}}'''''Altverse II''''' (also referred to as '''''Altverse 2''''' or '''''Altverse 2.0''''') is a collaborative alternate history project that is based on the original ''[[Altverse]]'' timeline. The timeline and premise of ''Altverse II'' revolves around the major {{W|point of divergence}} from the original ''Altverse'' timeline where {{W|World War I}} does not occur in 1914 when Serbian nationalist {{W|Gavrilo Princip}} fails to assassinate {{W|Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria}}. <br />
<br />
The project builds on the elements and lore established by ''Altverse'', as well as its principles, conventions, and ideas. It also adds a stronger commitment towards creating a unique and interesting alternate history timeline. It is dedicated to creating high-quality articles which covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to: countries, governments, individuals, corporations, languages, religion, popular culture, geography, and more. Its goal is to achieve an organic, passionate, and community-driven environment where its contributors are able to contribute to the world. Although ''Altverse II'' is an alternate history timeline, it is also a live, realtime geopolitical roleplaying project, and is intended to fulfill the same vision the original ''Altverse'' was set out to achieve.<br />
<br />
On May 21, 2020, the project began in Alpha Mode as it began work on history-related articles related to the new timeline. During Alpha Mode, contemporary events and roleplaying will remain in stasis as contributors work on developing the timeline between 1914 and the [[Great War]] (c. 1950s). On May 25, 2020, after a year of development in Alpha Mode, the project was moved to Beta Mode, with Centrist16 citing progress towards the timeline beyond [[Great War II]] with the [[Cold War]] and revisitation on the pre-1914 PODs in the Americas.<br />
<br />
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, ''Altverse II'' has a total of {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Altverse II|pages}} canonical articles (that have been accounted for and verified as canon).<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
<br />
The development and progression of ''Altverse II'' has been divided into four separate stages. Each stage of development plans to focus on particular aspects, topics, and issues related to the project that will be addressed and resolved prior to official release.<br />
<br />
===Alpha Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Alpha Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Alpha Mode began on May 20, 2020 and was the first stage of development on ''Altverse II''. After a little more than a year of development, it ended on May 25, 2021. It focused on establishing a generalized outline, overview, and timeline for the project, as well as create articles for all events and subjects identified as central towards the timeline. It began work on conforming existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for migration into ''Altverse II''.<br />
<br />
===Beta Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Beta Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Beta Mode is the current stage of development, and began on May 25, 2021. It will build upon the progress established in Alpha Mode by further refining the timeline details of ''Altverse II'', establishing project rules and conventions, and adding more content to core timeline-sensitive event articles. The adaptation of existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for ''Altverse II'' will continue, while new ''Altverse II'' articles will be created accordingly to reflect the new timeline.<br />
<br />
===Pre-release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Pre-Release Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Pre-release is an upcoming stage of development which will focus on finalizing the most important timeline details of ''Altverse II'' and their related articles. Further rules and conventions will be added or clarified. Every article associated with ''Altverse I'' will be identified for migration and adaptation or rejection. Contemporary events and preparations for roleplaying events or scenarios will be discussed and explored prior to moving forward into the official release.<br />
<br />
===Official release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II (banner).svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Official release is a future point in the project when ''Altverse II'' will be considered fully functional and suitable to operate as a live, realtime roleplaying project in the same manner as the original ''Altverse'' project. At this point, the project is no longer focused on alternate history as the essential details and events of the timeline's past have already been established. New nations and applications may continue to be proposed, which may require changing certain details on the timeline if necessary. More rules and conventions can continue to be further expounded and any articles from ''Altverse I'' which have not been migrated at this point may continue to be done so promptly.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
{{Main|Overview Timeline (Altverse II)}}<br />
<br />
==Differences from ''Altverse I''==<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a revised version of the original ''[[Altverse I|Altverse]]'' timeline. Unlike the original, ''Altverse II'' aims to be a more traditional alternate history timeline (in terms of timeline cohesion and plausibility) while retaining the level of worldbuilding immersion and roleplaying aspects of the original timeline. It is heavily inspired by, but not dictated by, the original lore from ''Altverse''. As such, it includes countries such as the [[Kingdom of Sierra]] and the [[United Commonwealth]]. Unlike the original timeline, there are several points of divergence, most of which are in the mid-19th century in the Americas and the early 20th century in Eurasia. <br />
<br />
Although ''Altverse II'' seeks to avoid resorting to historical determinism, it acknowledges that [[List of ATL and OTL equivalents in Altverse II|analogues]] may be desired, if not necessary. The timeline is also deliberately conceived as a "hard/soft alternate history timeline" by balancing reasonable plausibility with a reasonable degree of creative liberties and freedoms for worldbuilding potential. Unlike ''Altverse'', ''Altverse II'' has more concise rules and standards pertaining to the timeline integrity and canonicality of events.<br />
<br />
==Rules and conventions==<br />
<br />
===Overview===<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a collaborative timeline and real-time geopolitical roleplaying project. It is distinct from the popularized map game format because it is not turn-based or primarily documented through a timeline. Unlike map games, the emphasis of ''Altverse II'' is to create an immersive worldbuilding project set in an alternate timeline of the Earth through high-quality articles covering various subjects, including, but not limited to countries, politicians, governments, political parties, corporations, celebrities, cultures, languages, religions, economies, products, wars, diplomatic events, and more. There are no players in the traditional sense. Each and every contributor is free to contribute however way they believe will enhance and enrich the world of ''Altverse II'' for the benefit of all. Contributors generally maintain authorship over a main country but may write for several countries (or no countries at all), as well as jointly contribute a country with other users. There are no winners or losers as authors are focused on making their countries interesting, rather than making their countries materially wealthier, stronger, or superior. Since the goal of ''Altverse II'' is to stimulate a believable, dynamic geopolitics of the real world, as long as it is reasonable and plausible, a country may experience great success sometimes or a terrible crisis, even to the point of societal collapse and regime change. Furthermore, ''Altverse II'' goes beyond conceptualizing countries just as the sovereign state itself. It encourages and calls for contributors to flesh out detailed articles which may cover any conceivable aspect of the country. In other words, a contributor may decide to write about a particular city, an individual, a party, a company, a law, a television show, song, a popular food dish, an infamous criminal trial, or even an animal if it relates to their country. Generally, a contributor will work on the fundamentals first (i.e. the main country page, the government page, the history page, the parties page, the military page, and the major leaders page), but an exceptional contributor will branch out towards secondary content which will enhance understanding of their country.<br />
<br />
The quality of articles expected in ''Altverse II'' is to imitate the style, conventions, and aesthetics of high-quality Wikipedia article. Articles are to be written as if it were directed towards readers who were living in ''Altverse II'' itself had access the Wikipedia equivalent in that universe.<br />

Alpha Mode began on May 20, 2020 and was the first stage of development on ''Altverse II''. After a little more than a year of development, it ended on May 25, 2021. It focused on establishing a generalized outline, overview, and timeline for the project, as well as create articles for all events and subjects identified as central towards the timeline. It began work on conforming existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for migration into ''Altverse II''.<br />
<br />
===Beta Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Beta Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Beta Mode is the current stage of development, and began on May 25, 2021. It will build upon the progress established in Alpha Mode by further refining the timeline details of ''Altverse II'', establishing project rules and conventions, and adding more content to core timeline-sensitive event articles. The adaptation of existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for ''Altverse II'' will continue, while new ''Altverse II'' articles will be created accordingly to reflect the new timeline.<br />
<br />
===Pre-release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Pre-Release Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Pre-release is an upcoming stage of development which will focus on finalizing the most important timeline details of ''Altverse II'' and their related articles. Further rules and conventions will be added or clarified. Every article associated with ''Altverse I'' will be identified for migration and adaptation or rejection. Contemporary events and preparations for roleplaying events or scenarios will be discussed and explored prior to moving forward into the official release.<br />
<br />
===Official release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II (banner).svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Official release is a future point in the project when ''Altverse II'' will be considered fully functional and suitable to operate as a live, realtime roleplaying project in the same manner as the original ''Altverse'' project. At this point, the project is no longer focused on alternate history as the essential details and events of the timeline's past have already been established. New nations and applications may continue to be proposed, which may require changing certain details on the timeline if necessary. More rules and conventions can continue to be further expounded and any articles from ''Altverse I'' which have not been migrated at this point may continue to be done so promptly.<br />

==Timeline==<br />
{{Main|Overview Timeline (Altverse II)}}<br />
<br />
==Differences from ''Altverse I''==<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a revised version of the original ''[[Altverse I|Altverse]]'' timeline. Unlike the original, ''Altverse II'' aims to be a more traditional alternate history timeline (in terms of timeline cohesion and plausibility) while retaining the level of worldbuilding immersion and roleplaying aspects of the original timeline. It is heavily inspired by, but not dictated by, the original lore from ''Altverse''. As such, it includes countries such as the [[Kingdom of Sierra]] and the [[United Commonwealth]]. Unlike the original timeline, there are several points of divergence, most of which are in the mid-19th century in the Americas and the early 20th century in Eurasia. <br />
<br />
Although ''Altverse II'' seeks to avoid resorting to historical determinism, it acknowledges that [[List of ATL and OTL equivalents in Altverse II|analogues]] may be desired, if not necessary. The timeline is also deliberately conceived as a "hard/soft alternate history timeline" by balancing reasonable plausibility with a reasonable degree of creative liberties and freedoms for worldbuilding potential. Unlike ''Altverse'', ''Altverse II'' has more concise rules and standards pertaining to the timeline integrity and canonicality of events.<br />
<br />
==Rules and conventions==<br />
<br />
===Overview===<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a collaborative timeline and real-time geopolitical roleplaying project. It is distinct from the popularized map game format because it is not turn-based or primarily documented through a timeline. Unlike map games, the emphasis of ''Altverse II'' is to create an immersive worldbuilding project set in an alternate timeline of the Earth through high-quality articles covering various subjects, including, but not limited to countries, politicians, governments, political parties, corporations, celebrities, cultures, languages, religions, economies, products, wars, diplomatic events, and more. There are no players in the traditional sense. Each and every contributor is free to contribute however way they believe will enhance and enrich the world of ''Altverse II'' for the benefit of all. Contributors generally maintain authorship over a main country but may write for several countries (or no countries at all), as well as jointly contribute a country with other users. There are no winners or losers as authors are focused on making their countries interesting, rather than making their countries materially wealthier, stronger, or superior. Since the goal of ''Altverse II'' is to stimulate a believable, dynamic geopolitics of the real world, as long as it is reasonable and plausible, a country may experience great success sometimes or a terrible crisis, even to the point of societal collapse and regime change. Furthermore, ''Altverse II'' goes beyond conceptualizing countries just as the sovereign state itself. It encourages and calls for contributors to flesh out detailed articles which may cover any conceivable aspect of the country. In other words, a contributor may decide to write about a particular city, an individual, a party, a company, a law, a television show, song, a popular food dish, an infamous criminal trial, or even an animal if it relates to their country. Generally, a contributor will work on the fundamentals first (i.e. the main country page, the government page, the history page, the parties page, the military page, and the major leaders page), but an exceptional contributor will branch out towards secondary content which will enhance understanding of their country.<br />
<br />
The quality of articles expected in ''Altverse II'' is to imitate the style, conventions, and aesthetics of high-quality Wikipedia article. Articles are to be written as if it were directed towards readers who were living in ''Altverse II'' itself had access the Wikipedia equivalent in that universe.<br />

