Nene Encarnacion, also known as Myzery, is a Puerto Rican rapper based out of the Bronx in New York City. He was the first solo act signed with Psychopathic Records, and released his debut EP titled Para La Isla on the label in 1998.[1] Following his departure from Psychopathic Records, Myzery continued to release albums independently.[2] He later returned to Psychopathic Records to release 2018's The Demon Angel.[3]
Career
Born in the
Myzery's first widespread appearance with the label was a cameo in the music video for Insane Clown Posse's song
In 1999, Myzery appeared in the movie
Myzery was announced to appear at the initial Gathering of the Juggalos event in 2000, but ultimately did not appear. He made a return at the 2001 Gathering of the Juggalos, but after the performances, he had an altercation with labelmates Twiztid and Blaze Ya Dead Homie at a hotel. Violent J insisted that fighting within the family wasn't healthy, and Myzery distanced himself from Psychopathic Records.[10] The beef was later squashed years later. He continued to release albums independently, such as 2002's The Red Eye and 2003's Bad Influence. Myzery also made a guest appearance on Jumpsteady's second album Master of the Flying Guillotine in 2005. From 2007 to 2009, rumors circulated on the internet that Myzery had died. Apparently, a friend of Myzery had created the rumor. But the intent wasn't to fake Myzery's death; rather, it was to signify that Myzery's rapping career was over. The rumor was invalidated and unappreciated by Myzery, causing severed ties within the crew.[11]
After the rumor was squashed, Myzery reappeared with the intent to continue rapping. His first independent release upon his return was the Heaven or Hell mixtape. He then announced that his newest album was to be titled The Demon Angel, and he had made his return to the Gathering of the Juggalos in 2012.[12] In addition, his rare underground album Love/Hate became a free download on his website, along with a recording he did for the 2004 Puerto Rican Day Parade. Also, Myzery compiled tracks that he considered most worthy throughout his career, and released it as His.Story. Myzery also started to collaborate with Psychopathic Records again. He appeared on DJ Clay's 2013 mixtape A World Upside Down: The Mixxtape, Insane Clown Posse's 2017 reissue of The Great Milenko, and a 2017 Psychopathic Records EP with various artists titled Bloody Screams of 17 (which was given away during Myzery's appearance at Hallowicked 2017 and later sold online).[13] Myzery's comeback album The Demon Angel was originally announced in October 2010; however, 8 years later, it was finally released at the 2018 Gathering of the Juggalos, packaged together with Para La Isla 20th Anniversary Edition. The first CD consisted of Myzery's debut EP Para La Isla, along with five unreleased tracks that were recorded during the same era. The second CD consisted of The Demon Angel in its official and final capacity. The double disc bundle was released on Psychopathic Records, as it marked Myzery's return to his former label.
