[edit] Biography
Myzery (real name: Nene Encarnacion) began rapping with a crew called the Boriqua Bee-Hive, under the moniker Rhyme Recker. Myzery was signed to Psychopathic Records when Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse heard a demo through his brother Jumpsteady. Jumpsteady had married Myzery's sister Nancy, so he was brought in as a family favor. In 1998, Myzery joined Psychopathic Records. He released only one EP album entitled "Para La Isla" ("For The Island"). While Myzery was signed to Psychopathic Records, he appeared in many different undertakings. Under the gangster name of "Twin Gatz", he appeared on the first Psychopathic Rydas album, he made an appearance on a track for Twiztid's original "Mostasteless" record, and even appeared in ICP's movie "Big Money Hu$tla$ (as Green Willy). He also made a cameo alongside Twiztid in ICP's "Hokus Pokus" music video.
Over the course of his career, Myzery has had numerous albums retitled or scrapped altogether. The "4 Faces" concept was originally going to be a full LP, with each of four personas contributing. Once he left Psychopathic Records, that idea was nixed. Also after leaving, he planned to revisit the Psychopathic Rydas idea with his own crew, called the "Spanish Side Rydas". Many tracks were recorded, but all that was released was "Rydas 4 Life," a Twin Gatz solo comprised of jacked beats from many well-known rap songs from artists such as Eminem, Fort Minor, and 50 Cent(featuring most of the Spanish Side Rydas in cameo appearances). He was to have released an album called "Confessions" as well as a mixtape, both of which have become MIA over the last year. Finally, his "Luv & Hate" album has been announced (and shot down) numerous times after being supposedly finished for over 2 years, citing production times, sampling problems, distribution issues, and other erroneous causes.
Myzery supposedly passed away January 07, 2007 of a "fatal incident" after visiting his family over the Christmas holiday from rehabilitation. It is said that the three albums he was working on at the time (Luv & Hate, Angels 'N' Demons, & Twin Gatz Reloaded) will be released within 2007. This was stated on the Myzery website on January 30, 2007. There has been no confirmation on any independent websites and his 'death' is widely believed to be a very bad publicity stunt.
It was revealed by Blaze Ya Dead Homie on his WFUCKOFF Radio show "The Coffin" on February 15th, that Myzery is in fact not dead. His source is Violent J's brother Jumpsteady, who is the brother in law of Myzery.
[edit] Falling out with Psychopathic Records
Violent J, the frontman of the Insane Clown Posse has been quoted as saying, "I always had the feeling that Myzery thought our music was whack. It seemed like he just wanted to get his break so he hung out. It seemed like he thought the Dark Carnival was a joke... See, Psychopathic is into some bizarre shit and it has that reputation. Myzery is more into New York raps... I don't think they liked our ideas. They said our crowd wasn't their crowd. As for me, I don't give a fuck! Any crowd is my kind of crowd as long as they some Juggalos!!! But they just stressed that they wanted to get a bigger hip hop, rap only crowd. Hangin' around with us was killing that for them I think. Myzery went back to New York to try some other avenues. We stop over and hang when we come through New York. My brother is really close with his family. I wish that ninja and his homie Poncho mad luck out there."
[edit] Post-Psychopathic years
Myzery left Psychopathic Records in June of 1999. For a time, he quit the rap game and moved to Arizona. Eventually, he moved back to Long Island and resumed his recording habits. In 2001, he released his four track "4 Faces" album, mainly consisting of tracks that he recorded while still under contract to Psychopathic Records.
In May of 2002, he was giving away copies of his next album, "DP Inc.", at a Twiztid concert held in New York. This has been the only appearance of this record, and copies are extremely hard to come by. At that year's annual "Gathering of the Juggalos", Myzery made an unscheduled appearance, selling his newest cd, "Red Eye", out of a van a block away from the Peoria Civic Center. This was the same event at which the infamous Myzery/Twiztid scuffle took place. Myzery recorded a diss track against Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Anybody Killa entitled "Untwiztid" though Blaze and ABK are only mentioned in passing in the chorus. The track was relatively forgotten until it was resurrected for use on Lavel's Diamond Cuts Vol.1 Mixtape in Spring 2006. The use of the track without Myzery's knowledge prompted a statement on his website where it was said the track was used without his permission or even prior knowledge and that the beef between himself, Twiztid, and anyone else on Psychopathic Records had been long over.
After another year of not appearing anywhere, he again showed up at the "Gathering of the Juggalos", held this time in Ohio. He again had copies of a new album, "Bad Influence", and had set up a tent across the street from the event. It was this year that the now-disproven 'rape' scandal happened. Over the course of the next few years, Myzery has had little contact with Psychopathic Records and the juggalos. He made a small number of appearances with fellow ex-PSY employee Marz (artist), and they recorded at least one song ("9 MM") together. It has yet to be released.
