Ms. Crystal Envy sure has the touch for
melting down the guard of an on looker
examining her portfolio. Her flavorful
artistic poses often caught my visions
indulging in day dreaming episodes that
looked to unravel the highlighted fabric of
her clothes revealing her natural contour.
What inspired you to become a model? “I
just posted pictures of myself on my social
sites and people just started asking me to
do events and things.” Her style has a very
classic and unique appeal that goes along
with it. I could tell that she really was
Her fan base stretches beyond the boarders
of the U.S. due to the allure and attraction of
her brand. I can compare it to something like
a luxurious temptation, but yet it is only a
tasteful tease. Her fans are mainly
“International people. For some strange
reason”... as she gently shakes her head.
With her exterior beauty it could be hard for
any guy to cross the line and attempt to mix
Well who are some of your role models?
“Role Model? ..... Thats a hard question for
me. I Guess as far as the Entertainment Biz
goes i could say people like Pam Grier, Tina
Turner, Beyonce and......Oprah. Because
they inspire me.”

with it. I could tell that she really was
taking her time, but making all the right
associations and connections to build her
online image. Ms. Crystal Envy models for
events and businesses on an average of 4 to
5 times per year, and it won’t be long until
she will be booking more time with
prospective employers.
It’s tough out there what keeps you
working hard and motivated to continue
building your modeling career? Ms. Envy
answered, “Its easy. I don't need much
motivation for that part of my life. I really
love it. Im addicted to being around and
meeting new people. Everyone has their
own energy. So I like to feel different
connections and get to know people from
different backgrounds.”
any guy to cross the line and attempt to mix
business with pleasure. What would you do
about these type of advances. Ms. Crystal
Evny answered, “Well.... it is hard sometimes
because you can be very attracted to your
client. But its cool because they understand
that it could never go beyond the computer
screen. & if they don't understand that yet
then I help them the best way I know how.”
Ms. Envy plans to stay in the modeling
entertainment business for as long as she
can, she also has a social media site that is
coming soon to online viewers. Her favorite
locations to model and work are island and
water locations. So what do critics say about
your style of modeling? Ms. Envy answered
simply, “I Don't Know... They Gotta Love
ME!”

Lay You Down
Let me lay you down
make you my personal playground.
Let me dig my fingers in your sandbox.
Let me

Let me smell the scent of your skin

it made me ache

Our bodies playing a classical note

Hitting the direct cords

Words from the heart of the Mydnite Angel
STRONG BY DEFAULT
I’ve been stripped of all I had
I stand naked in the wilderness for all to
see
To be mocked
To be harassed
Open to the creatures of the day and night
To pick at my bare bones
To feed their hungry ugly souls
I’ve been stripped naked
Bare
With nothing to say
With no ears to hear
It is only my heart that beats within me
That insists I carry on
Through the muck and the mire
But it is of no avail
No matter how hard I try
No matter what path I take
How many more tears must I cry
How many more nights must I dread
How many more roofs must I borrow
To lay my head without fear of reprisal or
detriment
Safety
Peace is what I seek
Peace is what I lack
At the end of my journey lays a place of
peace
Where my wondering soul can sit a spell
And relax from this arduous journey
Or is it not worth my time
Is it not worth my effort
Are my thoughts so random now
That they fill up my time and waste its
precious drops
I am defenseless
I have given up my amour & my shield
I have given up my fight
I have turned and walked away
But as an animal cornered
With nowhere to turn
Nowhere to run or hide
I will bear my teeth and fight to the death
If my life be threatened
For that's all I have left
Take all that I possess
There is nothing left
I will still exist
Standing without pretense
Or malice of forethought
No matter what path I take
No matter the raucous I make
No matter how slow I walk
Or how fast I drive
It is of no avail
I wonder
How much more must I lose
How much more must I endure
How much more must I suffer before
life gets better.
How many more doors must I knock on
How many more calls must I make
How many more night must I spend
Without food
Without shelter from my tormentors
Without safety from predators
Without a safe haven for my soul to
rest
I’ve been stripped of all I had
I stand naked in the wilderness for all to see
I am defenseless
I have turned and walked away
I present to you, my soul
For I am broken.

