Yes it's the same Earl Hayes, as he was affiliated with Mike Moseley too. Which leads me to ask AP has Mike lost close family too? This shit is real sad i read it on world ent. news earlier today.
The name Earl Hayes rang a bell with me cause he was on that Maxamillion Ent. comp he had Ja Rule soundin sorta songs, ya know commercial appeal. He's from Detroit. Edit - ahh i think that was Smash who he rapped wit from Detroit. Earl, i'm gonna say the Bronx.
There was a song called Everywhere I Go or somethin like that it was real dope I used to bump it a lot along with Silk-E's & Uniques tracks that are real tight. Spice-1, Short, Otis & Shug, Harm, Keak, Silk-E, Unique, Suga Free, Bad Azz, Peter Gunz, Lord Tariq all on the compilation too orig. tracks produced by Maxamillion & their other producers..
I've been tryna search this fuckin cd on the net and findin nothin! It's really worth a look too. Checked ma stash.. "Street Legends" 2001.
wow it was 1 cent last time i checked, i forget that a lot of this sorta stuff is gettin snapped up now... I guess if you dont care about the money, buy it (check ebay first though!) not just cause of Earl but because it's a good comp. This whole shit is real sad so dont be gettin all mad i've pointed you to his music, it's a good album.
