Won-G

Heads Up! Another Celebrity XanGo user is here... Meet Won-G!! =) A Haitian-born rapper/tycoon. I honestly haven't heard of him before... not until the day I found out he's a XanGo member... then I searched for him on the net, and viewed his videos on YouTube. Pretty cool guy! His hit song, "Caught Up in the Rapture" has a danceable beat that grows on you.. the kind that sticks to your head, and makes you wanna go out there and partaayy! See the videos below, and read his bio:

Few MC's can claim the accomplishments of Won-G, the Haiti Boy. His 10-year music career, during which he's released five independent albums, has culminated in his label deal with Sanctuary Urban Records helmed by Mathew Knowles. When at home in Beverly Hills, he drives around in his Rolls Royce Phantom or one of his new custom Hummers; when he's on the road, he travels in his self-owned tour bus.

He festoons himself with truly noteworthy jewelry: a King Midas Rolex, once belonging to Elvis Presley, and a 5 lb. gold bracelet, which he received as a gift from a late Saudi Arabian Prince. He regularly features pin-up beauties such as Carmen Electra, Tracey Bingham and Paris Hilton (whom he counts as personal friends) in his videos. All this - and he's just getting ready to release his first nationally distributed LP, Rage of the Age, on Real Sovage/Sanctuary Urban.

"Every empire I've built, I've built on my own," says the Haitian-born rapper/tycoon. "With the mass street credibility that I have achieved over the last ten years the next step was to get a great national distribution deal."

With the September 28th release of Rage of the Age, which has already produced a hit single and video "Caught Up in the Rapture," a homage to the seminal 1980 Blondie tune, "Rapture," Won-G is poised to bolster his street credibility to the national level.

This lead single finds Won-G pouring out his liquid wordplay over vocals from rising Argentinian superstar, Gizelle D’Cole. A Latin version of Madonna, Gizelle is destined to travel all corners of the world with the Haiti Boy. The hardcore, pulsating "Blind Man" and the Caribbean-inspired "I'm A Haitian" address prejudice against Haitians at home and abroad while offering some of the historical accomplishments of his beloved homeland, Haiti, the world's first Black Republic in 1804.

"This is my first major release as far as national MTV, BET and radio play are concerned," says Won-G. "Even though we have a pop crossover record for the masses, we're still keeping the streets on lock. And we're still keeping that underground Haitian community satisfied with our Creole, French, and Spanish records. I try to stay as close to the Haitian community as possible because, first and foremost, they are my people and they have shown me incredible support over the years."

From what I heard, he doesn't use foul language in his songs... and he might appear at XanGo's 6th Annual Anniversary Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah next month!! Dang, I soo wanna go there.. =D
