet recording studio. It was a risk to include it because the quality is off from the rest of the album; however, it was the genesis for the project.”
The featured artists are the most talented and positive independent rappers. Their willingness to collaborate is an indication to the collective optimism for this project.  Braille, NomiS, Playdough, and Tena Jones’ skill sets are magnificently displayed and make this album a supplemental must for their fans.

~Rapping up (conclusion)
2013 Hapizzez hosted the Soul Samurai Syndicate, an open mic and music showcase in the Los Angeles area. He also hosted Hip Hop Night in San Diego and The San Diego Lowrider Gospel Fest.
2014 He is scheduled to host The San Diego Lowrider Gospel fest for the second year.
2015 New album scheduled for release.
He is dedicated to promoting other independent emcees and helping non-profits in the area. “Their success is my success,” he explains. Hapizzez is a “Grassroots Hip Hop” emcee in words and deeds.

Anaheim Mixtape features Anaheim Hip Hop group The S.O.G. Crew with their single "All Together Now."

All Together Now is a song that is very special to me. The fight against domestic violence and the reestablishing of family values was heavy on my heart while writing this song. In 2012 I ran for Vice-President of the United States and found myself deeply involved as an activist voicing my opinion for women, children, marriages, religious freedom and morality. This song was strategically designed as a tool to introduce to the next generation. I believe that it is very important to encourage urban communities to respect women and to respect each other.

The Hook: "All Together Now," is a reminder of how important it is to stay united and to stay focused on the master plan. The bible talks about a house divided can never stand. "It Wont Pop Till We All Come Threw," is a message to myself that I can not walk in a greater level of peace and success without networking with others. Before I tour across the world I have to make sure that my house is happy and that we are all on the same page.

The Break Down: "We Use To Make Up To Break Up, I Couldn't Stand That. Drama Use To Make Me A Mad Man." This music is therapy and brings healing to me. I understand the frustrations that people go through. By traveling across the United States I discerned that I am not alone. I realized that we all have the same problems. From the West, East, Midwest and the South our communities are plagued with the same issues. "Lord, Help Me To Be A Better Man," is a deceleration that I need assistance from on high when dealing with life.

Verse: "Is It Cool Lil Mama If I Stare, Teach Me To Be A Better Man I Do Care." This is a message of love and humility. Growing up as a kid I was to focused on other things that weren't good for me. My focus was somewhere else. Now that I am older I realized that the most important and beautiful things in life are in front of my face. I want to stare at my wife and just watch. I love to watch her at work, when she deals with the kids and even as she sleeps. I don't want to miss anything. "Teach Me To Be A Better Man I Do Care," is my way of saying teach me. Growing up I never new how to be a man. I did not understand how to open a door for a lady, how to compliment or how to be romantic. In this song I am telling my wife that I want to know her and love the things that she loves. It is no longer about me. It is all about God, my wife, kids and God's great people. I am willing to learn.

I am very proud of the team that helped produce this amazing song. It blesses me that I can focus on my lyrics and delivery while the experts focus on my production and engineering.

Greg Leonti: Greg (Ei8ht) produced our Up That Game CD (4th Man/Infinity) and most of our Where Legends Are Born distributed by EMG/Universal. His style is amazing and we have always worked well together. There is a chemistry that is hard to find anywhere else. He is so diverse in his production. Greg is also Pastor Greg Leonti from Brand New Life Christian Center in Orange, CA.

Geoff Gibbs: Geoff is one of the top mixing engineers in Hollywood, CA. He has worked with Michael Jackson and many other musical legends. He is currently working with major artists. Geoff is an incredible engineer and I have worked with him since 2008. He is such a very humble person and he has huge respect for God. He is not only my engineer but he is my friend and prayer partner.

Robert "Big Bottom Bob" Lanzner: Rob is the owner of Technovoice Mastering in Studio City, CA. He has worked with Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur and many of the big boys of the industry. His analog style of mastering has taken our sound to the next level. He is a musical genius and is involved in the experimentation of sound. I sat and listened to him as he spoke a few hours to me on his philosophy of sound and mastering. I look forward to building a long lasting friendship with Mr. Lanzner. He is also a person of great faith.

Dr. Robert "Battle Ax" Ornelas of the American Independent Party was selected by the delegates in 2012 for his support of Israel and current activism throughout the country. First time in the history[ of the United States that a hip-hop artist and Latino with Mexican descent ran for the office of the U.S. Vice President. It was the second time in history that a person of Native American ancestry had vied for a Vice Presidential office. He was the second after Herbert Hoover’s Vice President, Charles Curtis, to have a Native American ancestry. Dr. Robert Ornelas is the great-great-great-grandson of Chief Cristobal Osuna from a tribe in the San Diego Mountains circa the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (1848).

Anaheim Mixtape features New Blood from San Bernardino, CA with their new song Love Through Darkness.

"New Blood is a group that I have been working with for years throughout San Bernardino and California. Their song "Love Through Darkness" comes at a good time. New Blood just lost a member of their family a few days ago to gang violence.

On Saturday, Aug. 30, at approximately 12:44 a.m., deputies from the Highland Police Department responded to a shooting call in the 25000 block of Paloma Road. Upon arriving at the scene, deputies located the victim, Michael Martinez, 19, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Martinez was pronounced deceased at the scene.

We dedicate our Anaheim Mixtape Vol.1 to Little Michael Martinez and to all the families that have lost loved ones to gang violence." ~ Dr. Robert "Battle Ax" Ornelas

Thump Records/Universal Music Group artist Battle Ax (Dr. Robert Ornelas) from The S.O.G. Crew hosts the Anaheim Mixtape. 

"We have toured across the United States meeting many people with many musical talents for years. One of the issues that we recognized on our travels is that there is not enough marketing outlets for the indie artist that you can trust. We plan to bridge a gap between the East, South, Midwest, West and the many islands. We also cross lines of cultural barriers introducing music to urban and Native American communities. Our goal for the Anaheim Mixtape is for the artist to gain national recognition and sales. Driving traffic to websites and building social communities is our second goal. We are open to gospel, underground, Native, Latin and straight edge. Please feel free to contact us. Would like to talk to you." Battle Ax
