I FIRST HEARD OF BLUNTS LLA BACK IN 2002 WHEN I PICKED UP THE FIRST 310 WEST COMPILATION... HOMEBOY HAS A ROUGH RASPY VOICE WITH SOME GOOD LYRICS... THATS WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY EAR... HE REMINDS ME A LOT OF A LATINO GAME JUST BY HIS VOICE... ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS IS A PRODUCER AND LET ME PREVIEW SOME MATERIAL BY BLUNTS FROM WAY BACK THAT WAS NEVER RELEASED... HE TOLD ME "ME BEIN A NIGGA, I NEVER THOUGHT A LATIN DOOD COULD SPIT, BUT ONCE I HEARD BLUNTS, I SAW A FUTURE COMIN FOR HIM"... AND ITS TRUE... HOMEBOY GOT A 50/50 DEAL WITH 2 OF THE BIGGEST RECORD LABELS IN THE INDUSTRY
