Hip-hop is all about keeping it real, and that’s exactly we’re doing here on Chronic Vacation today.  Over the past several months, rumors have run rampant about Damizza and his forthcoming autobiography “Guilty By Association.”  Is it a tell-all?  Is Mariah Carey gonna sue him?  Are the executives at Power 106 pissed off?  What’s Dr. Dre’s involvement?  We decided to cut out the middleman for this one and bring the truth straight to you guys.  This isn’t an interview.  It’s a conversation between two hip-hop fans, presented for other true hip-hop fans who want some answers.  Enjoy.

On Monday, June 15th, Damizza will finally speak out exclusively to ChronicVacation.com about all the controversial situations surrounding his memoirs and set the release date for “Guilty By Association” in his most candid interview to date!  Here’s what you can expect to read about:

• Mariah Carey’s Cease & Desist letter, and the subsequent worldwide press surrounding the announcement of his autobiography “Guilty By Association.”  “The truth isn’t always popular, but it’s always the truth,” says Damizza.
• Past highs & lows, including why he first introduced Eminem to Mariah Carey. “That was a mistake.”
• The downward spiral and ill-fated future of Power 106.  Starting in 1997, he built and kept Power as LA’s #1 radio station before his departure in 2003 as a Senior Programming Executive.  “It’s a sad situation, but I don’t think it can hold on much longer.”

Look out for the exclusive interview to drop on Monday. “Guilty By Association” by Damizza, J. Marshall Craig, and Eddie G - it’s coming!
