"Married to the Mob" is currently T.F. Mafia's biggest Internet hit, ranking number one in Internet sales, downloads and ringtones. The "Married to the Mob" music video featuring Max Biggavelli has garnered over 60,000 views to date. Unfortunately, Max B. was just convicted on a murder charge and faces a life in prison term.
T.F. Mafia's second single "Loose Control" received maximum mix tape/mix CD exposure from DJ's around the world. It currently remains a huge club banger in the U.S., Japan, Germany, and the U.K. New York City's top radio host and DJ's such as DJ Enuff, DJ Self, The world famous DJ Clue (MTV's Sucka Free Sunday's video host), and DJ Kay Slay (owner of Straight Stuntin Magazine and Streetsweeper Entertainer) have all continued to support T.F.. Mafia singles. T.F. Mafia has enjoyed regular spins on both Hot 97, and Power 105 since May 2008 with their release of their first single "Married to the Mob". Despite the enormous amount of radio airplay "Loose Control" received in New York City and around the globe, T.F. Mafia opted to drop this hit record from the "Bossilini" album due to a vocal sample of The Notorious B.I.G., a.k.a. Biggie Smalls. "Loose Control" is now only available for sale digitally.
The current and third single from T.F. Mafia "Everybody Knows" featuring Papoose is picking up where "Loose Control" left off, gaining radio airplay in the United States and around the globe. All DJ's who supported T.F. Mafia continue to show appreciation for the music T.F. Mafia puts out by playing this current single alongside several other T.F. Mafia releases. For this to be an underground rap group, T.F. Mafia has proven they can break through and remain present on American urban radio stations across the globe.
T.F. or "Together Forever" is so respected on the streets because they are the streets. T.F. was founded by Paulee Zance in 1984 in Coney Island Brooklyn. It's an organization of men, of brothers bound by the code of the streets, "Together Forever."
Since the inception of the organization they have been a target of NYPD, FBI and other government agencies. All labeling the organization as a violent street gang, murderers, drug dealers and thugs. They formed a Rap group in the early 1990's called "Brooklyn Zoo" and were signed to the Cold Chillin Record Label where they had several hit singles including "Masters of the Zooniverse" and "Boo."
There was controversy surrounding the group when a major conflict ensued with "Old Dirty Bastard" (ODB) of the Wu-Tang Clan. Old Dirty Bastard responded to Brooklyn Zoo's hit single with a Diss Record titled "Brooklyn Zoo." At the height of Brooklyn Zoo's fame, the FBI swooped in and hit the "Together Forever" (T.F.) organization. Its leaders, Paulee Zance and Rog-A-RAB were convicted on various federal charges. T.F.'s leadership went to maximum security prisons due to their notorious street status as "Kingpin" gang leaders.
After release from prison RAB AKA Rog-A-RAB decided to leave his illegal past behind and re-establish his Rap group notoriety. He formed a new Rap Group and Record Label called T.F. Mafia. RAB and Paulee Zance are the co-founders and officers of the new company. RAB said, "The Rap game is in need of real music, not these commercial, fake, studio gangstas." T.F. is as real as it gets. The streets got love for T.F. While there are thousands of the original T.F. members worldwide, the Rap group has left behind the drugs, guns, murders, gangs, Feds and Federal prison. While that was part of their background it is no longer part of their new life.
RAB raps about his life. He can rap about things that most people can't talk about like 7 straight years in a maximum security federal penitentiary and he is a stand up man, he didn't have to tell or snitch like most of these studio thugs in the game right now.
T.F. Mafia's next video is for "Everybody Knows" featuring "Papoose". T.F. engaged acclaimed director Caesar Augustus of Augustus Films to create and shoot the video. Caesar Augustus has directed and produced videos for such artists as Asher Roth, Barrington Levy, Kardinal Offishall, Freeway, Jakk Frost, Wayne Wonder, Ninja Man to name a few. T.F. Mafia has also recruited Supermodel and Diva Karina Bradley for the video. The video will be shot in New York in the next couple of weeks.
The Album is available from the T.F. Mafia website and Amazon.com
