HELP CHICAGO'S MC JUICE CLEAR HIS NAME

Donate now and help the legendary rapper avoid ten years in prison for a crime he did not commit

For such a long time my music and persona have been the stuff of urban folklore...

But through social media and word of mouth, you have circulated and spread the word about me and I have become internationally recognized as a symbol of real Hip Hop.

For this I say thank you.

As an Independent artist, I control the content and distribution of my music. I am now able to link directly with my listeners at the click of a button.

My goal has always been two fold: To take you with me on my mission of self-discovery and to always do it skillfully. So far, it has been one hell of a ride but trust me, its just the beginning.

#Legendary

Many people know of me from winning hundreds of rap contests, including my historic battles with Eminem and Supernatural. Still others point to my freestyles and improvisation as one of their favorite things about me. Despite how I got known, I consider myself a writer first and foremost.

My new music is all about showcasing the power of the pen. It also takes another step forward sonically and challenges normal perception. Tragedies and triumphs over the last few years have helped to create perhaps my most personal project to date.

The Obstacles

For a period of time, I've been sorting through personal and legal situations which have managed to keep me out of the public eye. Between my car accident and my dad passing away, I wasn't sure if I would ever be inspired enough to make music again.

I truly thank all my corporate partners for helping me keep food on the table during that tough time.

California Dreaming

I was asked to fly to L.A. to do an interview about Eminem. But as the old man became terminal, I refused to leave his side. Instead, I had the crew come to my dad's house house near Ferguson, Missouri to film me for an episode of 'Popped'. Before he died, my dad told me to move back to CA. Surprisingly he even left a modest inheritance. I began saving it in a shoe box for my relocation to California.

After a long fight with our insurance company, we also received a small settlement from the car accident. It felt as if tragedy was finally turning to triumph. We added the settlement money to the relocation fund my dad left us.

My lady and I found a cool crib to rent in Northern California but we had some difficulty with credit. Our bank has no locations on the west coast and the rental agent would not accept an out-of-state check. We decided go back to Chicago to grab all of the cash we had been saving. The plan was to bring back enough money to just rent the place for the whole year.
