Where Are They (PosNeg)

The 90's gave way to an emergence of hiphoppers thirsty for the spotlight, fame and fortune. Posneg was no exception. This group bursted on to the scene with fascinating catchy bassy playful lyrics such as: No Doubt, Deathlist and Riches. Some of you may not be familiar with this underground rap group of the 90's but others may be able to run you through their underground success. With tracks produced by Lord Finesse himself and originating from the same stomping grounds as Fat Joe, Big Pun and Kid Capri. This group was well on their way to success.

Who Is Posneg

Posneg consisted of Waltbaby aka Walter, Solex, Kema aka Americanboi/Meko and Lakenya aka sniper. Waltbaby,Solex, Kema and Sniper grew up in the rough part of the South Bronx, NY, with hopes of becoming not only emcees but also entrepreneurs. Waltbaby, the brains behind the idea, created waltbaby entertainment Inc. and soon began to scout for talent, eventually he came across aspiring artists; Solex,  Kema and Lakenya and together they formed the independent record label of the 90's known as waltbaby entertainment. Posneg performed in some of the most prestigious arenas and opened for acts such as Lord Finesse and even Kathy Lee Gifford. This group embodied evolution and hope for the youth, in fact, one of posneg's very publicized songs was called "this is for the youth"

What happend?

Many of Posneg's fan's were dispappointed when they broke apart and even today, fans and supporters ask where are they now? Posneg's disbandment was a direct result of tragedy, disaggrement & unharmonious growth sprouting. Sadly, Solex encountered an early demise, after being murdered over a phone; Kema chose to study the bible and become a Jehovah's Witness, Lakenya obtained a scholorship to college and graduated with a bachelors degree and Walter continued to try to make the dream a reality, however, without the substance of the group, the dream could not materialize.

Where Are They Now?

Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate Walter, but I am glad to say that I still communicate with Lakenya. She's happily married and is currently looking forward to adding a new member to her growing family. And as for myself, I am unaffiliated with the Jehovah's Witness Organization and am currently representing the LGBT community; supporting and promoting real talent and real dreams.
