Due to the now infamous “snitching” controversy between hip-hop artists, one of the biggest feuds in hip hop history has been brewing, with all eyes and queries directed at one man – member of the hip-hop click Junior M.A.F.I.A, rap artist Lil’ Cease. Lil’ Cease was born and raised in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant area, at age 15 became a protégé of the legendary hip-hop rap artist Notorious B.I.G. On Reality Check: Junior M.A.F.I.A vs. Lil’ Kim, a new DVD from the Phoenix Entertainment Group, Lil’ Cease sets the record straight - separating fact from fiction and telling his side of the now infamous “snitching” controversy that has blown up on hip-hop culture news sites over the Lil’ Kim charges that landed her in jail. When federal grand jury charges stemming from a shootout at hip-hop, rap and R&B radio station HOT 97 were filed against female rap artist Lil’ Kim, the media and the public watched the trial closely, especially hip-hop and rap internet news sites.. Many testified against Lil’ Kim, but only one man became the subject of unparalleled scrutiny and scorn – rap artist Lil’ Cease. Labeled a “snitch” and a “rat” by many for doing what was legally required of him, Lil’ Cease has been forced to deal with the aftermath of allegedly “breaking” the hip-hop code of silence. Hosted by MTV’s Sway and featuring court transcripts and commentary from hip-hop and rap heavyweights Jadakiss, Method Man, Snoop Dogg and more, Reality Check: Junior M.A.F.I.A vs. Lil’ Kim exposes the truth about the trial, examines the effect the feud will have on the late-great NY rap artist Notorious BIG’s legacy and allows viewers to decide for themselves who is the real traitor. “We worked with Cease in the past, he is a pleasure to work with, he is still young and eager and has a professional attitude. We are looking forward to future projects with him” says CEO, Anthony Perez of Phoenix Entertainment Group. The DVD features special commentary from Cavario, the CEO and editor-at-large of hip-hop bible Don Diva, as well as a new Junior M.A.F.I.A. mixtape, on the streets, June 27th. |