===Forked states===<br />
<br />
Some states were once part of the Altverse canon but were removed upon departure of their authors. In order to both respect the creative rights of the original authors and preserve the Altverse canon, the original nations were forked and exist within their own universe.<br />

}}'''''Altverse II''''' (also referred to as '''''Altverse 2''''' or '''''Altverse 2.0''''') is a collaborative alternate history project that is based on the original ''[[Altverse]]'' timeline. The timeline and premise of ''Altverse II'' revolves around the major {{W|point of divergence}} from the original ''Altverse'' timeline where {{W|World War I}} does not occur in 1914 when Serbian nationalist {{W|Gavrilo Princip}} fails to assassinate {{W|Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria}}. <br />
<br />
The project builds on the elements and lore established by ''Altverse'', as well as its principles, conventions, and ideas. It also adds a stronger commitment towards creating a unique and interesting alternate history timeline. It is dedicated to creating high-quality articles which covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to: countries, governments, individuals, corporations, languages, religion, popular culture, geography, and more. Its goal is to achieve an organic, passionate, and community-driven environment where its contributors are able to contribute to the world. Although ''Altverse II'' is an alternate history timeline, it is also a live, realtime geopolitical roleplaying project, and is intended to fulfill the same vision the original ''Altverse'' was set out to achieve.<br />
<br />
On May 21, 2020, the project began in Alpha Mode as it began work on history-related articles related to the new timeline. During Alpha Mode, contemporary events and roleplaying will remain in stasis as contributors work on developing the timeline between 1914 and the [[Great War]] (c. 1950s). On May 25, 2020, after a year of development in Alpha Mode, the project was moved to Beta Mode, with Centrist16 citing progress towards the timeline beyond [[Great War II]] with the [[Cold War]] and revisitation on the pre-1914 PODs in the Americas.<br />
<br />
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, ''Altverse II'' has a total of {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Altverse II|pages}} canonical articles (that have been accounted for and verified as canon).<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
<br />
The development and progression of ''Altverse II'' has been divided into four separate stages. Each stage of development plans to focus on particular aspects, topics, and issues related to the project that will be addressed and resolved prior to official release.<br />

}}'''''Altverse II''''' (also referred to as '''''Altverse 2''''' or '''''Altverse 2.0''''') is a collaborative alternate history project that is based on the original ''[[Altverse]]'' timeline. The timeline and premise of ''Altverse II'' revolves around the major {{W|point of divergence}} from the original ''Altverse'' timeline where {{W|World War I}} does not occur in 1914 when Serbian nationalist {{W|Gavrilo Princip}} fails to assassinate {{W|Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria}}. <br />
<br />
The project builds on the elements and lore established by ''Altverse'', as well as its principles, conventions, and ideas. It also adds a stronger commitment towards creating a unique and interesting alternate history timeline. It is dedicated to creating high-quality articles which covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to: countries, governments, individuals, corporations, languages, religion, popular culture, geography, and more. Its goal is to achieve an organic, passionate, and community-driven environment where its contributors are able to contribute to the world. Although ''Altverse II'' is an alternate history timeline, it is also a live, realtime geopolitical roleplaying project, and is intended to fulfill the same vision the original ''Altverse'' was set out to achieve.<br />
<br />
On May 21, 2020, the project began in Alpha Mode as it began work on history-related articles related to the new timeline. During Alpha Mode, contemporary events and roleplaying will remain in stasis as contributors work on developing the timeline between 1914 and the [[Great War]] (c. 1950s). On May 25, 2020, after a year of development in Alpha Mode, the project was moved to Beta Mode, with Centrist16 citing progress towards the timeline beyond [[Great War II]] with the [[Cold War]] and revisitation on the pre-1914 PODs in the Americas.<br />
<br />
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, ''Altverse II'' has a total of {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Altverse II|pages}} canonical articles (that have been accounted for and verified as canon).<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
<br />
The development and progression of ''Altverse II'' has been divided into four separate stages. Each stage of development plans to focus on particular aspects, topics, and issues related to the project that will be addressed and resolved prior to official release.<br />
<br />
===Alpha Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Alpha Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Alpha Mode began on May 20, 2020 and was the first stage of development on ''Altverse II''. After a little more than a year of development, it ended on May 25, 2021. It focused on establishing a generalized outline, overview, and timeline for the project, as well as create articles for all events and subjects identified as central towards the timeline. It began work on conforming existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for migration into ''Altverse II''.<br />
<br />
===Beta Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Beta Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Beta Mode is the current stage of development, and began on May 25, 2021. It will build upon the progress established in Alpha Mode by further refining the timeline details of ''Altverse II'', establishing project rules and conventions, and adding more content to core timeline-sensitive event articles. The adaptation of existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for ''Altverse II'' will continue, while new ''Altverse II'' articles will be created accordingly to reflect the new timeline.<br />
<br />
===Pre-release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Pre-Release Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Pre-release is an upcoming stage of development which will focus on finalizing the most important timeline details of ''Altverse II'' and their related articles. Further rules and conventions will be added or clarified. Every article associated with ''Altverse I'' will be identified for migration and adaptation or rejection. Contemporary events and preparations for roleplaying events or scenarios will be discussed and explored prior to moving forward into the official release.<br />
<br />
===Official release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II (banner).svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Official release is a future point in the project when ''Altverse II'' will be considered fully functional and suitable to operate as a live, realtime roleplaying project in the same manner as the original ''Altverse'' project. At this point, the project is no longer focused on alternate history as the essential details and events of the timeline's past have already been established. New nations and applications may continue to be proposed, which may require changing certain details on the timeline if necessary. More rules and conventions can continue to be further expounded and any articles from ''Altverse I'' which have not been migrated at this point may continue to be done so promptly.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
{{Main|Overview Timeline (Altverse II)}}<br />
<br />
==Differences from ''Altverse I''==<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a revised version of the original ''[[Altverse I|Altverse]]'' timeline. Unlike the original, ''Altverse II'' aims to be a more traditional alternate history timeline (in terms of timeline cohesion and plausibility) while retaining the level of worldbuilding immersion and roleplaying aspects of the original timeline. It is heavily inspired by, but not dictated by, the original lore from ''Altverse''. As such, it includes countries such as the [[Kingdom of Sierra]] and the [[United Commonwealth]]. Unlike the original timeline, there are several points of divergence, most of which are in the mid-19th century in the Americas and the early 20th century in Eurasia. <br />
<br />
Although ''Altverse II'' seeks to avoid resorting to historical determinism, it acknowledges that [[List of ATL and OTL equivalents in Altverse II|analogues]] may be desired, if not necessary. The timeline is also deliberately conceived as a "hard/soft alternate history timeline" by balancing reasonable plausibility with a reasonable degree of creative liberties and freedoms for worldbuilding potential. Unlike ''Altverse'', ''Altverse II'' has more concise rules and standards pertaining to the timeline integrity and canonicality of events.<br />
<br />
==Rules and conventions==<br />
<br />
===Overview===<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a collaborative timeline and real-time geopolitical roleplaying project. It is distinct from the popularized map game format because it is not turn-based or primarily documented through a timeline. Unlike map games, the emphasis of ''Altverse II'' is to create an immersive worldbuilding project set in an alternate timeline of the Earth through high-quality articles covering various subjects, including, but not limited to countries, politicians, governments, political parties, corporations, celebrities, cultures, languages, religions, economies, products, wars, diplomatic events, and more. There are no players in the traditional sense. Each and every contributor is free to contribute however way they believe will enhance and enrich the world of ''Altverse II'' for the benefit of all. Contributors generally maintain authorship over a main country but may write for several countries (or no countries at all), as well as jointly contribute a country with other users. There are no winners or losers as authors are focused on making their countries interesting, rather than making their countries materially wealthier, stronger, or superior. Since the goal of ''Altverse II'' is to stimulate a believable, dynamic geopolitics of the real world, as long as it is reasonable and plausible, a country may experience great success sometimes or a terrible crisis, even to the point of societal collapse and regime change. Furthermore, ''Altverse II'' goes beyond conceptualizing countries just as the sovereign state itself. It encourages and calls for contributors to flesh out detailed articles which may cover any conceivable aspect of the country. In other words, a contributor may decide to write about a particular city, an individual, a party, a company, a law, a television show, song, a popular food dish, an infamous criminal trial, or even an animal if it relates to their country. Generally, a contributor will work on the fundamentals first (i.e. the main country page, the government page, the history page, the parties page, the military page, and the major leaders page), but an exceptional contributor will branch out towards secondary content which will enhance understanding of their country.<br />
<br />
The quality of articles expected in ''Altverse II'' is to imitate the style, conventions, and aesthetics of high-quality Wikipedia article. Articles are to be written as if it were directed towards readers who were living in ''Altverse II'' itself had access the Wikipedia equivalent in that universe.<br />

