Artist History P.O.R. WORKED ON TRACKS WITH LFL PRODUCTIONS. WITH THEIR GOAL OF GOLD AND PLATINUM HITS, P.O.R. AND LFL HAVE BEEN FUSING THEIR LYRICS AND MUSIC FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. SUCH SONGS AS THEIR FIRST SINGLE A TEDDY PENDAGRASS CLASSIC "COME GO WITH ME" FEATURING SHOMARI, "SIGNIFYING RAPPERZ", "GET UP GET DOWN,"BROTHER 2 BROTHER" AND "HOW MUCH SHIT".THEIR EXPERIENCES HAVE LED THEM TO ANALYZE THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS SO THAT THEY CAN BETTER FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE INTIMATE DETAILS OF OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT OF BOTH THE MUSIC AND VIDEO INDUSTRY. AFTER THIS UNDERTAKING THEY FORMED P.O.R. MANAGEMENT AND PUBLISHING COMPANY P.O.R. MUSIC TO PROPAGATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTISTS. PRESENTLY THEY MANAGE THEMSELVES AND FEMALE VOCALIST TANGELA. IN 1997 THEY FORMED AN INDEPENDENT LABEL "FO THE FAM ENTERTAINMENT INC.". AFTER THEIR EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE RECORDING INDUSTRY THEY SURMISED THAT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO PROTECT THEIR CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC PRODUCTIONS. THE STRATEGY IS TO ESTABLISH FO THE FAM ENTERTAINMENT AS A PLAYER IN THE INDUSTRY WITH A MULTITUDE OF TALENT WHICH THE PEOPLE CAN ENJOY AND RELATE.AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LABEL, AND ITS ARTISTS, WILL BE A COMPILATION ALBUM FEATURING P.O.R. AND TANGELA ENTITLED "FO THE FAM: VOLUME ONE".
