I would like to ask all of those who follow and support the Sacramento underground to please take some time to pray for one of my business associates and friends, Hondo. For those who don`t know who he is, he has been trying to, almost single-handedly, push and support our underground scene by setting up various shows and offering an avenue for artists to perform and network. I have personally worked with this man on numerous occasions and have the highest of respect for him as a person, and a businessman. He is a father and a passionate individual extremely dedicated to seeing Sacramento rise on a larger scale. He doesn`t involve himself in the gang life that has affected so many on our streets. He is about his business and music.
Unfortunately lastnight, there were four individuals who felt compelled to act cowardly, or should I say in their eyes, "gangsta", as they proceeded to jump him, and as if that wasn`t enough satisfaction, they decided to fire off two shots at close range. Right now as I am posting this, he is laying in a hospital bed fighting for his life because of the gun fire.
This whole incident started by Hondo trying to do what he does, and keep the peace. If order can be maintained, he can continue to provide venues and book shows, which are all important for artists in this game. Apparently there are some cats still too ignorant to understand that aspect. It is going to be incidents such as this that will continue to burden Sacramento area artists trying to actually hustle in this music game. It is already difficult to book a hip/hop-rap show in the area as it is because of these types of problems that club owners do not want to deal with. It doesn`t matter how many Hondos, E-Moes, C-Dubbs, or Flossalinis there are out here trying to give the rest of us a shot to perform and build a fanbase. All it takes is one dumbass to ruin it all and tear down a movement that so many try to help create.
How ironic, and unfortunate that it has to be the same man that built E.F.F.U. Promotions ( Everyday Fight For Unity) that is laying in a hospital bed fighting for his own life, after trying to fight for our unity. It`s a damn shame and another black eye to the face of the Sacramento underground movement.
If you found the time to read all of this, I`m sure you can find a few extra moments of your time to say a little prayer for Hondo, his wife and their children and his family. If it was the other way around, we all know he would do it for us.
God Bless you Hondo, and may the lord give you the strength and endurance to fight the fight you are facing right now. May he bless your wife with the strength she will need to be by your side and see you through all of this, while trying her best to maintain a household. I love you bro and I`m right by your side. Until you`re back home with your wife and kids,
E.F.F.U. (Everyday Fight For U!)