}}'''''Altverse II''''' (also referred to as '''''Altverse 2''''' or '''''Altverse 2.0''''') is a collaborative alternate history project that is based on the original ''[[Altverse]]'' timeline. The timeline and premise of ''Altverse II'' revolves around the major {{W|point of divergence}} from the original ''Altverse'' timeline where {{W|World War I}} does not occur in 1914 when Serbian nationalist {{W|Gavrilo Princip}} fails to assassinate {{W|Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria}}. <br />
<br />
The project builds on the elements and lore established by ''Altverse'', as well as its principles, conventions, and ideas. It also adds a stronger commitment towards creating a unique and interesting alternate history timeline. It is dedicated to creating high-quality articles which covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to: countries, governments, individuals, corporations, languages, religion, popular culture, geography, and more. Its goal is to achieve an organic, passionate, and community-driven environment where its contributors are able to contribute to the world. Although ''Altverse II'' is an alternate history timeline, it is also a live, realtime geopolitical roleplaying project, and is intended to fulfill the same vision the original ''Altverse'' was set out to achieve.<br />
<br />
On May 21, 2020, the project began in Alpha Mode as it began work on history-related articles related to the new timeline. During Alpha Mode, contemporary events and roleplaying will remain in stasis as contributors work on developing the timeline between 1914 and the [[Great War]] (c. 1950s). On May 25, 2020, after a year of development in Alpha Mode, the project was moved to Beta Mode, with Centrist16 citing progress towards the timeline beyond [[Great War II]] with the [[Cold War]] and revisitation on the pre-1914 PODs in the Americas.<br />
<br />
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, ''Altverse II'' has a total of {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Altverse II|pages}} canonical articles (that have been accounted for and verified as canon).<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
<br />
The development and progression of ''Altverse II'' has been divided into four separate stages. Each stage of development plans to focus on particular aspects, topics, and issues related to the project that will be addressed and resolved prior to official release.<br />
<br />
===Alpha Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Alpha Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Alpha Mode began on May 20, 2020 and was the first stage of development on ''Altverse II''. After a little more than a year of development, it ended on May 25, 2021. It focused on establishing a generalized outline, overview, and timeline for the project, as well as create articles for all events and subjects identified as central towards the timeline. It began work on conforming existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for migration into ''Altverse II''.<br />
<br />
===Beta Mode===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Beta Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Beta Mode is the current stage of development, and began on May 25, 2021. It will build upon the progress established in Alpha Mode by further refining the timeline details of ''Altverse II'', establishing project rules and conventions, and adding more content to core timeline-sensitive event articles. The adaptation of existing ''Altverse I'' articles approved for ''Altverse II'' will continue, while new ''Altverse II'' articles will be created accordingly to reflect the new timeline.<br />
<br />
===Pre-release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II Pre-Release Mode.svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Pre-release is an upcoming stage of development which will focus on finalizing the most important timeline details of ''Altverse II'' and their related articles. Further rules and conventions will be added or clarified. Every article associated with ''Altverse I'' will be identified for migration and adaptation or rejection. Contemporary events and preparations for roleplaying events or scenarios will be discussed and explored prior to moving forward into the official release.<br />
<br />
===Official release===<br />
[[File:Altverse II (banner).svg|thumb|250px]]<br />
Official release is a future point in the project when ''Altverse II'' will be considered fully functional and suitable to operate as a live, realtime roleplaying project in the same manner as the original ''Altverse'' project. At this point, the project is no longer focused on alternate history as the essential details and events of the timeline's past have already been established. New nations and applications may continue to be proposed, which may require changing certain details on the timeline if necessary. More rules and conventions can continue to be further expounded and any articles from ''Altverse I'' which have not been migrated at this point may continue to be done so promptly.<br />
<br />
==Timeline==<br />
{{Main|Overview Timeline (Altverse II)}}<br />
<br />
==Differences from ''Altverse I''==<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a revised version of the original ''[[Altverse I|Altverse]]'' timeline. Unlike the original, ''Altverse II'' aims to be a more traditional alternate history timeline (in terms of timeline cohesion and plausibility) while retaining the level of worldbuilding immersion and roleplaying aspects of the original timeline. It is heavily inspired by, but not dictated by, the original lore from ''Altverse''. As such, it includes countries such as the [[Kingdom of Sierra]] and the [[United Commonwealth]]. Unlike the original timeline, there are several points of divergence, most of which are in the mid-19th century in the Americas and the early 20th century in Eurasia. <br />
<br />
Although ''Altverse II'' seeks to avoid resorting to historical determinism, it acknowledges that [[List of ATL and OTL equivalents in Altverse II|analogues]] may be desired, if not necessary. The timeline is also deliberately conceived as a "hard/soft alternate history timeline" by balancing reasonable plausibility with a reasonable degree of creative liberties and freedoms for worldbuilding potential. Unlike ''Altverse'', ''Altverse II'' has more concise rules and standards pertaining to the timeline integrity and canonicality of events.<br />
<br />
==Rules and conventions==<br />
<br />
===Overview===<br />
<br />
''Altverse II'' is a collaborative timeline and real-time geopolitical roleplaying project. It is distinct from the popularized map game format because it is not turn-based or primarily documented through a timeline. Unlike map games, the emphasis of ''Altverse II'' is to create an immersive worldbuilding project set in an alternate timeline of the Earth through high-quality articles covering various subjects, including, but not limited to countries, politicians, governments, political parties, corporations, celebrities, cultures, languages, religions, economies, products, wars, diplomatic events, and more. There are no players in the traditional sense. Each and every contributor is free to contribute however way they believe will enhance and enrich the world of ''Altverse II'' for the benefit of all. Contributors generally maintain authorship over a main country but may write for several countries (or no countries at all), as well as jointly contribute a country with other users. There are no winners or losers as authors are focused on making their countries interesting, rather than making their countries materially wealthier, stronger, or superior. Since the goal of ''Altverse II'' is to stimulate a believable, dynamic geopolitics of the real world, as long as it is reasonable and plausible, a country may experience great success sometimes or a terrible crisis, even to the point of societal collapse and regime change. Furthermore, ''Altverse II'' goes beyond conceptualizing countries just as the sovereign state itself. It encourages and calls for contributors to flesh out detailed articles which may cover any conceivable aspect of the country. In other words, a contributor may decide to write about a particular city, an individual, a party, a company, a law, a television show, song, a popular food dish, an infamous criminal trial, or even an animal if it relates to their country. Generally, a contributor will work on the fundamentals first (i.e. the main country page, the government page, the history page, the parties page, the military page, and the major leaders page), but an exceptional contributor will branch out towards secondary content which will enhance understanding of their country.<br />
<br />
The quality of articles expected in ''Altverse II'' is to imitate the style, conventions, and aesthetics of high-quality Wikipedia article. Articles are to be written as if it were directed towards readers who were living in ''Altverse II'' itself had access the Wikipedia equivalent in that universe.<br />

[[File:Okonma East 2019.jpeg|thumb|right|Okonma East in 2019.]]<br />
'''Kon''' (born '''Okonma East''', 6 June 1983) is a Sierran rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. He is often regarded as a significant figure in contemporary pop culture.<br />
<br />
East was born in [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], later moving with his mother to St. Anne, [[Orange]] when he was three years old. East began his early production career in the early 2000s, creating beats primarily for up-and-coming local artists in the St. Anne area such as Tee Keyz, Mike Malice, and the late Kaed Breezy. Signing to [[O.P. Entertainment]], East would release his debut album, ''I'm Good...'' (2006)—supported by singles such as "Stronger" and "Can't Tell Me Nothing"— it would sell more than 700,000 units in the first week, debuting atop the ''Sunset'' 100 albums chart and has since been named by numerous publications as one of the greatest albums of all time, including ''Rolling Rock'' and ''Sierra Media''. Shortly following the album's release, however, his mother Iris would pass due to complications from cosmetic surgery in January 2007, along with his publicized split with fiancé Giselle Martin months later, East would make a major artistic departure from pop rap and hip hop to alternative rap and experimental R&B with his second album ''808 Nights'' (2009), which employed the usage of an Auto-Tune processor and electronic production composed with the {{W|Roland TR-808|Nexo BR-808}} drum machine. Selling more than 300,000 units and debuting atop the ''Sunset'' charts, it would go on to impact hip hop stylistically and laid the groundwork for a new wave of hip hop artists who generally eschewed braggadocio for intimate subject matter and introspection, including [[Q-Lo]], [[PNGMAFIA]], [[Astro Kid]], [[Jaynine]], and [[Kickback|Adan]].<br />
<br />
His next four albums—''Good Ass Job'' (2011), ''Thank God For Drugs '' (2012), ''[[Rich Black Sierran]]'' (2014), ''Hell Of A Time'' (2015)—would be commercial and critical successes. <br />
<br />
In November 2023, he was widely condemned and lost many sponsors and partnerships—including his collaborations with [[Adiflex]], [[TYBY]], and [[Danny Chang Corporation|Danny Chang]]—after making a series of anti-Semitic statements, as well as [[Conspiracy theories in the United Commonwealth|spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the United Commonwealth]] and the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<br />

