Everybody knows that Mellow Man Ace is a legend, and an original member of Cypress Hill, who left to pioneer the Latin hip-hop world, to cross over into the US and sell millions of records worldwide. His record-breaking classic single ﾓMentirosaﾔ gave birth to a completely new genre of successful music now categorized as ﾓReggaeton.ﾔ As Mellow Man Ace put it in this Dubcnn exclusive interview, ﾓThe importance of the song Mentirosa is much like that of Roberto Clemente or Jackie Robinsonﾒs influence on modern day athletics in terms of what they did for blacks and Latino’s in major league baseball.ﾔ
His staggering success is documented in the history books forever; however, we go where no interview has ever gone before with Mellow Man Ace. We travel beneath the surface as Mellow personally opens up and exposes the transparency of his inner self ﾖ as we feel the hurt and tears from the Latino struggle, to own personal struggles, including the pain and conflict with his own flesh and blood brother, SenDog (from Cypress Hill). We speak on deep social issues such as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the industry, Politics ﾖ or as he calls them ﾓPolitricksﾔ — and even Marijuanaﾅ
This interview reveals the truth and vulnerability that many people are afraid to show. It doesnﾒt get any more real than thisﾅit also doesnﾒt get anymore West Coast than this interview. Itﾒs an honor for Chad and I to be a part of this historic conversation for Dubcnn.
