This is a song about the socio economic divide between the haves and have nots and the plots and schemes devised by the rich that are used as tricks to help the rich get richer and keep the poor in the dire conditions that they are in.  If you listen closely to the words, you will gain understanding.

MY TANKS ON E by CHACHI CARVALHO featuring NADIA produced by PAUL LOWE JR

This track is to remind everyone that we are here now and we should be celebrated.  Do not wait until its too late to tell your loved ones you love them, or to take a leap of faith in order to chase after your dreams.  The time is now.  I have been recording music for 20 years.  I still have many goals I would like to accomplish.  I love hip hop culture, I love being a musician.  I believe I have evolved as a song writer and as a performer.  If you agree, Celebrate Me Now!!!  

Big thank you to my brother J. DePina for delivering such a powerful soundtrack for these words.  We always connect at the right times.  Big thank you to DJ Mekalek for the tasty cuts.  It definitely provided the icing on the cake.  Hip Hop Forever!!!

GET CRUSHED by CHACHI CARVALHO produced by MERC BEATS

This short collection of songs was written during one of the most difficult times in my life. I suffered great loss in a short period of time and I felt like I was drowning in a sea of emotions. I turned to music as a means of escape. I learned that If I was going to evolve as a man and a musician, I had to let certain things go. This album represents that process. One mans struggle to make sense of a series of unfortunate events.