Simons first gained attraction following the release of his collaborative mixtape with [[Lil Coast]], ''Savages'' in 2015, with major publications such as ''Sierra Media'' labeling the rappers as the "biggest underground act". Having signed previously with L.B.C. that year, he would go on to sign a four-album contract with [[Republic Records]] in July 2015. Simons would release his commercial mixtape, ''[[Waiting To Die]]'', on 18 September 2015. The mixtape debuted at number 28 on the KS ''Sunset'' 100 and would later be certified Gold while the singles from the tape, "{{W|223's|723's}}" and "{{W|Murder On My Mind}}", would be certified Gold and 2× Platinum respectively. <br />
<br />
After serving a short time incarcerated due to gun possession, Simons would release his debut album, ''[[Through The Storm]]'', on 12 August 2016. The album would debut at number 2 on the ''Sunset'' 100, with 3 of the 5 singles being Gold-certified or higher, including the Okonma East-assisted single, "{{W|Mixed Personalities (song)|Mixed Personalities}}", which would be certified 2× Platinum in Sierra and peak at number 4 on the singles chart. During this time, Simons would be involved with a rap feud involving Splash Godd, where he would release the diss track "{{W|Dead Trollz}}". Concurrent to the beef, on 3 January 2017, Simons would be arrested by federal agents prior to performing at a show for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges. While awaiting trial under federal imprisonment from 2017 to 2021, Simons would release his third mixtape ''[[Almost Time]]'' (2017), which debuted atop the charts and was certified Gold, and his second studio album ''[[Live At The Gates Of Hell]]'' on 23 March 2018, which was the rapper's second number-one commercial release, selling 108,000 album-equivalent copies and being certified Platinum while behind bars. <br />
<br />
On 26 June 2020, Simons' team would release EP ''[[Collect Call (Yung Nevabroke EP)|Collect Call]]''. On 21 November 2021, Simons would be found not guilty on all charges of racketeering, being released from prison. Simons released his third studio album, ''[[Calling My Spirit]]'', on 22 July 2022, selling 165,000 album-equivalent copies first week, being the rapper's third number-one album on the charts, and the rapper's highest-selling release. It would be his last record with Republic Records, with his fourth studio album, ''[[Until I Die]]'', being released on 21 April 2023 under L.B.C. and [[Sontune|Sontune Music Group]]. His fifth album, ''[[Back To Earth]]'', was released on 5 January 2024, debuting at number three to become the rapper's fifth KS top-10 album, while his sixth album, ''[[Last Will & Testament]]'', would be released over three installments following a delay from it's original 15 November release date, and concluding his contract with SMG. <br />
<br />
On 31 October 2024, an arrest warrant would be issued for Simons for {{W|Sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}} in [[Laguna]] stemming from an incident in May 2023 while the rapper was on the ''Back in Season'' tour. He would be apprehended at [[Porciúncula International Airport]] on 4 November attempting to board a private jet to the [[Equatorial States]] and if convicted, faces up to 30 years in prison. Since being imprisoned, Republic Records would release the compilation ''Never Broke'' (2025), containing songs from the rapper's first three albums and numerous commercial mixtapes, which had been recorded while he was under contract. Due to having no creative input into the album, the rapper would release the free mixtape, ''Slime Tunes'' (2025), in response under his own label, YNB Records. <br />

'''''Back To Earth''''' is the fifth studio album by Sierran rapper and singer [[Yung Nevabroke]]. It was released on 5 January 2024 by [[Sontune|Sontune Music Group]] and L.B.C. with {{W|Surprise album|no prior announcement}}. It follows the rapper's tenth mixtape, ''Waiting To Die 2'' (2023), released less than six months prior, and nine months following the release of his fourth studio album, ''[[Until I Die]]'' (2023). It features production from Nevabroke's in-house engineer, Gerald "Gun Gary" Damons, among other long-time collaborators such as Riley Morgan, Foozie Mane, Nardo, Dalite, Oozey, Dave Did That, M1RZA, Smok4X K1TA, A3G, DaaDah Bless, Streetside, From Sierra With Love, LDX Rage, and Cozin. The album features guest performances from the late [[Q-Lo]], Lil Tec, and [[XX3]]. It is Nevabroke's second studio album and fifth overall release with Sontune since signing with the label in November 2022. <br />
<br />
==Background and release==<br />
One day prior to release, on 4 January 2024, the music videos for "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iZHsmBOePE Rock Saga]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5yUREDeIuI Save My Soul]</span>" would be released on Nevabroke's VidStream channel, with each garnering 2.1 million and 1.9 million views within the same 24 hours respectively. A pre-order link to the album would be provided with each video, while on Telecam, the cover art and track listing would be revealed. An album release party would be held at The Lion's Den recording studio in [[Providencia, Gold Coast]] the day of the album's release, with Nevabroke performing the album in it's entirety with a live band, with an opening performance from Stunnah Tee. <br />
<br />
Rap-rock singer Riley Morgan would reveal with a repost of the album's cover that he had provided the guitar loop for "Big Slimey". It would be revealed in a response to a fan on Bubbler by Nevabroke that the [[Q-Lo]] vocals had been recorded in 2017. The original song, "Too Many", featured a guest verse from KitKat and had circulated online as a leak as early as 2020, in addition to featuring different production from [[Stephacide]].<br />

''Back To Earth'' received generally positive reviews on release. [[Porciúncula Times]]'s Sam Geoffrey stated that the project is "another reflective, soul-searching set filled with cathartic lyrics about loneliness, family issues, and the struggle of being a public figure with an obsessive fan base". He stated that "it's shorter tan recent exhaustive releases, and holds a bit of stylistic range with more atmospheric, vulnerable tracks instead of the more aggressive, hardcore ones". Writing for Zeke Media, Lewis McDonald stated that this is Nevabroke's first full-length release of the year "but his fifth in two", with him "refusing to be hemmed in, he's gone again and again to the studio, exploring fatherhood, maturity, the poverty of his roots, and the limits of his aspirations". He wrote that the project "encompasses many of Nevabroke’s faults, and his gifts" and notes that his "pen game remains illuminating". Concluding his review, he stated that "the record’s second half is equally hit and miss" and that the project isn't "bad", however, "Nevabroke has so often walked this road before". McDonald advised Nevabroke "to pause and re-assess, bring his ideas together, but before deciding his next step". The Huntington Beach Post's Steve Brauman noted that ''Back To Earth'' is "floating on the highs of Nevabroke's infectious delivery while occasionally being bogged down by tedious raps and empty storytelling." He stated that the project is "at-times [a] very strong project, and a nice way to show the ways the MC has grown" since its predecessor.<br />
<br />
In his review for ''La Brea Times'', Mark Stanley delved into the album, expressing that it "reflects on the emotional aftermath of a year marked by significant accomplishments and profound setbacks." He highlighted the exploration of themes related to gang culture and street violence, emphasizing that Nevabroke, now a more adept vocalist and CEO of L.B.C., utilizes the album to illustrate the persistent and deeply ingrained nature of these issues. Stanley also commended Nevabroke's skill in rap-singing, noting its effectiveness over the polished production that dominates most of the album. Stanley concluded by asserting that, although it might be premature for definitive judgments, ''Back To Earth'' stands out as a commendable effort from Nevabroke, positioning itself as a contender for his most cohesive solo work thus far.<br />
==Commercial response==<br />
''Back To Earth'' debuted at number three on the KS Sunset 100 with 63,000 album-equivalent units, with 1,000 units in pure sales. It is Nevabroke's 5th KS top-10 album and 7th project overall.<br />

'''''Last Will & Testament''''' is the sixth studio album by [[Southwest Corridor|Corridor]] rapper [[Yung Nevabroke]]. Initially to be released on 15 November, 2024, it would be delayed and subsequently was commercially released in three installments by [[Sontune|SMG]] and L.B.C. on 22 November, 29 November, and 6 December, 2024, while the rapper is currently incarcerated awaiting trial for {{w|sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}}. It features extensive collaborations with the rapper's own L.B.C. label roster, including Rondo Gotti, Yung Bump, YNB Jamm, amongst others, and serves as Nevabroke's final album with Sontune Music Group. <br />
<br />
==Background and singles==<br />
A {{W|Double album#Triple album|triple album}}, the album's title would be initially announced after the release of "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7U5D_qTeD0 Act A Clown]</span>", a diss track against Joe Jordan and DJ Khaleel, on 23 February, 2024. <br />
<br />
The singles "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb0BaOrIBE Closed Case]</span>", "Hold Up" featuring Lil 80Kay and YNB Heemy, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVOGEcmyaHI 2024 Freestyle]</span>", "Never Ran" featuring YNB Cortlen, "Gang Baby" featuring Yung Bump, YNB Heemy and YNB Yungin, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iis_5y50Z8o No Time]</span>", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3H8LTIff7k Having My Way]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxMceFfFcg Slow Down]</span>" would be released throughout Spring 2024.

<br />

'''''Last Will & Testament''''' is the sixth studio album by [[Southwest Corridor|Corridor]] rapper [[Yung Nevabroke]]. Initially to be released on 15 November, 2024, it would be delayed and subsequently was commercially released in three installments by [[Sontune|SMG]] and L.B.C. on 22 November, 29 November, and 6 December, 2024, while the rapper is currently incarcerated awaiting trial for {{w|sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}}. It features extensive collaborations with the rapper's own L.B.C. label roster, including Rondo Gotti, Yung Bump, YNB Jamm, amongst others, and serves as Nevabroke's final album with Sontune Music Group. <br />
<br />
==Background and singles==<br />
A {{W|Double album#Triple album|triple album}}, the album's title would be initially announced after the release of "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7U5D_qTeD0 Act A Clown]</span>", a diss track against Joe Jordan and DJ Khaleel, on 23 February, 2024. <br />
<br />
The singles "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb0BaOrIBE Closed Case]</span>", "Hold Up" featuring Lil 80Kay and YNB Heemy, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVOGEcmyaHI 2024 Freestyle]</span>", "Never Ran" featuring YNB Cortlen, "Gang Baby" featuring Yung Bump, YNB Heemy and YNB Yungin, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iis_5y50Z8o No Time]</span>", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3H8LTIff7k Having My Way]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxMceFfFcg Slow Down]</span>" would be released throughout Spring 2024. Three promotional singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4myyqNi94Q My Pistol Out]</span>", "Unannounced" featuring Wheelinfourz and Yung Bump, "In The Box" featuring Rondo Gotti and YNB Jamm would issued but were not included on the album's later release.<br />
<br />
Two days after his arrest, on 6 November 2024, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Who They Want?]</span>" would be issued, being the last music video shot by the rapper before his arrest and would notably feature clips of him being arrested at his residency in [[Providencia, Gold Coast]]. This would prelude ''Volume 1'', which would be released on 22 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
"<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4g-KsDmRH4 Mind Destroys Matter]</span>", a remix of Mafia Mitch's 2012 single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Tears of Joy]</span>" and reportedly recorded by Nevabroke after learning about his arrest warrant on 31 October, would be released on [[Sierra Day]] 2024. ''Volume 2'' would be released two days later on 29 November, 2024.<br />

