Biography

Tha Connect is Willy Northpole's first album. It was originally scheduled to be released in the summer of 2008 but was then pushed back to June 2009. Ludacris was supposed to be on his album, but the track he was to collaborate on did not clear in time for the album release date. Poor sales for the album were blamed on a lack of promotion and the death of Michael Jackson two days after the release of the album.

In 2009, he was honored by the City of Phoenix as a 'Friend of Phoenix' in recognition of his youth work.[3]
