Cypress Hill’s Sen Dog and
Mellow Man Ace have partnered to form a new group, The Reyes Brothers.
The result of the
union is a new album titled Ghetto Therapy on their own Latin Thug
Records imprint.
Ghetto Therapy
will feature tracks with Warren G, Bishop Lamont and production from the likes
of DJ Muggs, Fredwreck, B-Real and others.
According to Mellow
Man Ace, the album was a long-time coming and marks the first time he has recorded
an album with Sen Dog, his real-life brother.
"We planned
it for four years, talked about it for three more and now its here," Mellow
Man Ace said. "I told ya’ll get on board, we saved you a seat and we’re
serving filet and shrimp."
Latin Thug Records
is a new label fronted by Sen Dog (CEO) and Mellow Man (Vice President of A&R),
along with Fred Sherman (President) and Marvin Sheleby (Vice President of Operations).
According to Sen,
not only is he excited to work with his brother, but he’s also pleased about
being able to release quality music on his newly-formed label.
"Since we
were a break dance crew with B-Real in high school, it’s always been a dream
of mine to work with my brother," Sen Dog said. "To have it happen
on Latin Thug Records, my own label, make it even sweeter. I’ve always wanted
to create a situation that was artist-friendly but also had its hustle on."
Mellow Man Ace started off
in a rap group called DVX (Devastating Vocal Xcellence) that also featured Cypress
Hill’s DJ Muggs, B-Real and Sen Dog.
Shortly afterwards,
the rapper was signed by Delicious Vinyl and later Capitol and struck big with
the #1 hit "Mentírosa,” which featured “Spanglish,”
a form of English/Spanish rapping that Ace takes credit for creating.
Latin Thug Records
will also release albums from rapper O. Brown, Mexican rock group Asesino and
solo efforts from Mellow Man Ace and Sen Dog.
"Latin Thug
Records is about creating hits and bringing those hits to the heads in Los Angeles,
across the USA and around this whole world," Sen Dog said.
The Reyes Brothers
Ghetto Therapy hits the streets in Jan. 2006.