'''''Last Will & Testament''''' is the sixth studio album by [[Southwest Corridor|Corridor]] rapper [[Yung Nevabroke]]. Initially to be released on 15 November, 2024, it would be delayed and subsequently was commercially released in three installments by [[Sontune|SMG]] and L.B.C. on 22 November, 29 November, and 6 December, 2024, while the rapper is currently incarcerated awaiting trial for {{w|sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}}. It features extensive collaborations with the rapper's own L.B.C. label roster, including Rondo Gotti, Yung Bump, YNB Jamm, amongst others, and serves as Nevabroke's final album with Sontune Music Group. <br />
<br />
==Background and singles==<br />
A {{W|Double album#Triple album|triple album}}, the album's title would be initially announced after the release of "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7U5D_qTeD0 Act A Clown]</span>", a diss track against Joe Jordan and DJ Khaleel, on 23 February, 2024. <br />
<br />
The singles "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb0BaOrIBE Closed Case]</span>", "Hold Up" featuring Lil 80Kay and YNB Heemy, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVOGEcmyaHI 2024 Freestyle]</span>", "Never Ran" featuring YNB Cortlen, "Gang Baby" featuring Yung Bump, YNB Heemy and YNB Yungin, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iis_5y50Z8o No Time]</span>", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3H8LTIff7k Having My Way]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxMceFfFcg Slow Down]</span>" would be released throughout Spring 2024. Three promotional singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4myyqNi94Q My Pistol Out]</span>", "Unannounced" featuring Wheelinfourz and Yung Bump, "In The Box" featuring Rondo Gotti and YNB Jamm would issued but were not included on the album's later release.<br />
<br />
Two days after his arrest, on 6 November 2024, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Who They Want?]</span>" would be issued, being the last music video shot by the rapper before his arrest and would notably feature clips of him being arrested at his residency in [[Providencia, Gold Coast]]. This would prelude ''Volume 1'', which would be released on 22 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
"<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4g-KsDmRH4 Mind Destroys Matter]</span>", a remix of Mafia Mitch's 2012 single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Tears of Joy]</span>" and reportedly recorded by Nevabroke after learning about his arrest warrant on 31 October, would be released on [[Sierra Day]] 2024. ''Volume 2'' would be released two days later on 29 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
A music video for "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTYeMZGzOzw Missing Everything (I Need You)]</span>" would be released on 4 December, 2024, being shot sometime in August 2024 and preludes the release of ''Volume 3'' on 6 December, 2024. His management would later state the rapper had been facing death threats prior to his arrest and recorded the video in case he were to 'unexpectedly die from jealous haters'.<br />

'''''Last Will & Testament''''' is the sixth studio album by [[Southwest Corridor|Corridor]] rapper [[Yung Nevabroke]]. Initially to be released on 15 November, 2024, it would be delayed and subsequently was commercially released in three installments by [[Sontune|SMG]] and L.B.C. on 22 November, 29 November, and 6 December, 2024, while the rapper is currently incarcerated awaiting trial for {{w|sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}}. It features extensive collaborations with the rapper's own L.B.C. label roster, including Rondo Gotti, Yung Bump, YNB Jamm, amongst others, and serves as Nevabroke's final album with Sontune Music Group. <br />
<br />
==Background and singles==<br />
A {{W|Double album#Triple album|triple album}}, the album's title would be initially announced after the release of "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7U5D_qTeD0 Act A Clown]</span>", a diss track against Joe Jordan and DJ Khaleel, on 23 February, 2024. <br />
<br />
The singles "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb0BaOrIBE Closed Case]</span>", "Hold Up" featuring Lil 80Kay and YNB Heemy, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVOGEcmyaHI 2024 Freestyle]</span>", "Never Ran" featuring YNB Cortlen, "Gang Baby" featuring Yung Bump, YNB Heemy and YNB Yungin, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iis_5y50Z8o No Time]</span>", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3H8LTIff7k Having My Way]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxMceFfFcg Slow Down]</span>" would be released throughout Spring 2024. Three promotional singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4myyqNi94Q My Pistol Out]</span>", "Unannounced" featuring Wheelinfourz and Yung Bump, "In The Box" featuring Rondo Gotti and YNB Jamm would issued but were not included on the album's later release.<br />
<br />
Two days after his arrest, on 6 November 2024, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Who They Want?]</span>" would be issued, being the last music video shot by the rapper before his arrest and would notably feature clips of him being arrested at his residency in [[Providencia, Gold Coast]]. This would prelude ''Volume 1'', which would be released on 22 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
"<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4g-KsDmRH4 Mind Destroys Matter]</span>", a remix of Mafia Mitch's 2012 single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Tears of Joy]</span>" and reportedly recorded by Nevabroke after learning about his arrest warrant on 31 October, would be released on [[Sierra Day]] 2024. ''Volume 2'' would be released two days later on 29 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
A music video for "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTYeMZGzOzw Missing Everything (I Need You)]</span>" would be released on 4 December, 2024, being shot sometime in August 2024 and preludes the release of ''Volume 3'' on 6 December, 2024. His management would later state the rapper had been facing death threats prior to his arrest and recorded the video in case he were to 'unexpectedly die from jealous haters'.<br />

'''''Both Sides''''' is the debut studio album by Sierran rapper [[Jaynine]]. It was released on 25 January, 2013 by [[O.P. Entertainment]] and Racks & Medallion Records, being his first release under the former and sixth under the latter. Executively produced by Louis "Loui" Campbell and Quintin "iTrak" Pacheco, it would feature guest appearances from Paul Quest, B Dot Bizzy, Simba, Tony Talk, Fren-Z, Fear of [[The Day$crapers]], [[Roc Steady]] and [[Emma Chae]], while guest production would be provided by C Bandz, Berlin on da track, amongst others. <br />
<br />
Writing for the album dates back prior to the rapper's final commercial mixtape, ''The Come Up'', while recording would begin in [[France]] during late 2011 following the mixtape's commercial release. The album centers around his life story beginning in his native [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], while themes of {{W|Multiracial people|multiracialism}} and [[Styxie rap|reality rap]] would garner the record substantial popularity. Preceded by three singles and followed by two, upon release, it topped the ''Sunset'' Hot 100, selling more than 496,000 album units.<br />
<br />

