MN FATS

A Leader, C.E.O, Educator, Realist, and a True Friend; some people are just born with these rare elements. Meet Jason Brown, better known as MN Fats. More focused on educating and inspiring people on the lower soci-economic latter to go further, do better. He sees his self more as a rap philosopher; an avid book reader; Fats prefers titles where the authors force the reader to think. Books such as: “The Prince” by Machiavelli, “Souls of Black Folks” by W.E.B. Dubois, and “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene. With these habits it’s no wonder MN Fats; in 2003 started a independent record label WE ON Records, and has since taken him self and the label to national recognition. But it hasn’t been easy…

            Growing up in Chicago, ILL on the Westside; young Jason had it rough. His mother was a lady gangster; she fought, gambled and even had miscellaneous girlfriends during his childhood years. By the time Jason was eleven years old, he had already become accustomed to the violence that plagued his streets daily. He had become very distinguished in drugs and the way people induce them and their street value. Jason learned early about the essence of hustling and making money; his grandfather would host card parties being that Jason was the only child he would be at every one serving refreshments to the players. He would make tips up to $60 a night; get; maybe three hours of sleep, get up and head off to school. All this only in the sixth grade…

            By the time Fats was a teenager he was dealing drugs and living a very fast paced lifestyle. His situation my have been stressful but he never lost sight of his goal; to own and operate his own record label; and in 2003 he made his dream a reality. In that same year, WE ON Records released their first album “National Business” selling an astounding 14,000 copies! With the “WEON MIXTAPE Vol 1” as the follow up, pushing over 1,000 copies; “Baller Steet Journal” dropping in 2004, “Citiology” in 2005, “State Rehab” in 2006 and the E1 (formerly Koch Records) distributed album “Perfect Candidate” in 2007, reaching Billboard and scanning over 5,000 copies. In 2009 the label put out a memorable album to Fats dear friend and WE ON Records artist Famis The High Life Man; he was murdered in Jan of 2007. It’s an emotional topic for the Boss man, “He was my best friend, a real nigga, a good man. Nothing really seems the same, he was my right hand.”

            Already a respected emcee, Fats took his time and learned the music industry inch by inch. Forever the solider and determined leader; Fats earned his college degree in 2006 in Music Business. Ever since then, he has knocked down door after door for the Midwest. He has worked with artists such as: Jim Jones, Johnny P, Cam’ron and DJ Drama. He currently recorded a new track “Lay You on the Bed” with the Doggfather him self; Snoop Dogg. “This will be big for the city, make people pay attention to Minneapolis and the Midwest. There is a lot going on here.”

            Even with the success and bright lights Fats has never forgotten where he comes from: “The difference between you and I is: struggle, I know everyone has struggled but this is America, land of the free. Although there is nothing free in my neighborhood I do not cry I preserve further to success. My background allows me to delegate ideas way beyond the average man, I’ve seen it all and done most of it still not knowing if early exposure ruined my upbringing, or made me less susceptible to making reoccurring mistakes of my elders. My mind state is that of a concrete solider; things that may bewilder the average person are typical to me. That makes me barbaric to some; to those that are familiar with the circumstances from which I come from, they label me one thing. A survivor.

            Spoken like a true Philosopher.
