Freestyle For Life - A Novel by Latif Mercado

I took Yolanda from around the waist and kissed her on her cheek, then I positioned her to face the crowd, and she waved some more as girls from the crowd called out her name, and guys whistled. I asked for the audience's attention, and they quieted down. Then I turned to my beautiful manager. I looked her in the eyes as she tilted her head slightly trying to figure out what I was up to. Then her eyes widened and her head straightened. She got the idea when I suddenly stuck my hand into my jacket pocket.

An unexpected emotion began overcoming me, I couldn't believe what I was feeling, as if I was about to cry. I was choked up and thought that if I said something, I would crack. But it was too late now, I had to push through it. I sucked in the tears, Yolanda stared at me, her eyes too began to water and the muscles in her face pulled it into a smile. Her gorgeous whites illuminated her face like an angel.

For the first time ever, life seemed perfect. I looked at this incredible person standing in front of me, in disbelief that I was about to propose to her. My eyes quickly glanced to the side toward the audience, and there was Santos standing below at the foot of the stage.

He was smiling, and because he knew what was going to happen before it did, he seemed to feel a part of it. This would be a story he would tell for the rest of his life. I looked back at my soon to be, and said, "Yolanda Fuentes?" Her smile widened. "You have been an Angel to me. Not only in my career, but more importantly, my life."

I pulled out the small black ring box and held it in front of me. Yolanda's jaw dropped as I opened it. Her eyes went from the ring back up to me, she stared me in the eyes in a way that told me it would be a yes, and then suddenly her eyes shifted from my eyes to over my shoulder.

She screamed and before I could turn all the way around I felt a tremendous push from behind me. The ring box flew from my hand, I managed to keep my balance remaining on my feet when a second hit knocked me down. My arms were held behind me making it impossible to shield my face from the oncoming floor. All went black! ... Read More

Freestyle by La'


The First Men's Cologne Designed Especially For The Freestyle Community!

Who would've thought, that 20 years later, Freestyle would have its own cologne? Not me! Freestyle by La' is just that, a unique fine fragrance created by me, Latif Mercado. This is something I've always wanted to do. Was it difficult? Absolutely! Confusing? Hell yea. But somehow someway, I figured it out. And now, 500 gallons and over $40k in the hole, I created the first Cologne ever dedicated to the Freestyle Community.
Now all you have to do is get yourself a bottle and become a part of Freestyle history.Freestyle by La' debuted at the 2008 Freestyle Music Awards (also created by... me!). I'm sorry, I'm not trying to brag, just trying to make a point. What point you might ask? Just that no matter what they say, Freestyle isn't dead. No, it's here and actually growing.
In the last few years, Freestyle has made a remarkable resurgence and Freestyle club and concert events have been everywhere. From Miami to Los Angeles, New York to Hawaii I must take my hat off to all who have been a part of this incredible movement.
For those who attended the 2008 FMA's, you probably got a bottle of Freestyle by La'. It was in the goody bags for all to take, free of charge. But the FMA's are over till next year, but Freestyle by La' is still here and hopefully its success will give us the opportunity to release a female version.Right now, I do need the support of the Freestyle community.
From the artist to the fans, DJs. producers, everyone. Not only should you all get a bottle for yourself, but help us move them into the market. I have created various business opportunities for the Entrepreneurs of Freestyle, so if you are interested in making some money and smell good doing it, then contact me, either email latif@la-entertainment.com or phone 704-226-8900