'''Isaiah Joshua Garner''' (2 June 1971 – 9 June 1998), professionally known as '''Genesys''', was a [[Sierrans|Sierran]] rapper and producer. Garner is often recognized as having pioneered gangster rap and is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Much of Garner's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues in [[Styxie]], with much of his lyrics being semi-autobiographical and vividly depicting the violence of street life during and after the [[The Disturbances]].<br />
<br />
Born and raised in the Redwood Projects of [[San Jose, Santa Clara|San Jose]], [[Santa Clara]], Garner would join the rap group Armed 'N Dangerous (shortened to A.N.D.) at the age of 16. With the group, Garner would perform on the group's three releases, ''WWCD'' (1988), ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989), and ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991). Following his departure from the group in 1992 and an ongoing feud between himself and remaining members, namely Godsun, Garner would release his debut album, ''Progressive Youth'' (1993), to widespread critical acclaim and has later been regarded as one of the defining hip hop albums of the 1990s. The album's release, however, only further escalated the feud that led to public brawls and shootings. After the release of Garner's second solo album, ''Bastard'' (1995), he would become recognized as a mainstream figure in media and the hardcore rap subgenre. Finding individual success, he would form his own rap group [[The Throne]] with various local rappers from [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], and later performing on their debut release, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), to further acclaim. <br />
<br />
At the same time, Genesys had become embroiled in a war with East coast rappers King Rakeem, the Disciplez, among others in the [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. Following Rakeem's death in a drive-by shooting in December 1997, speculations of involvement by Garner's involvement circulated around the world, leading to various attempts being made on his life in the following months. ''[[The World Is Yours|The World Is Yours]]'', a double album, was released on 27 March, 1998. On 9 June, Garner would be killed in an armed robbery at his London hotel in the [[United Kingdom]] while on tour, with the four assailants remaining unidentified to this day. <br />
<br />
Posthumously, Garner's fourth studio album ''[[God Don't Make Mistakes]]'' (1999), would reach number one on the [[Sunset 100|''Sunset'' 100]]. His fifth album, ''[[Faith]]'', was released in September 2001 and peaked at number 3 on the ''Sunset'' 100. His sixth studio release and fourth posthumous, ''400 Years'', would be released in 2003 to coincide with a [[Genesys (Film)|Sierran biographical drama film named after the rapper]], while a series of anniversary releases from 2008 to 2020 would prelude the ''[[The World Is Yours#2024 Anniversary|One World, One Life]]'' album, released on 27 December, 2024. <br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Isaiah Joshua Garner was born on 2 June 1971 in San Jose, Santa Clara, to Jamaican parents. Garner's father, Darius Waters, was incarcerated only days following Garner's birth due to ties with the Sierran Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, and would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism, murder, robbery, and the distribution of illicit drugs such as cocaine and marijuana. As a result, Garner would spend his early years being raised by his mother, Caroll Garner, whom would later be arrested for attempted acts of domestic terrorism. Caroll Garner would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism and attempted murder, though would later be paroled and placed on house arrest as part of the 1986 No Mother Left Behind Act. Following his mother's arrest, Garner would be raised by his grandmother, Aniyah Garner, in the Redwood projects. <br />
<br />
Isaiah Garner attended West Redwood High School until he dropped out in the ninth grade. He described himself as a "misfit" during that time, citing how quiet he was and regularly being involved in physical confrontations. At the age of 14, Garner would be kicked out of his grandmother's residence, moving constantly and supporting himself mainly by selling drugs. Garner would later state in an interview with ''Sierra Media'' that he was introduced to crime at a young age, and was a member of the East Redwood Crip gang. Garner's music manager Dwayne Ricardo recalls seeing Garner selling marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines prior to rapping, and during his initial musical career, was labeled as a "thug". Ricardo explains: "The hood where he grew up was a dangerous place. He was a small guy. 'Thug' was a role that was widely understood on the street; it gave you a certain level of protection in the sense that people hesitated to fuck with you. Likewise, 'dope dealer' was a role that accorded you certain privileges and respect."<br />
<br />
==Musical career==<br />
===1987–1991: Early career and A.N.D.===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1988.jpg|thumb|right|Garner in the music video for "It Feels Good" from A.N.D's debut album, ''WWCD'', released in 1988.]]<br />
In June 1987, at age 17, Garner had went by the stage name Nasty G and formed his first group with Cubano and MC Murdah known as the Microphone Murderers. By July, the group had expanded to include other childhood friends of Garner, namely Godsun and Esoteric. The group's first release, a self-titled demo tape hosted by DJ Blazin', would lead to local popularity and the group re-branding as Armed N' Dangerous (A.N.D.). By October, through their manager Keon Tyler, the group would secure a recording contract with The Prestige, a San Jose-native record label that had previously hosted numerous minor hip hop acts in Styxie. Following Cubano's death a day later in a drive-by shooting, the group would dedicate their debut album to their fallen friend, titling their debut release ''WWCD'' ("What Would Cubano Do?") in memorial. ''WWCD'' would be released in April 1988, and with the instant hit single such as "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IJCFc_qkHw It Feels Good (To Be A Gangsta)]</span>", the group and it's individual members would be elevated to regional popularity. <br />
<br />
Not feeling constricted to racially charged political issues pioneered by rap artists such as Shock Brigade or Jump Dance Productions, A.N.D. favored themes exploring grim descriptions of violence and inner-city turmoil while composed of uncompromising lyrics. Propelled by the hit "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADdpLv3RDhA Fuck tha Police]</span>", the group's first full album ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989) became a major success, despite an almost complete absence of radio airplay or major concert tours. The Office of Bureaucratic and Internal Affairs sent The Prestige a warning letter in response to the song's content, in addition to policemen refusing to provide security for the group's concerts, diminished plans for lengthy tours. Nonetheless, the OBIA's letter only served to draw more publicity to the group, with their third album, ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991), continuing to push their success to new heights.<br />
<br />
===1992–1993: ''Progressive Youth'' and incarceration===<br />
Following the release of ''Redwood Shooters'' and its supporting tour, on 2 February 1992, Garner would leave A.N.D. citing financial disputes. Despite being held in limbo for a month, he would remain signed to The Prestige. Beginning in March, Garner started recording his debut album at Dungeon studios in [[Porciúncula]], [[Gold Coast]], with production duo Chop & Chord. The first tracks recorded in these sessions include the album's less radio-friendly content (including "Stomp Em Out", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rXHhnnmEDs 25 To Life]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTKpYJ80OVQ Shook Ones]</span>" featuring Stunnah Tee), which ''La Brea Times'' described as an "higher-pitched" Garner sounding "hungry and bitter". At the same time, Garner would record guest appearances for Doc Dre's landmark record, ''The Chronic'' (1992), being featured on the single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-Pl9tJjaE Bitches Ain't Shit]</span>" alongside Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as "High Power" and "Deeez Nuuuts". After a brief incarceration for possession of an illegal firearm, stalling the album's production, Garner returned to the studio in November with "smoother, more confident vocals" and completed the album. In this stage, the more commercial-sounding tracks of the album were recorded with DJ Tone Love, including the album's second single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khhOoSxnyVA From The Bacc]</span>" featuring Lord Subliminal, which debuted at number 23 on the ''Sunset'' Rap chart. <br />
[[File:Genesys 1993.jpg|thumb|Genesys performing in 1993.]]<br />
<br />
In 1993, Garner's debut studio album, ''Progressive Youth'', was released. It featured production from Garner himself, Chop & Chord, Pedro Wreck, DJ Tone Love and Kilo Klick, as well as guest appearances from Lord Subliminal, Stunnah Tee, and rap group Oakalona Boyz. The album debuted at 20 on the ''Sunset'' album chart, being certified gold within five months of release. In 2020, ''Progressive Youth'' was hailed by ''Rolling Rock'' as one of the 200 Greatest Debut Rap Albums of All Time.<br />
<br />
Despite claiming not having made any references to his former group, the release of "Shook Ones" was perceived by A.N.D. as subliminally dissing them, with members Godsun and MC Murder dissing Garner in response on numerous tracks from the group's fourth album released a month later, ''Appetite for Destruction'', escalating the feud. Between A.N.D. and Garner, the feud would reach a breaking point when on 11 February 1993, during a venue show headlined by A.N.D.-affiliate Jay Flavor in Porciúncula, Garner was reportedly in the across the street doing a local radio interview. After being notified of Garner's location prior to the show, Flavor and his entourage would reportedly ask the venue owners for a "20 minute delay" due to the Flavor "feeling a bit ill". Flavor and his entourage would then walk across the street, entering the station. Anthony Malken, a member of Flavor's entourage, would allegedly flash a gun to the receptionist, leading them to bring the crew to the recording room. According to rapper Stunnah Tee, who was present at the interview, upon entering Flavor would say, 'What's up?', leading to an immediate brawl before would security rush in. Stunnah Tee would recall, "They grabbed [Garner] and said, 'This isn't the place.', and then we ran out the back before the police arrived."<br />
<br />
On 6 March 1993, Garner would be targeted in a drive-by shooting in Porciúncula as he was leaving a Chess Pizza restaurant with security. The shooting would lead to Garner being shot twice, as well as two members of his entourage being injured. Despite making a full recovery months later, Garner would be imprisoned due to his possession of a unregistered firearm at the time of the shooting, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. During his incarceration, Garner would be featured on "Takeover (Free Him out tha Pen)" by Lord Subliminal for his self-titled LP, with him rapping an extra verse expressing his hope for the artist's security and freedom.<br />
<br />
===1994–1995: ''Bastard'', The Throne, and feuds===<br />
{{Main|Bastard (Genesys album)|l1=Bastard}}<br />
Shortly after his release from prison, Garner's recording contract with The Prestige would be terminated, with the rapper later expressing that the label wanted more commercial music "akin to Doc Dre's ''The Chronic''" instead of his own creative vision. Being able to retain his masters from his previous album, Garner would establish his own record label, Nuwrld, under the distribution network of {{W|Interscope}}. Double Deuce CEO Metro Dimes would later state that he had made the connection for the rapper at the time, due to Double Deuce being under their own contract with Interscope. In response to being dropped, Garner would release the single "{{W|I Gave You Power}}", which metaphorically depicted the rapper as a gun while simultaneously dissing The Prestige and their CEO, James Canden. Garner would later join the Doc Dre and Double Deuce's ''Viewer Discretion Advised'' 1994 tour from August to October as a co-headlining act; at the same time, Garner began writing material for his second studio album, which was given a slated release for Summer 1995. <br />
<br />
In November 1994, recording would begin for Garner's second album, then known as ''Growing Pains''. Garner originally wanted to record a semi-biographical trilogy of records, with the first entry reportedly being his debut album ''Progressive Youth'', however, he would ultimately find himself unsatisfied with the work produced, leading it to being scrapped. Later that month, Garner would record music over a four-day period at Dungeon recording studio in Porciúncula with producers Doc Dre and Big Dolla. While they had supposedly recorded over three hours of material, only one song from these sessions would make the final cut, being "{{W|Halftime (song)|Halftime}}". Garner would also record verses for Immortal Key's album ''Every Dogg has his Day'', released the following year. He would be featured on the third single, "Murder 4 Hire", as well as the track "Shot Clock Shooters". <br />
[[File:The Throne without Genesys collage.png|thumb|400px|The Throne (minus Genesys, left to right): Zaa, Killer Woo, H.E.S., [[Roc Steady]], C-Side, MAC-12.]]<br />
After performing at the 1994 Bernheim New Year's Eve Concert, Garner would start recording in Bernheim in January 1995 after being inspired by the neighborhoods him and his entourage would drive by, reminding him of San Jose. Initially scheduled for two-weeks, Garner would travel to The Cave music venue to witness the nightly activity of rap battles that had become popularized a year prior. After being impressed by the numerous acts present, Garner would form the rap group The Throne with rappers Zaa, Killer Woo, [[Roc Steady]], and MAC-12, along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, signing them to Genesys' newly-formed record label under Interscope, nuwrld. With The Throne, Genesys would spend an additional two months recording in Bernheim, working on his solo album and what would later become The Throne's debut album, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), at the same time.<br />
<br />
Originally named ''Street Dreams'', ''[[Bastard (Genesys album)|Bastard]]'' arrived on 23 June 1995. The album was remarkedly short compared to his previous release, being only ten tracks. It was preceded by three singles, "{{W|N.Y. State of Mind|L.A. State of Mind}}", "{{W|Life's a Bitch (song)|Life's a Bitch}}", and "{{W|Survival of the Fittest (song)|Survival of the Fittest}}"; a fourth single, "{{W|Triumph (song)|Triumph}}", would be released following the album's success. In contrast to the political messages Garner had rapped about previously, the album shows Garner being engulfed into the gangsta lifestyle. With simple yet stark production, the album featured more gritty and dark ballads detailing the street life: its hardships and its successes. Music journalist Daniel Godenan noted that Garner, once released from prison, became more aggressive, and "seemed like a completely transformed artist". The album debuted at No. 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100 and sold 322,000 units in its first week, setting a then-record for highest first-week sales for a solo male rapper, later being certified 4× Platinum and regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Upon its release, the album would attract controversy due to featuring disses aimed at King Rakeem, the Disciplez, A.N.D, and B Monie, escalating the bubbling [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. <br />
<br />
The Throne's debut album, ''T.H.U.G. (Truly Humbled Under God)'', would be released on 10 November 1995, through Nuwrld and Interscope, debuting at number nine on the ''Sunset'' 100 and placing second om the Top Rap Albums, shipping 125,000 units. It went on to sell 1.2 million copies in North America receiving Platinum certification status by the RIAA in 1997. The singles, "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" and {{W|Hail Mary (2Pac song)|Hail Mary}}", were both certified gold the following year. Following the release of the ''T.H.U.G.'', Garner and the Throne would embark on the Thugged Out Tour beginning in December 1995 and ending in April 1996. <br />
===1996–1998: ''The World is Yours'' and final recordings===<br />
In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana to Nuwrld. That same year, the label would host the release of Roc Steady's debut release, ''Meet The Roc'', which Garner executively produced and guest featured on the lead single, "Drop a Gem on 'Em", a response and diss track to the Disciplez 1996 single, "L.A. L.A."; he would also be featured on the track "W.C.K. (West Coast Killaz)". In May, Garner would release two non-album singles, "Every Day Gun Play", which debuted at number 8 on the Rap chart, and "{{W|Front Lines (Hell on Earth)|Hell on Earth}}" featuring Roc Steady, which debuted at number 6. On 9 August, associates of the Disciplez would attend one of The Throne's concerts in Porciúncula, leading to a brawl where two people were killed and twenty were injured. After the end of the tour circuit, in late 1996, Garner would confirm in an interview with ''[[RBS News]]'' that he had begun work on his album, revealing the working title to be ''Executive Decisions'' and stated he had been in collaboration with long-time collaborator Doc Dre. <br />
[[File:Standard the world is yours cover.jpg|thumb|Album cover for Genesys' third studio album, ''The World Is Yours'', released in 1998.]]<br />
