Cormega has truly risen from the ashes of the fire of street hustling. In and out of jail, he gained concrete street credibility for his actions as a drug dealer and a hardcore emcee. In the song "One Love" by Nas, Cormega is named in a verbal prison letter. One of his first singles 'Dead Man Walking' was banned for being too violent. He was signed to Def Jam but his album 'The Testament' was never released. He was the original member of The Firm (Nas, AZ, and Foxy Brown) and he rocked a classic verse on "Affirmative Action" from the "It Was Written" LP by Nas. Unfortunately, Cormega was replaced by Nature because he refused to sign a production deal. Many people yearned for his solo albums and fans only had collaborations and bootlegs to listen to. Songs like "What's Your Poison" by Mobb Deep and "Three" by Prodigy were instant classics. Cormega was never afraid to speak his mind either. He gained even more exposure when a heated beef began with his once friend, Nas. Calling him out on many songs, Cormega gained more of the respect like 50 Cent did when he beefed Ja Rule. Nas did strike back with "Destroy And Rebuild" from his "Stillmatic" album. These days, beef between Nas and Cormega is not even a topic anymore. Eventually, Cormega released his debut solo album "The Realness" on his own label, Legal Hustle Records. With very little guest appearances, Cormega brought back the concept of solid albums to hip-hop. Short, sweet, and not flooded with BS, "The Realness" was a gritty slice of reality from Queensbridge. He missed the sophomore jinx with his classic 2nd album "The True Meaning". Every song on "The True Meaning" was incredible. From "Verbal Graffiti" to "Therapy", the album was almost perfect (and it only had one guest emcee, Large Professor). Fast forward to 2004, Cormega returns with his album "Legal Hustle". Packed with guest appearances, Cormega's "Legal Hustle" is more of a showcase for the talent from his label even though Cormega is on almost every single song. While many unknowns like Dona and Miz are on the LP, many well-respected artists do collaborations too. Ghostface Killah truly rocks the microphone on the mind-blowing "Tony / Montana", produced by newcomers, The Feil Brothers. Firm member, AZ also rocks the mic on the Emile produced "Redemption". M.O.P. brings chaos on "Let It Go" as they show their frustration about how their album is taking so long to come out on Roc-A-Fella Records. There are even odd collaborations like the reggae inspired "Dangerous" with Vybez Kartel and Unda P or "Deep Blue Seas" with West Coast emcees Kurupt and Jayo Felony. Cormega fans will not be disappointed. On a hot evening in June, I sat down with the legendary Queens emcee and discussed drugs, the record industry, collaborations, and more. Cormega gives a voice to the kid in the projects, the guys who hang out in front of the corner store, the guys who sell drugs in the street, and the men incarcerated behind bars. While Cormega may be hustling legally, he is hustling for the people.
