Chicano rapper Madogg represents the "805," or as it's commonly known, Oxnard, CA. His 2000 debut, Beware of Dog, became a favorite of the influential, nationally syndicated Pocos Pero Locos radio show, which helped expose his gangsta style to the Latin rap faithful. In 2005 he made the jump to the major labels with his Word on the Street album appearing on EMI. Besides rapping, Madogg is also a producer and remixer, having worked on the debut single from Lil' Easy-E. ~ David Jeffries