In 1997, Garner would be featured on lead single "Mob Ties" by Roc Steady, Zaa, and H.E.S. as part of their collaborative album, ''47th and Kings''. He would also be featured on the remix of "Affirmative Action" by Trick Gabbana from the deluxe edition of her debut album, ''Trick Trick'', alongside Mac-12; and "{{W|Love Is All We Need}}" by Brook Lynn from her album ''See My World''. Garner would make later guest appearances on Zaa's debut album ''Murda Muzik'', released through Nuwrld, on the tracks "Album Intro" and "La Familia" alongside Trick Gabbana and Mac-12; and "{{W|Fast Life (Kool G Rap song)|Fast Life}}" by Ysuah from his album ''Incarcerated Scarfaces''. Garner would make his individual return to the charts with the release of two singles: "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8dyp89uWxA The World Is Yours (Imagine That)]</span>" featuring R&B singer Marilyn Jil;, and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5wZGRe8D7o Get Ya Self A Gun]</span>". Both would debut within the top 10 of the Rap singles chart, with billboards across [[Porciúncula]] featuring the title for the album, ''The World Is Yours'', as well as revealing the cover and the release date during this time. He would release one more single before the end of the year, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu0Br3qvgEw All Biz]</span>" featuring rappers Zaa, Trick Gabbana and singer Anita Johnson, in November.<br />
<br />
After the release of Hovah's ''The Blueprint'' (1997) and diss track "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHiFMW8s6zk Conquer and Control]</span>" gaining substantial traction due to the rapper claiming to be the "King of the West", Garner would respond on 2 January 1998 with the release of the album's fourth and fifth singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVNRjPpo68I L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. II]</span>" and the diss-track "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfyQ8muKLdc Ether]</span>". On the day "Ether" was released, Hovah and his entourage visited a Bernheim club where the DJ started to play the intro to the song. Both men told the DJ not to do so, allegedly threatening his life, but he refused the request and played it anyway. Fellow rapper Ysuah, also present in the club that night, cited this – along with the rapturous response of the club attendees once the song was eventually played – as a major turning point in the feud and a sign that Garner would emerge victorious: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text="...the club was going up, and that’s when I knew it was over. The DJ was like, 'Fuck that,' and played that shit. And the club went up. That’s when I knew Genesys won. The streets had spoken. The DJ played it and Hov' was in the building […] Genesys beat Hov'."<br />
}}<br />
After a month delay due to mixing, ''[[The World Is Yours]]'' would be released as a double-album on 27 March 1998. With 20 tracks on the standard edition, it would be the longest album released by Garner, and would top the ''Sunset'' 100 album chart, selling 471,000 copies in its opening week and being certified gold only two weeks after release. The album was recorded in various studios throughout the Kingdom of Sierra, featuring several high-profile producers and guest appearances from members of the Throne (both individually and as a group), Trick Gabbana, KMP, Marilyn Jill, among others. Upon release, ''The World Is Yours'' received instant critical acclaim, and it has been ranked by critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time, being consistently ranked in the top 200 on Rolling Rock's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2016 with shipments of over 6 million copies, with each disc in the double album counted as a separate unit for certification. <br />
<br />
In April 1998, Garner would release the music video for the album's sixth single, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFbwtTeOvR8 Come Get Me]</span>". That same month, he would embark on a tour for the album with Zaa, Roc Steady, H.E.S. and Trick Gabbana, beginning with a European leg throughout early summer before returning to North America for the remainder of the year.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
[[File:Genesys killers.jpg|thumb|Still image captured of the moment the robbers entered through the back-entrance of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}}, London, [[United Kingdom]].]]<br />
On 9 June 1998, Garner was renting a room out of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}} in London, [[United Kingdom]], while on a 24-show European tour in support of his double-album, ''The World Is Yours''. After performing at {{W|London Arena|Docklands Arena}} from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Garner would attend a concert after-party before returning to the hotel around 11:15 p.m. At around 2:50 a.m., four hooded men would enter the hotel through an unlocked back-entrance door. Despite initial footage showing them unarmed and unmasked upon entering the elevator, all would be wearing ski masks while two wielded handguns upon their exit on the tenth floor. They would then break into the room by breaking off the lock with a hammer. <br />
<br />
Once they accessed his room, they reportedly held a gun to his head, tying his hands with duct tape and using it as a gag. While tied to a chair, Garner would wriggle his hands before attempting to seize a gun from one of the burglars, leading to him being shot twelve times in the torso, neck, left arm, and right leg. It would be revealed that the thieves had stolen a number of his gold and diamond jewelry before running away from the room and exiting through a fire escape. Despite security footage documenting the break-in and exit, no convictions were ever made for Genesys' death.<br />
===Funeral===<br />
An open casket service for Garner took place in his native San Jose, [[Santa Clara]], on 16 June 1998, where fans were allowed to pay their respects. His private funeral took place on 18 June, where hip hop group The Throne, former A.N.D. member [[Esoteric]], producer Doc Dre, and singer [[Marilyn Jill]] were among the attendees. He was entombed in a mausoleum at {{W|Oak Hill Memorial Park}}, San Jose, Santa Clara.<br />
<br />
==Posthumous releases==<br />
===1998–1999: ''God Don't Make Mistakes''===<br />
In July 1998, less than a month after the rapper's death, the first posthumous song featuring Garner was released, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99C23Y8l5hU Natural Born Killaz]</span>" with Esoteric, and was the lead single for Esoteric's second studio album, ''The Recipe'' (1998). In September, Garner would be featured on the single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-VT8_2uuF4 Grand Finale]</span>" with KMP featuring Doc Dre and Roc Steady from his debut album, ''Separatin Da Real From Da Fake'' (1998), as well as the song "{{w|Give Up the Goods (Just Step)|Gimme Yours}}" from Mac-12's debut album ''Shootouts in San Francisco'' (1999), which also featured a guest appearance from Stunnah Tee. <br />
<br />
''God Don't Make Mistakes'' was the first posthumous album to be released from Nuwrld under Garner's estate and Interscope, and was the last with his creative input. The album featured previously unreleased material recorded in 1997 during the recording sessions of ''The World Is Yours''. At the time in April 1997, an early version of ''The World Is Yours'' would be leaked online in MP3 format, leading to Garner vaulting the recorded material to be released after ''The World Is Yours''. The title of the album is taken from the song of the same name, which Garner had planned to be the lead single and focus track for his forthcoming album before his demise. In early 1999, posthumous vocals for Garner would appear on Doc Dre's second studio album, ''2000'', on the track "{{W|Nas Is Like|'98 Summer Jam}}", which would later be released as a single. Dre would state in an interview with VOD that much of the material the producer and rapper had completed was either remixed and repurposed for his posthumous solo releases or was vaulted, with him being granted permission to use one of those vaulted tracks after writing a heart-felt letter to Garner's mother. <br />
<br />
Supported by singles "{{W|The Message (Nas song)|The Message}}" and "Undying Love", ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would be released on 24 September 1999. The album featured production from Garner himself, Doc Dre, H.E.S., and C-Side, as well as guest appearances from Immortal Keys, Roc Steady as well as The Throne, and Trick Gabbana. It debuted at number 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling over 470,000 copies in its first week of sales. ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would later be certified triple platinum in North America, making it Garner's third best-selling release behind ''Bastard'' and ''The World Is Yours''. Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.<br />
<br />
===2000–2001: ''Faith''===<br />
In November 2000, after more than a year of no new releases, Garner's estate revealed that his second posthumous project, ''Faith'', had been finished and Garner's long-time collaborator, Roc Steady, confirmed that it was just awaiting approval for samples. Unlike ''God Don't Make Mistakes'', the album's production was overseen by DJ and producer, Dave "Killa" Sean; producing entirely new instrumentals for numerous songs, adding new production to various original instrumentals and serving as the album's executive producer, alongside Garner's mother Caroll Garner. Other producers hired to create new music for the album were H.E.S., JMIV, Flav Bandz, Coolin' Kick, and Marty Stewart.<br />
<br />
In February 2001, Garner's estate confirmed that the lead singles from ''Faith'' would be released the following month. Three singles: "Blaze a 40" and "{{W|Runnin' from tha Police}}" in March, and "You Gotta Love It" in April. Before release, the album attracted significant controversy due to featuring guest appearances that many felt went against Garner's wishes, including East coast rapper King Rakeem being posthumously featured himself on the aforementioned "Runnin' from tha Police". The music video for "You Gotta Love It", recorded in 1996 while on the Thugged Out tour with the Throne, is noted as having been the only unreleased music video made by Garner before his death, and features additional archival footage due to the track's remixed production extending the original song. <br />
<br />
Released as a double-album, ''Faith'' would arrive on 2 June 2000, what would've been the rapper's 29th birthday. Upon release, ''Faith'' debuted at number three on the ''Sunset'' 100 with 380,000 units sold, making it Garner's fourth-consecutive top 10 album on the charts while breaking his three-album streak of topping the charts. Highly anticipated, it received mixed reviews on release though would later be certified platinum in 2005. <br />
<br />
In September 2001, Garner would be posthumously featured on Roc Steady's fourth album, ''Still R.O.C.'', on the track "Don't Trip". During an interview circuit following the album's release, Roc Steady revealed that it was recorded only days before Garner's death and that he had received permission to release it by Garner's estate in 1999.<br />
<br />
===2002–2003: ''400 Years'' and film===<br />
<br />
In June 2002, Garner's manager Chase Devon would appear in an interview with ''The Porciúncula Times'', stating that there would only be one more Genesys album and announcing the title to be ''400 Years''. Like ''Faith'', much of the album's material featured was remixed from its original state, with the album featuring more than twenty guest artists in collaboration. ''400 Years'' would also be the first posthumous release to featured verses being re-used from previously released songs, such as "Ridin High" featuring Smokey 2X which re-used the verse from "Survival of the Fittest" from Garner's 1995 album, ''Bastard''. The album's lead singles, "The Flyest" featuring Riverside-based rapper Fivvey, and "Rich And Black" featuring Killer Woo, would both be certified gold. A Sierran biographical drama film, titled ''[[Genesys (Film)|Genesys]]'', would premiere on 1 May, 2003, starring his cousin and actor Trevor "Tre" Garner. The film would receive received mixed reviews from critics, however would gross $33.1 million on a $10 million budget.<br />
<br />
''400 Years'' would be release on 23 May 2003, debuting at number six on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling 270,000 units in its first week and being certified platinum in 2008. The album stirred significant controversy over the various featured acts on the album which many felt went against Garner's original vision, leading to a boycott of sales which resulted in the album dropping from the charts after only three weeks. It would later re-appear on the charts in 2004, 2009, 2018 and in 2023.<br />
<br />
===2003–Present: ''Greatest Hits'', anniversary releases and ''One World, One Life''===<br />
Despite ''400 Years'' being the last of Garner's posthumous studio releases, Nuwrld and Interscope would release a posthumous greatest hits compilation series over two-discs. The first disc, supported by the previously-unreleased single "What's The Word?" and a remix of "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" featuring Eminem, would be released on 5 December 2003. The first disc debuted at number two, selling more than 235,000 copies and later being certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA with sales of 4,355,250 being reported in 2008, thus making the release the second-highest of Garner's sales, behind ''The World Is Yours'', and has become his longest-running charting release with over 400 weeks being chronicled. <br />
<br />
The second disc, later being released on 2 June 2004, Garner's 33rd birthday, and preceded by the platinum-certified single "They Say", would top the ''Sunset'' 100 upon its release, selling 300,000 copies first week. It would later be certified double-platinum in 2010. Following the compilation series, Garner's contract with Interscope had ended. <br />
<br />
Garner was featured on "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDUvucdgNQ4 Incoming]</span>", the introductory track of Doc Dre's third studio album ''The Detox'', released on 21 April 2006. An untouched solo track since its original recording in early 1998, the track was considered lost for many years before resurfacing, among other unreleased performances, through a number of tapes Dre hadn't touched in his basement since the 1990s. "Incoming" marked the first time that Garner and Doc Dre had collaborated on a song since "'98 Summer Jam", released more than five years prior.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Nuwrld would release the single "Black Velvet", an outtake from ''Progressive Youth'', in celebration of the album's 15th anniversary. It would later be included in the release of the ''Progressive Youth: 20th Anniversary'' box-set in 2013, which also included the previously-unreleased "550 Fahrenheit" among other rare performances. The re-issue would debut at number 71 on the ''Sunset 100''.<br />
<br />
In 2020, ''Bastard: 25th Anniversary'' would be released. Supported by the single "Park Lane", it would debut at number 65 on the ''Sunset'' 100. It would additionally feature unreleased collaborations from the ''Bastard'' sessions such as "The Game" with Zaa and Mac-12 and "In the Long Run" with Doc Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as packaging the non-album singles released from 1994 to 1996 and the instrumentals to the album's four major singles. A bonus DVD would be included in the release, featuring Garner's 1995 performance at Nimbus Park, Bernheim, while on the Thugged Out tour in 1995. The footage was a part of a behind-the-scenes series on the rapper at the time, with it being aired that year as a special for VOD. <br />
<br />
In 2022, a majority stake in Garner's rights and income streams was sold to Nova Music Productions in a reported nine-figure deal, according to ''Sierra Media'', with Nova now owning more than 90% of Garner's interest in master recording income and nearly 90% of his share of publishing ownership. In an email sent to ''Sunset'' by Nova CEO Jerry Heinz: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text=“To represent the body of work of Genesys – whose cultural significance, continued relevance, and generational influence can't be overstated – is an honor and a responsibility.”<br />
}}<br />
<br />
On 11 October, 2024, the previously-unreleased song "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPmUHNaqKP0 L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. III]</span>", which was reportedly lost and part of Dre's re-discovery of old tapes, would be released as the single to the 26th anniversary boxset of ''The World Is Yours''. It would be the first single since 2003's "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed8DhhsIOlk What's Your Price?]</span>" to chart on the ''Sunset'' rap singles, with the song later peaking at number 88. <br />
<br />
The anniversary re-issue would be release on 27 December, 2024, with a bonus disc containing 13 additional tracks titled ''[[The World Is Yours#2024 Anniversary|One World, One Life]]'' "[representing] the final work of rapper and visionary Genesys", according to Nova Music.<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
===Legal issues===<br />
[[File:Garner leaving prison 1994.jpg|thumb|right|Garner leaving prison in July 1994.]]<br />
In 1987, Garner was arrested on gun and drug-related charges in Madera County, Santa Clara, by state troopers. After Garner was stopped by police after an hour-long pursuit for carjacking, authorities found a unregistered firearm and a backpack containing ounces of marijuana split accordingly for distribution. After an altercation between Garner and the police, he and another man named Travis Mullin, were arrested and taken to Madera County jail before being transferred to the county jail in San Jose county. Garner was charged for expired tags, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of marijuana. Garner would later be sentenced to three years of probation in 1989.<br />
<br />
Garner was present at the 1992 Porciúncula riots, where he would be arrested for rioting and later posting bond that same day.<br />
<br />
Garner would be imprisoned in March 1993 due to possession of a unregistered firearm after a drive-by shooting targeted him and he returned fire, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. <br />
<br />
In 1994, Garner would appear alongside the Sierran Civil Liberties Association in their 5-7 August march in Porciúncula for the implementation of affirmative action on university campuses. The following month, affirmative action would be struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in ''Perkins v. San Francisco'', which Garner said was "ignorant" in a 1996 ''RBS News'' interview. <br />
<br />
In 1996, while on the Thugged Out tour, Garner would be arrested and charged with battery for attacking a fan after they allegedly threw a bottle at him after the show, with the fan additionally seeking $3 million in damages. The charges would later be dropped and the case settled out of court.<br />

