Blaze Ya Dead Homie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blaze Ya Dead Homie (born April 1973 as Chris Rouleau) is an American rapper under the label Psychopathic Records.

His artist bio claims that Blaze is the zombie of a 1990's gangsta rapper shot in a Halloween drive-by prank, who has returned to Earth to spread the message of the Dark Carnival. He wears a giant clock around his neck, à la Public Enemy's Flava Flav, adorned with bullet holes.

[edit] History

Blaze has been in the rap game for many years now. From his early beginnings in his previous group "2 Krazy Devils" which consisted of Blaze himself and Skrapz of Level Jumpers. Blaze was then known as Psycho C and Skrapz was known as Krazie. The group had the production of Twiztid's former rap partner The R.O.C. 2 Krazy Devils never really evolved and soon became known as "The Sleepwalkaz". Blazes name switched to The Sandman.

The Sleepwalkaz much like 2 Krazy Devils never really went anywhere and the group was forced to split up. Skrapz went on to do another project with the R.O.C. and Blaze went on to hookup with Twiztid and rumor has it they attempted to record as I.S.I. or "International Superstars Incorporated." "I.S.I." was originally a gang that included Twiztid, Blaze, R.O.C. and Scrapz. But when Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse approached Twiztid for a record deal on Psychopathic Records, they gladly took the offer.

Blaze had appeared on the Juggalo Show, announced by Violent J as the newest member of the Psychopathic Family in 1997. kept doin his thing underground until Twiztid was able to offer him a solo career on Psychopathic. Blaze accepted and was soon on his way to underground stardom. He recorded his first self titled album on Psychopathic. Blaze has the sound of an old school hardcore ruthless street thug from the early 90's. Blaze's next album was his first length LP called "1 Less G In The Hood". This release was a little more experimental in Blaze's sound. Some guitar was thrown in the mix but all in all the album still stayed true to the "gangsta" image Blaze had created. After he released his 2nd album, he retired for about a year. He then came back into the business, becoming a member of the supergroup Dark Lotus and also recorded his third solo album 'Tha Undying' under his new name Colton Grundy.

Blaze and his label mate Anybody Killa are very close friends, and ABK has been Blaze's hypeman at numerous live shows. ABK and Blaze have since formed a group called Drive By. Pony Down (Prelude) was released early october 2005. This album has extreme bass lines and has a slower old school sound. The album received little to no promotion and from what ABK had said in an interview, the album didn't sell.

Blaze Ya Dead Homie was set to release an album on October 31st 2006 Clockwork Grey which was set to be in stores every where. It will be the first album where Blaze will be writing all of his own material. Blaze also headlined his own tour, the Tombstone Terror Tour last Summer through Fall the tour featured labelmates the Axe Murder Boyz and Boondox. Recently it was announced that Blaze's album has also been pushed back for unknown reasons. Much to the irritation of juggalos this has also happend with ICP's album The Tempest.
