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 Motiv8 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. Unfortunately, the life Conejo was rapping about was still very much a reality at the time, leading him to become a fugitive of the law for the next 15 years. In 2016, the MC was captured and extradited back to the United States, where he found himself fighting a myriad of wrongful felony charges and the death penalty. Shortly after his release, longtime friend and famed film director David Ayer (Fury, End of Watch) offered Conejo a starring role to star alongside Shia Labeouf and George Lopez in the Los Angeles crime thriller, The Tax Collector, releasing August 7th. The chance opportunity granted him another gig as the role of Oscar in FOX series The Deputy. With a new lease on life, Conejo launched his clothing line, Bonarue, as well as his record company, The Sinister Kingdom Music.
