Biography
The self-proclaimed “Underground Ruler” of Miami hip-hop, Michael Garcia, known merely as simply Garcia, ascended from underground obscurity to become Miami’s most prominent and street credible Latino rapper during the period of the 2000s. Blessed in Miami but elevated in Kendall, FL, Garcia may be the kid of Cuban immigrants who fled towards the U.S. through the armed forces dictatorship of General Batista within the ’50s. After penning his initial rhymes at age group 14, Garcia became incredibly dedicated to being truly a rapper. Not really putting much worth in diplomas, he just centered on the education essential to launch music when he went to high school and later university. In 1996, while operating in a duplicate center (that was firmly to have the ability to make Compact disc sleeve printings), he fulfilled DJ EFN, informally referred to as “Miami’s Mixtape Ruler.” DJ EFN asked him to be always a section of his team, Da All (aka Da Alliance), also to record for his fledgling business, Crazy Hood Productions. With DJ EFN in his part, Garcia made incredible strides forward, making essential respect in Miami’s underground rap picture from many mixtapes and features on Da All recordings. A locally well-known record, his 1st standard 12″, “non-e of Dem,” strike airwaves in 2003; nevertheless, he had documented another well-received solitary, “That’s Crazy,” with Queens rapper Noreaga a couple of years previously. In 2004, Garcia released his debut full-length, Anti-Social, on Crazy Hood. A definitively hardcore and underground work, the LP was a critic’s preferred in Miami, earning the Cuban-American MC Greatest Recording of 2004 in the neighborhood Miami New Instances paper and a nationwide and abroad distribution cope with Select-o-Hits. For the brink of regional stardom, Garcia’s profile continuing to rise on the next couple of years. Common Latino shown Garcia having a feasible recording agreement, but he converted it down, rejecting the label’s recommendation to convert his sound and picture into the most recent reggaeton tendency. From 2005 to 2007, Garcia’s potential celebrity power discarded any idea how the “Underground Ruler” title might have been a frivolous state. He was experiencing regular rotation on Miami radio and becoming featured in various television and journal interviews. His 2006 golf club solitary “Clap Ya Hands,” made by the Diaz Brothers (Pitbull, Lloyd Banking institutions, Daddy Yankee), dismayed a few of his hardcore foundation but continued to create the Miami rapper interest. The following yr, Garcia issued Existence Unscripted, distributed via 3rd party giant Koch Information and executive made by both DJ EFN and Noreaga. Even though album’s audio was more refined than previously, it had been still hard-hitting hip-hop, however with the addition of even more Latin/Caribbean rhythms and examples.

| 1 | In the beginning of my career I was offered every psycho role out there. After 8 Million Ways to Die (1986), it was like they couldn't imagine anyone else playing a drug lord. |
| 2 | Jennifer 8 (1992) is a movie that was reduced by 20 minutes and they took the heart out of the picture. They took three or four scenes of the interrogation out between me and John Malkovich. The script was originally called A Policeman's Story, and in the end, there was no policeman's story! It was a movie about him dealing with demons, and finding light and a muse in this blind girl. And there was an alcoholic struggle in the script which is not in the movie. It was a better film at 2 hours and 20 minutes long instead of 2 hours. There were electrifying moments between my character and Malkovich, and that interrogation was precluded by an all-night alcoholic binge by my character. When they come to arrest me, I was naked, with my pants down, in complete emotional shambles. But they cut that out and diminished the whole film. My character was in a very pitiful situation, and had begun to drink again because of the death of his partner. So when you cut to me sitting in the interrogation room all cleaned up, it's a front. So consequently it's a totally different movie. It's a thriller, and it works as a thriller, but that's all it is. How do you deeply care about people if you don't give the audience a chance to care about them or to understand them? That was my argument. So that was painful on many fronts, that whole process, for everybody concerned, really. |
| 3 | I spent seven years without working, so if they're making cop movies, I'll play cops. I got two kids to bring up. |
| 4 | I'm an exile. My father had the courage to leave with his wife, his mother and three children under twelve. It took more courage to leave, to sacrifice everything for freedom, than to stay. |
| 5 | I never applied to go back to Cuba. They did invite me to the Havana Film Festival, but I am opposed to the regime in Cuba. I'd have liked to go back every day of my life. But in honor of all the people who have died and suffered under that regime, I'm not able to make that leap. |
| 6 | They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that. |
| 7 | Freedom is not negotiable. |
| 8 | You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies. |
