Tazz Songs-

Dreams- Well, Dreams was written with the idea to expose things to the world. Things that people don't wanna believe is out there in the real world. Everyone wants to believe it's all peaches and Cream but we all know it's not. I talked about Raceism, Sexual Abuse, Losing it all and being poor, and Aids. these are things that people go through. so, if i can tell everyone and have one person open their eyes and see what the problem is and try to make a difference, i've acomplished something.

In Time- In Time was written about a girl i liked at one point. she was really cool and we got along great. but in the end it just didn't work out as i hoped. but she'll have the song to remember at one time Tazz liked her!

The End- The End was written as a pick up from The ReInvention. I talk about my life and all the drama that surrounds me. and at the end of the song i kill myself. that was a part that was very talked about. but it's how i felt and at times that is what i wanted to do. But, as u can see i'm still here.

You Can't- It is a more in your face track. I had to get stuff off my chest and this was a platform for me to do so. i wanted to get some shit strait and i hope i did. this is one of my favorite tracks i ever made and i hope that it is well recieved. Also i hope i shut up some of my critics in the process.

I'm Done- It is a song that i wrote about a man who loves this girl and did all he could for her but she played these games and did shit behind his back and he found out. When i show people the lyrics they ask me was it written about a girl i was dateing not too long ago. I tell them no, but when i read the lyrics- it does sound just like the situation so maybe it was writen about it. but when you hear the final product- i think ya'll will be able to relate.

Mi Amor- In the tradition of tracks like "In Time" and "It's Real" i had to do something on my solo album for the ladies. So i made this track and "Someone I Love". But, Mi Amor is more special to me due to the fact that it was written for my fiance. We haven't been together for that long of a time, but, we share something very special and very deep. and i wanted to do something special for her so i wrote this song and put it on the album. It's one of my favorites. In Fact when i first showed her soem of the lyrics- she cried! I knew then it was destined to be something great. And it was destined to be another Tazz classic!

Jonny L's Songs

F*ck Them All - Me and Tazz had particular problems with two certain indiviuals and we each vent out some frustrations towards them in this song.  We didn't hold anything back at all and we got our points across to the two bastards.  One guy claiming to be my friend but was never around to prove it, and another guy who acts like a bitch towards Tazz's X.  So far two parts have been done for this song.  A third will be on the way VERY soon to end the feud once and for f*ckin all. 

Livin The High Life - This song pretty much fills you in on the life of a rapper and all of the high points in it.  It names various situations that you could find yourself in if you were to choose that path.  Many backstage in the Dynasty Studios believe that this rap will definetely make me a hit.  It is done and ready for the CD so I'll have to let you, the fans, decide. 

This Can't Be - This song focuses on the life of a hitman and a particular war that he faces deep in his concious.  The aftermath of it causes him to do something unpredictable and sick, hence driving the final nail into the end of his life.  I believe this song will be one of the best on the CDs and is one of my personal favorites.

Let It Flow - This song I just let my anger out on particular people who really get on my nerves.  I explain what they do and just pretty much counterattack them....hence I'm letting my anger "flow".

Group Songs-

Last Episode- Well, that was alot of fun to make. Me and J.Smith put alot of thought into that. we were battleing another rap group named the Black Hand Clan and we started to beef in the clubs when they dissed us in a freestyle they did. se we came at them hard and relentless. 3 tracks later we ended it. we are still undefeated. That song remains one of my favorites from Triple Gun Salute.

Get High, Get Drunk, And F**K- This one is one of those party songs! it was so much fun to make! we had this idea of gettin high, drunk and fuckin, it's like the 3 rules of life! they say peace love and happiness, hell, if you really look at it- it's the same! peace- when u high u at peace. Drunk- when u drunk u all happy and shit! And Love- when you fuckin- you Loveing it!!!

On My Radio- This song was written, recorded, and finalized in like an hour! we made it the night of the Grammy Awards, it was like a fuck you to all those award commities. We aren't the type to stress over which awards we gonna get and shit so fuck the Grammys, AMAs, and all them! but for a track that took an hour to make came out to be one of our best.

ReInvention- Well, this song was...um, we wanted to try something different. we wanted toput two songs together and make one. Like my verse would have one kind of music and J's verse would have another. but it ended up where his verse turned into a whole song that lead into mine. the points of the songs were to explain our lives to ya'll. so you know that it ain't all glitz and glamor. And you can see that even rich and famous people can have hard times. and i made part two so to speak with the song The End. and a somewhat of a part three with my new song The Way I Feel. But, this is where it started.

Get Back- This one is a lot of fun! we wanted to do something different for the Back to Business album. So we were talkin about these girls that try and get with ya even though u have a girl. And they ain't even tryin to get wit you, no, they are more trying for the image and the fame and the money! That pisses us off! so we wrote about it and the rest is history.

Real Love- We wanted to show a softer side. We wanted a song for the ladys out there. this song is kinda a double meaning. It is for our lady fans but each of us talk about a real situation. J Talked about a girl he liked. JL talks about a girl he liked, and i talk about a girl i like. so it is "Real Love".

Warning Shot/Round 2- HAHA- In the same play book as Last Episode and those songs. J.Smith and I talk about our enemy at the time and that was unfourtunatly Matt Millitant. After he was asked to leave the group things with him and us went down the wrong road and so we ended up battleing. I have no regrets about it cause at the time it felt right and i believe J would say the same. But, It wasn't what we really wanted to do.

J.Smith- Songs

On My Dick- Well, this song was written outta the blue- i wanted a upbeat/ club type song- plus- the chrous actually stands for something.  You know- you get some of these girls that are just out to get a piece of you- but you aint like that so, yeah you want it- you want me- but nope you aint gettin anything not even a touch.

Why'd You Play Me- This is a sort of deep song for me. Its a personal situation that happened to me with a girl in the past.  Ya know- think its going well then all of a sudden shit goes down and your ready to kill anything- i found out cheating was occuring so i called it quits and i was down for alittle bit - and all of a sudden this song came outta me on paper.

Shake It- haha- yeah i know: "i'm gonna show ya why lata you gon be happy" i'm asked that everytime- If you start to grind with me to some beats you'll know why-  just playin- its just another upbeat song where ya let go and vibe to it how you wanna- im good for all of a sudden just a  hit coming to me and this is one of em'

Can I Live- man, um this song was a complete song all around for me. It was meant to be a slower song from the start and i did that well but then, i also had in mind about a song to say-"damn" like- "u gotta say something about everything i do" or, like "step back im doing this for myself not for you." u know what i mean.

Deep Waters Run Still- well, this is an exclusive- i have'nt released this at all yet its gonna be on my solo- its a deep song- its a mixture of- Dreams/Why'd You Play Me/ Can I Live/ - its like a bit of everything in a way- thats all im gonna say for now

Matt Millitant Songs-

Nitris Anthem- this song is an ode  to my old gimic now dead and burried which will  be disclosed on my new solo album. Nitris was supposed to be a party like laid back kinda guy but now hes dead. This song summarised his personality

Millitary Style- Out with the old in with the new Militant came to be with this song about what will happen if people start fronting anybody mess with us this song is for you

The One I Love- A song I wrote about someone I used to like but now it takes on a new meaning about my girlfriend.

Party High- The Militants party anthem waiting to be unleashed on the masses #1 soon.

My Angel- How can I forget my girlfriend this song tells you that Militant does have a soft side to him but dont think just because he has a soft side means he still cant kick some ass. Theres alot more songs where this came from but this one means more to me than the others.
