Born ShampelC Jackson in North Minneapolis Minnesota. Pain began to rap like her older brothers Devastating Dee; King Kel C; Battle Master TLC.Together known as the IRM Crew. Pain writes about the experiances growing up traveling between Minneapolis and South Central LA in a time when 10 thousand evils danced freely from The Slawson Swapmeet to the Sumner Olson housing projects. The streets ran red with the blood of the innocent. The humble tears of a young nation agonizing over the dramas of war offered no comfort to the torn souls of the sons & daughters left behind drifting in uncertainty in this place we call North Side. Here like in other overly urbanized places there lives a dark evil. Haunting the hearts and heads of the leftover children forcing us to either except our conditions or fight to the death to change them. To chose not to fight is to be the living dead. To chose to fight is to be the living target. Faced with this she did the only thing she could do. Listen closely to industry insiders like Big CBo. The end result of 10 years in underground Crip Music is THE WEIGHT OF PAIN COLLECTIONS. A formal introduction to the darkest parts of free will. The britest parts of Faith.The thin line inbetween. Tempered with elements of divine rightiousness just out of the grasp of her outstretched hand. One day in the last days of Black Market Records. Ced Singleton and Pain went to Sacramentos Live Wire studio. On the way in the door. Ced was stoped by 2 men he quickly introduced Pain to G-Macc & Tre 8. A few swishers later the 3, deciding that flags are thicker than money and principal weighed more than fame. Came up with a concept for the future of underground music and GMAC & Pain got in the car with & Tre 8.
