Felony Ent. is a label by felons for felons we on some anti jail type living. Felony entertainment is made up of Our CEO Ms.Jessy, Young Krime, Awall and The Dou of Strapp & Ammo. 

You guys are from Tacoma, what can you tell us about the scene out there? 

What scene? We are the scene out here besides Bow wow Records but other than that the rap music scene in our city is very limited.

What can you tell us about how you grew up? 

Well I grew up in Seattle Wa, Beaumont Texas and then we moved to Tacoma Wa. I was raised up in the projects most of my school days, I played football, hoop and baseball as a youngster. 

Your new album features the legends Bushwick Bill and Marvaless. How did you hook that up and what was it like working with them?

Well about BushWick he actually called us out of the blue I guess his peeps ran across us on the intertnet and was interested in us as a label and was trying to shop an BushWick album..Some time went by and we realized that he would be a perfect match with me on my song "Military Tactics". So my manager gave his manager a call and we set things up and the rest is history....Now about Marvaless I needed a female rapper on my cut "Heavy Doses" so I thought to myself who would be perfect no other than the first lady of West Coast rap Marvaless..So we did a little searching and found Marvaless. She was down with the idea so we hooked everything up then within a week she was on the song ripping it as usual. Marvaless is real cool peeps be on the look out for her next album Ready Made coming soon.. 

Is there anything you regret doing in this game?

For sure I have recorded on a couple albums and been jerked for my cash. I also wish I would have knew the game better than iIknew it 5 years ago. I would be on a whole new level.

What Northwest artists you feeling?

Well of course I'm really digging my ace on the label Awall aka Kaiser, be on the look out for the Northwest Nugget. His debut solo joint. Other than him I'm feeling Syko, All Street Level Records artists, Skunt, Birdie, Sarkastik, Assassin G from Tacoma and a few more I can't think off the top of the dome I'm blowed right now. But yall watch out for our new group Strapp & Ammo coming 2004. 

What artists outside of the NW are you into and who would you like to work with in the future?

I'm into of course the new sounds of 50 Cent, I still love Pac, I dig Jay Z And Scarface.

Soul food, Gumbo,Greens etc. My favorite hang out is on stage. I don't really hang out no more. I'm working too hard. My favorite drink is any dark liqour or kool aid. 

What is your main reason for making music?

It's my life it is where I run to when I'm stressed when I'm sad when I'm happy it is my way to stay sane and also release feelings, worries, problems ya know.

What is more important to you, money or respect?

That is a hard question. I think you need to have both at the same time in this world we live in today so I would have to say they are both real important to me. 

Did you have close shaves with death?

Man many times but the Lord needed me here for something and I think it is to spread the truth thru my music. Because I was supposed to be gone in 2001 when I got shot in Seattle Washington.

If God gave you one day on earth how would you choose to spend it?

I would be begging for his mercy and asking him to let me into heavens doors.