Blue Magic
Some say where there's smoke there's fire
Not all times does this transpire
I'm gonna say something a little drastic
Where's there's smoke there's Blue Magic
But I'm gonna try and keep her out of it this time
Cause I don't want it to cloud this rhyme
Oh but how I miss her that is so true
I pray to God that our love grows anew
I wanted to write something a little sarcastic
Now I got to right some new shit
Some true shit
And throw it on the wall and hope it will stick
If not I have to put it back together with a glue stick
I remember when smoking weed was the craze
When my smoke was about that Purple Haze
You had to be real careful when you took a toke
Inhale too much and your ass will choke
I really want to talk about the love that I just lost
And how I'll do anything to get it back, no matter the cost
I keep writing about her but leave her nameless
That's because she has status and is a tad bit famous
I wanted to write something a little sarcastic
Make it sound just a tad bit sporadic
But I decided to be more realistic
Cause where there's smoke there that Blue Magic

Mr. Christian is a
developed musician and
mic performer that is
going to bring the version
of the hip hop movement
to new and unchartered
territory. To many
performers whether they
are gospel of another
genre most often fall into
highly competitive
categories. The honest
and thought provoking
lyrics of Mr. Christian will
Mr. Christian
Chatting it up as we often do
we converse on a wide range of
topics… spirituality, politics,
music, and of course business. I
had to know what were his
thoughts on the immoral
actions of Tiger Woods? Mr.
Christian answered, “Well what
can one say except, but for the
grace of God there go I. He did
what he did. Every one who
cheated just once is just as
guilty. Sin is sin. There are no
degrees to it. He has to live
with himself and I think that is
the worst punishment he could
get. God forgives, who am I to
judge? I Think he should start
playing again. Kobe neverlyrics of Mr. Christian will
set off a trend within the
gospel and hip hop
communities. After all
the artistic energy level
couldn’t be more
recognizable, he is my
cousin.
playing again. Kobe never
stopped playing and the world
loves him again. Tiger need to
go out and win the next
Masters and the world will
forget about this.” With many artists they often cross over from gospel into more mainstream
types of styles that don’t always compliment or fit the best interest of the
artist. What has inspired you to get into hip hop with a focus on gospel? “I
was secular for a while but it just wasn't the right fit. I was good and I
wasn't fronting, everything I talked about was what I was into but even the
life I was living didn't feel right. I'm a church boy. I always loved God and I
felt like I was letting him down. Then one night when I was visiting my
parents b/c my mom was sick. I was laying in bed and I heard my mom in
the kitchen puttering around like she was making something to eat. I began
to does off a bit but before I fell asleep I could hear her begin to pray.
Instantly I was 16 again hearing her praying before she woke us up for
school. I woke up smiling, kind of laughing to myself saying "After all these
years I can still hear my momma praying.

