Joker (From LSD)

Born: May 12, 1976 Riverside, CA Died: January 25, 2020 Riverside , CA Born Chris Ledezma-Ron, he attended Norte Vista High School '94. Riverside, CA. Familia Records blessed us with a glimpse of the Lyrikal Sound Dealerz as early as 1992 with the single and instrumental "Brown Pride". A beautifully crafted instrumental showcasing the groups strong point: sampling. Yes, sampling and production is what makes their debut album incredible and a must have in your collection. As the Joker of LSD said it: "the Inland Empire; Riverside to San Bernardino, two counties related getting faded like our primos". This quote really ties the story of the 1995 album "Fully Strapped". So let me clarify this, Joker and JBM are LSD (from Riverside) and the other rappers you hear on the album are actually another group (from SB) called Fully Strapped (A-Bomb, Channel Brown, Mocha and Rated-X). Murry Brumfield put his "creative" touch on the album and made them one single group with the album title being an homage to the latter group. The group Fully Strapped released an album the year before called "Hostile Takeover" (some of these songs can be heard on other Familia Records releases). On January 25th 2020 Chris Ledezma Ron lost his long battle with Cancer/Liver Disease.
