"The name Hego has no association with the word ego; HEGO represents my full name Hector Gonzalez. For the past decade I have been trying to master the craft of MCing. Residing from East Side San Jo, CalifAtzlan, my environment has become the ultimate motivator of my music. My words and writings are just mere reflections of my version of the truth. This generation has been the most destructive to the universe in the form of war, violence, decease, hunger, poverty and greed... and so I express my feelings in the form of Hip Hop..."--Hego