" I wrote "Mama Praying," that night and
I never wrote another secular rhyme.”
Do you have plans to develop a following
through social media? If so how? Mr.
Christian answered, “That is the main
plan. I have been putting the plan
together and getting the budget up so
that when the time comes we can go full
force to the masses using these social
media outlets as a jumping off point.”
What do critics say about your rhymes?
“Right now it has been like singing a
gospel song at the Apollo. They may not
like you but they won't boo you off. I run
in to people who really love what I do
and support me and some folk just nod
and smile but no one has been like "That
Jesus stuff is wack." It may be coming
but I haven't run in to it yet.” I know
Who do you see as role models
for what you are doing, and
why? Mr. Christian answered,
“This is a crazy question
because no on has done what I
seek to do. Nobody has crossed
over in the world of gospel rap
so who can I look to? I like to
watch people that you never
hear about in the news like
Jadakiss. The illest rapper right
now but you don't hear about
any arrests for drugs or
touching some chick or none of
that. That's the kind of person
that is a role model to me. Even
though our values may be
different and our belief systems
differ. Plus he's ill.”but I haven't run in to it yet.” I know
your pretty busy, because nine times out
of ten I’ll get routed to voicemail when I
call… so how often do you get a chance
to perform at events? Mr. Christian
stated, “I don't get to perform at nearly
as many event as I would like. Running 2
companies keeps me so busy. I would
love to be everywhere but for too long I
haven't been able to get out. Plus with
the limited number of venues for my
kind of music it’s even harder.”
differ. Plus he's ill.”
How hard would you say it is to stay
focused on your goals as a Christian
hip hop artist? “How hard is it to
blink. Its not hard at all. When you
believe in something with your
whole heart and you love what you
do, doing it is never hard.” What is
your long term goal you want to
achieve within the music industry?
Mr. Christian answered
enthusiastically, “To be a gospel
Berry Gordy. To be some one that
changed the face of the industry.”
I also found it interesting to learn who
his main supporters are, “They come
from a wide range of areas. I have bible
toting staunch church goers that are in
love with the music as well as die hard
hip hop fans that you find at all the
underground shows loving it also. I
have met a few people who hate rap
but love my music.” Where do you feel
most comfortable performing? Mr.
Christian answered, “There is always
something about going home so I would
have to say NYC. To do it big in your
home town is something special. Ask
any athlete that made the pro's and
ended up playing for their home team.”

CAN’T I JUST LISTEN TO MY CAR’S RADIO?
Ned Delaney
Years ago, when dinosaurs
roamed the earth, you could
control your car radio with
two and a half knobs. One
knob controlled the volume,
turning it to the right raised
the volume, to the left
lowered it. The other button
controlled tuning in the radio
station you wanted to listen
to. Turn to the right, you
zipped up the dial, to left back

a metal ring with a nub
protruding that controlled the

You’d think adjusting the

would be like falling off a log.
It’s like designing and

For one thing, I don’t have a

Invariably, without fail, I’ll wind

be embarrassed to admit I have

not with my car’s

In 1995, the group released their
debut single "Lifestyles Of The Rich &
Shameless", charting on the
Billboard Hot 100. The release
landed them a record deal with
Uptown Records. The group
contributed a single to the Don't Be
a Menace to South Central While
Drinking Your Juice in the Hood
soundtrack, titled "Renee". The song
became a major hit, breaking into
the Top 40 on the Hot 100 chart. The
single also reached Gold status in
1996. On June 4, 1996, they released
their debut album Legal Drug
Money. The work was highly
acclaimed, and the album featured
five Hot 100 hits, including their past
singles "Lifestyles of the Rich &
On the night of March 28, 1999, at a
birthday party for Mr. Cheeks, Freaky
Tah was shot in the head while exiting
the Sheraton Hotel in Queens. Tah was
taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he
was pronounced dead at 4:20 am, at
the age of 27. The getaway driver,
Raheem Fletcher, was sentenced to 7
years in prison for Manslaughter. In
2001, Kelvin Jones pleaded guilty to the
murder. The three remaining group
members finished their third album LB
IV Life, released in September 1999.
The effort fell short critically and
commercially, failing to provide any
Hot 100 hits, and failing to reach Gold
status. The three split-up after the
release, and lead MC Mr. Cheeks began
a solo career. He released his first solosingles "Lifestyles of the Rich &
Shameless", "Renee", as well as
"Music Makes Me High", "Jeeps, Lex
Coups, Bimaz & Benz" and "Get Up".
The album was certified Gold by the
RIAA in late 1996. Their second
album, Love, Peace & Nappiness,
was released on June 17, 1997 on
Uptown/Universal Records. It
featured another Hot 100 hit single,
"Me & My Crazy World". One of the
most famous songs on the album
was the posse-cut "Beasts From The
East", featuring A+, Redman and
Canibus. The album wasn't as
acclaimed as their debut, but fared
well commercially, reaching Gold
status in late 1997.

