Jose Martin, better known as Conejo, is a rap artist and cultural figure in his native Los Angeles who has released over 100 albums. In the late 1980s, Conejo began crafting music alongside Black Eyed Peas DJ Motive8 and continued the relationship through the early 90s. His music helped paint a picture of the harsh reality of the lives of young gang members in inner-city L.A, and while Conejo's music didn't glamorize gang culture, the vivid depictions of his life presented deeply relatable stories that rapidly attracted supporters of his music. His lyrics provided a glimpse of the crime-infested environment and sad reality that plagued many immigrant families.
