BIO
In 2007, Gorilla Zoe entered the jungle known as the rap game simply hoping to adjust to his new habitat.  But, one year after his mega-single, "Hood Nigga," and the world-wide success of his debut album Welcome To the Zoo, Zoe is securing and defending his own territory with his newest effort, Don't Feed Da Animals.

Acting as both a forewarning and a told-you-so, Don't Feed Da Animals speaks to what happens when you don't follow advice.  As hungry an artist as you will ever find, the rapper born Alonzo Mathis only needed one shot to prove that he had the talent and voice to become a household name.  When Block Ent. CEO Russell "Block" Spencer gave Zoe that chance as a soloist and member of supergroup Boyz N Da Hood, it opened the gates for this Gorilla to wreak havoc.

"My first album was all real life; I was just talking about where I was at, at that time," says Zoe about his debut, which peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top Rap albums chart.  "Now, I've tasted success and been around the world, but I'm still hood.  You see me in the same places you met me.  I don't have money like Bill Gates or Jay-Z, but I'm hood-rich and I'm telling my story from that point of view."

Songs like the autobiographical "Man I" speak to Zoe's ascension from a wayward youth strolling the streets of Atlanta looking for a place to stay, to a man who was able to improve his quality of life.  So do songs like "Get Away" and "Dope Boi," where Zoe simply enjoys the fruits of his labor without alienating those who haven't made it to the top, yet.

"I've watched so many folks get money, leave the hood, and think they're better than everyone else," says Zoe.  "I ain't gonna change who I am; I don't think success means you've got to leave or change who you are.  But at the same time some change is good.  Anything that doesn't change isn't alive.  People, just like flowers, grow, bloom, and die.  If I'm gonna grow, bloom, and die, I'm gonna make sure people love me."

In addition to traveling the world through touring, in the past year Zoe has made a name for himself via guest spots on both rap and R&B songs by his labelmates Yung Joc and JC.  Hoping to display more of his versatility, Don't Feed Da Animals has plenty of songs showing Zoe's growth as a recording artist.

"Get Off Me" has the raspy-voiced rapper demonstrating complete mastery of his distinct vocal tones, while "Ladadi" has the hood nigga crushing all stereotypes and flowing over a Crystal Waters sample.  He also experiments with different cadences on songs such as the high-tempo "Salute" and the hood narrative "Another Day."

"In making this album, I've learned what to do with my voice," says Zoe, citing the lead single, "On The Corner" featuring Sean Kingston, as a prime example.  "I know what sounds fit me, so I'm in my zone right now.  I understand that it's ok to just be me, instead of jumping in and out of trends."

Unafraid to do a little of what's considered the norm, Zoe manages to bring his own appeal to tracks like "S.W.A.G.G." featuring Shawty Lo and Rocko, and "44" featuring T-Pain.

"I look at everything and everybody accordingly," says Zoe.  "I've seen people look at me like I'm nothing but a dope boy, or say I'm not a real hip-hop artist.  I don't make music for those people.  That's why I call mines 'relative music' - it's made for people to relate to.  I'm the hood spokesperson and my clientele will grow with me."

Puzo nació en Nueva York en 1920. Falleció el 2 de julio de 1999.

Una de las familias más famosas del cine es la de Don Vito Corleone, más conocido como “El Padrino” (The Godfather), el gran capo de la mafia que llegó a EE.UU. desde Sicilia siendo un niño, para luego convertirse en un hombre poderoso y temido. Este personaje ficticio de Mario Puzo tiene grandes semejanzas a famosos mafiosos italianos, como: Willie Moretto o Lucky Luciano.

La novela, publicada en 1969, se convirtió en todo un best-seller traducido a más de veinte lenguas. Luego, fue llevada al cine por el legendario director estadounidense Francis Ford Coppola (el guión fue escrito en colaboración con el propio Puzo). El film se convirtió en una trilogía, con un éxito triunfal.

En un comienzo, la mafia se opuso al rodaje de la película de la Paramount. A través de unos cambios en el guión, como: eliminar referencias explícitas a la “Mafia” o la “Cosa Nostra” utilizando en su lugar la expresión "las Cinco Familias", se llegó a un acuerdo entre Al Ruddy, productor de la película, y Tony Colombo, hijo del importante capo de Nueva York Joe Colombo.

La historia que encierra la trilogía

En 1972 la pantalla grande exhibía El Padrino, considerada una obra maestra del cine. El film se destaca por: puesta en escena e impecable fotografía. Además, cuenta con musicalización a cargo de Nino Rota y Carmine Coppola y una dirección de arte inigualable. En cuanto al reparto, sin palabras -Marlon Brando y Al Pacino dioses del cine.

La primera parte de la trilogía recorre la vida de Don Corleone (jefe de una familia mafiosa). El momento crucial procede cuando rechaza participar en el negocio del narcotráfico, iniciándose de esa manera una guerra entre “las cinco familias”, que casi acaba con su vida. Por lo que Michael, el hijo menor, interviene en esta lucha sangrienta que lo iniciará en su nuevo destino: convertirse en el nuevo Don.

A los dos años del estreno del Padrino continuó la saga. La trama está vinculada con la anterior, transcurre en los años 50 y sigue a la familia Corleone regida por Michael. Sin embargo, también se presenta un flashback que cuenta la historia de Vito, desde su juventud en Sicilia hasta la fundación de la familia criminal Corleone en Nueva York, y de los nacimientos de sus hijos.

Finalmente, en el Padrino III, estrenada en 1990, se relata como después de algunos años Michael ha tomado el control de la familia y trata de limpiar el nombre de ésta hasta hacerla parecer respetable. Sin embargo, deberá pagar un precio y la sangre seguirá siendo la protagonista del film.

On October 31, Vincent "Don Vito" Magera, uncle of MTV reality show star Bam Magera was found guilty of groping three underage girls at an autograph signing in the Colorado Mills Malls, in Lakewood Colorado.

According to the Rocky Mountain News, upon hearing the verdict, Magera, who has appeared with his nephew on the shows, Viva La Bam and Jackass, collapsed to the ground, screaming, "Jesus! I can't spend the rest of my f------ life in jail! Just f------ kill me now!"

Magera was convicted of two counts of sexual misconduct with a child for groping the breasts of two girls, aged 12 and 14. He is also required to register as a sex offender.

Sentencing is scheduled for December 20. He faces a sentence of either two to six years in prison, or probation. He also faces charges for violating the conditions of his bail, and is charged with 12 counts in that case, which comes up for preliminary hearing in December.