effort John P. Kelly in 2001, which
featured the smash hit "Lights, Camera,
Action!". The album also featured a
heartfelt tribute song to Freaky Tah,
titled "Till We Meet Again", featuring
Bob Marley's son Stephen. Cheeks
released another album in 2003, titled
Back Again!, then followed in 2004
with Ladies & Ghettomen. On January
16, 2004, DJ Spigg Nice was tried and

unreleased material.
Sited From…

LOST BOYZ Bio Update!
In keeping with their “Lost Boyz For Life” vow.....the Lost
Boyz are back! The remaining members of the Platinum
selling rap group, Mr. Cheeks, Pretty Lou, and Spigg Nice
have re-united to work on their fifth studio album. The
project will feature extended LB family and newly
inducted Lost Boyz members, Dramatic Da Dj (Spigg
Nice’s protégé) and rapper Black Smoke.
The original dreadlocked South Jamaica, Queens rap

and Spigg Nice busted on the scene in 1995 with their
highly acclaimed debut cd, Legal Drug Money. The classic
album featured five Billboard Hot 100 hits: “Lifestyles Of
The Rich & Shameless”, “Renee”, “Music Makes Me
High”, “Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz, & Benz”, and “Get Up”.
The five singles topped the R&B and Rap charts as well.
Legal Drug Money was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1996
Shortly after the release of LB IV Life, the group took a
long hiatus, and Spigg Nice became incarcerated. In late
2001, Mr. Cheeks resurfaced as a solo artist. His debut
solo album, John P. Kelly, featured the hit single “Lights,
Camera, Action!” and collaborations with Stephen
Marley (son of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley) on
the ballad “Till We Meet Again” (recorded in Freaky
Tah’s memory) and the reggae-flavored “Mama Say”.
The Lost Boyz chief rapper released three solo albums
and appeared on various projects including Lil Kim’s hit
single, “The Jump Off”.
“Lost Boyz Forever”, a compilation album of previously
unreleased tracks, as well as past hits feature the
original members as well as rare, unreleased vocals

With both Platinum and Gold success, seven albumsLegal Drug Money was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1996
and later certified Platinum.
The Lost Boyz certified Gold sophomore album, Love,
Peace & Nappiness, released in 1997 and featured R&B

Crazy World”. Deemed underground favorites, the Lost

overseas, and participated in countless projects. The
group contributed its “Renee” single to the Don’t Be a
Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the
Hood soundtrack, were featured in the hip hop
documentary, Rhyme and Reason, Statistic, and
appeared in Sprite’s “Obey Your Thirst” television
commercial.
At the height of the group’s success, Freaky Tah was
tragically murdered in March 1999. The remaining group
members forged through the pain of losing their LB
family member, and finished their third album, LB IV Life.
The album featuring Freaky Tah was dedicated to the LB
fallen soldier and released six months after his death.
With both Platinum and Gold success, seven albums
albums (collectively), and a cult following under their
belts, the “Feel Good & Party Anthem Hip Hop” kings
are back! Although, Spigg Nice remains incarcerated, he
will lend his vocals and creativity to the pending
project. The demand from loyal Lost Boyz fans and
supporters for new Lost Boyz music is at an all time
high! New Lost Boyz album and tour coming soon!
“It’s LB fam no matter what. We’re still here, still
trendsetting, still holding things down and making hot
music. We represent that lost society of cats that didn’t
think that they could do it. Now, we’re coming back to
the ring. ” – Mr. Cheeks

The Lost Boyz are back on
the scene returning with
their classic style that
brought them success in the
mid to late 1990’s. The Lost
Boyz family is taking their
game to a whole new level
as indie artists on the rise
and still commanding top
dollar for their showcase
performances. With talent
that is virtually unmatched
The Lost Boyz are brought
I waited patiently as Ms. Janet
Williams CEO of The Matriarch
Agency and publicist for the Lost
Boyz assured me that Mr. Cheeks
would be out of the booth
momentarily to answer my
questions. After all what was the
rush for me? I thought the world of
these guys and I sat back in my chair
day dreaming of the times I had in
my youth listening to the groups

constructing versatile chemistry. It
was pretty much an honor to get the
chance to interview the Lost Boyz. I

young adulthood searching for my

Mr. Cheeks and Pretty Lou
agreed, “No doubt, it’s
definitely a lot easier for an
artist to find an outlet without
a major label.” Artists now a
days have to be consistent with
making improvements to their
style and performance. Mr.
Cheeks, has it been hard making
adjustments to the new type of
game that exists within the
industry today? “Yes and No.
(Yes)The game now is more
visual than talent based so it's a
little hard to adjust from the
golden era. (No) There are so
many new ways for your fans to
be one with you so we are
excited about that.”

