Latina Beatz hooked up with underground Emcee Sicko Soldado for an insightful interview.

I am originally from Sunland Park. I moved to Denver back in 98 for a while that’s when I first got serious about making music. I made my way to L.A. when I met Kemo at a Delinquent Habits show.

It’s different in the way that the scene is still new and needs to grow a lot more. Not a lot places show love for the artist, but people appreciate the music just as much as people from L.A.

I met Kemo back in 02 at a Delinquent Habit show in Costa Mesa. He felt that we were good people so he gave us his contact. After we met we arranged a show in Juarez,MX. And started working together since then.

There are a few more emcee features such as Kemo's brother Mostro from the Dead Silence camp, The hated 13 (mads) from the Taylor Made Family, The homey Gremlin from the Life support Camp, and of course the homey Krazy Race from that realizm records.

Most of the production was done by Kemo but I did also have some beats from my good homey Topik for Symbolix, I got another beat from the homey Monomaniac for life support, and a couple from the homeys The hated 13 (mads) for Taylor made family. They are all sick ass sick ass producers.

This album is different than a lot of new shit that’s out there right now. I just keep it real. I didn’t make this album for the main stream as soon as you look at the cover you know its going to be some sick shit. Strictly for the underground.

It gives off a good vibe. I touch a lot on the roots of the revolution it makes you feel like your back in the days of the movement.

Growing up who has influenced you musically? 

I was influenced by emcees like Kemo, Big Duke, groups like control machete, psycho realm, Funkdoobiest, the Beatnuts, SPM, all the O.G. shit that started it all off for me.

I bring my own style to the table I write on some other shit. I am also bilingual which helps me flip up the flow.

I feel it’s a lot harder for our peps to get up in the ranks, and be given the chance to prove ourselves. A lot of the times they just affiliate us as a bad people because of how we look. They should base it on how good we do and how sick we rock shows.

No not really. No one can be as sick as duke and Fermin lV is dope, but I bring my own style.

I did that for joint but I don’t really plan on working with other companies as for now. As for acting not really. I do plan on writing a movie though.

I would want to collaborate with the homeys from Kinto Sol, Omar Cruz, Sinful and work on some Spanish shit.

Yeah its more of a challenge out here cause theirs a lot of competition, so whatever I do is got to be sick to get the buzz going. 

What other collabs/albums can we find you on?

I been featured on a few of Dj Paybacks mixes he’s got a new one coming out real soon called Hecho en Aztlan 3. I was featured on both of Kemo the Blaxican albums simple plan and his new album not so rich and famous. I was also featured on Jehunikos album La pura Vida, Ikuestions Dangerous Spanglish, Krazy Race Movement Strength in numbers, and Corner Block new Album City Blues.

Right now I’m working with Kemo on the Dead Silence Compilation, I also just did work on Mic Mcs up coming album. Working on a track for the homey Gremlins album.