The Lost Boyz are brought
together through the
artistic flavor of Mr. Cheeks,
Spigg Nice, Pretty Lou,
Black Smoke and their
official DJ Dramatic Da DJ.
After learning from The Digital
Conglomerate insider agency
(The Matriarch Agency) that
the Lost Boyz were scheduled
to be making a return to the
stage I caught up to the Lost
Boyz at their K. Michael
eyewear photo shoot. Studio
time for production on new
material was also scheduled at
this time, so you know that
the Lost Boyz had a very busy
schedule.
that is played out in the
unforgettable classic song by The
Lost Boyz “Renee”.
When the opportunity presented itself
I caught a quick few minutes of time
from Mr. Cheeks and Spigg Nice. I had
a few questions for them, because
everyone wants to know what has the
group been up to. I asked Mr. Cheeks
why did he feel that it was important
to return to the hip hop game? Mr.
Cheeks answered, “Easy; to leave our
stamp in the history of rap music and
make some new fans along the way.”
With technology and the internet has
that been a useful tool that you all
have utilized to help with your return
to hip hop?
excited about that.”
I was very excited and
interested in knowing a little
bit more of what Mr. Cheeks
and Pretty Lou thought about
their fans and the self critiques
they have made on their work.
Their performances and music
had a dynamic impact on the
hip hop and party scene in a
major way. After wrestling
with a thought I finally asked
Mr. Cheeks which hit did he
feel was the greatest hit that
the Lost Boyz produced? Mr.
Cheeks answered, “It's hard to
say. If you ask the fans I think
they would say Renee.

People of all ages and
nationalities come to us and
say hey we love that song
man.” Do you feel that you
were more successful by
branching off into a solo
career or were you more
successful with the group the
Lost Boyz? Mr. Cheeks stated,
“I think going solo gave me an
opportunity to reach a whole
new set of fans that didn't
follow the Fam. I don't look at
it as being more successful
either way, I have fun making
music and performing.”
A performing artist group
relies on their fan base
“All the time. People want that vibe
you know that party feel we bring.“
To many artists leave the
game only to have regrets
The Lost Boyz are
reemerging as
unique and original
hip hop artists. I
was wondering
what will be the
next big move they
are planning to
make? “Right now

gonna showcase

“Crossing the Line: A Review”
By: Lynne Murray
Last night on WLIW 21, the special "Crossing the Line: the Lucero Murder" aired.
The special was a panel discussion on the murder of Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero, who was murdered on Long Island over a year ago by high school
students who targeted him because they believed he was Hispanic.
The panelists included Newsday columnist Joye Brown, Suffolk County Latino activist Francisco Hernandez, professor of Immigration studies at Baruch
College Robert C. Smith, and Matthew Crosson, president of the Long Island Association. Lynn May was the moderator.
During the special, the panelists discussed how many people today blame immigrants for the economic recession, because they believe immigrants are taking
away jobs from American citizens. Sadly, that may have been the belief of the young men involved in the Lucero murder as well.
Economic recession, as stated in the panel discussion, is not the fault of immigrants. Immigrants come to this country for the “American Dream” as did
millions of others throughout history. The cruel reality is that the people who come here every year for a better future still face persecution for being an
immigrant, like so many before them . It if unfair to think today, with all the rights that we have, we are not willing to extend those same rights to anyone else.
The discussion also extended to how the crime has affected people outside of Suffolk County, who are now also working towards hate crime prevention.
Several months ago, Nassau County students appeared in a movie made by the Nassau County police department entitled "Hate-Crossing the Line."
The film has garnered a great deal of attention, since it is geared towards teaching high school students valuable lessons about hate crimes and the
importance of tolerance in our society, so that crimes such as the murder of Marcelo Lucero do not occur in the future.