<br />
'''Nuwrld''', sometimes stylized in lower-case, is a Sierran record label founded in 1994 by Garner following the termination of his contract with The Prestige. Intended as a means for Garner to retain a significant portion of his royalties, the label would sign distribution contracts with Interscope Records that same year. <br />
<br />
Nuwrld's first act, the rap supergroup The Throne consisting of Garner himself and the rappers Zaa, Roc Steady, Killer Woo, and Mac-12 along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, would be signed to both collective and individual release contracts in 1995. In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana, being the first and only female rapper to sign to the label. In 1997, Garner would sign Riverside-based rapper Gemset and Porciúncula-based rapper KMP, being the last two artists to sign to the label before Garner's death. <br />

'''Isaiah Joshua Garner''' (2 June 1971 – 9 June 1998), professionally known as '''Genesys''', was a [[Sierrans|Sierran]] rapper and producer. Garner is often recognized as having pioneered gangster rap and is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Much of Garner's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues in [[Styxie]], with much of his lyrics being semi-autobiographical and vividly depicting the violence of street life during and after the [[The Disturbances]].<br />
<br />
Born and raised in the Redwood Projects of [[San Jose, Santa Clara|San Jose]], [[Santa Clara]], Garner would join the rap group Armed 'N Dangerous (shortened to A.N.D.) at the age of 16. With the group, Garner would perform on the group's three releases, ''WWCD'' (1988), ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989), and ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991). Following his departure from the group in 1992 and an ongoing feud between himself and remaining members, namely Godsun, Garner would release his debut album, ''Progressive Youth'' (1993), to widespread critical acclaim and has later been regarded as one of the defining hip hop albums of the 1990s. The album's release, however, only further escalated the feud that led to public brawls and shootings. After the release of Garner's second solo album, ''Bastard'' (1995), he would become recognized as a mainstream figure in media and the hardcore rap subgenre. Finding individual success, he would form his own rap group [[The Throne]] with various local rappers from [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], and later performing on their debut release, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), to further acclaim. <br />
<br />
At the same time, Genesys had become embroiled in a war with East coast rappers King Rakeem, the Disciplez, among others in the [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. Following Rakeem's death in a drive-by shooting in December 1997, speculations of involvement by Garner's involvement circulated around the world, leading to various attempts being made on his life in the following months. ''[[The World Is Yours|The World Is Yours]]'', a double album, was released on 27 March, 1998. On 9 June, Garner would be killed in an armed robbery at his London hotel in the [[United Kingdom]] while on tour, with the four assailants remaining unidentified to this day. <br />
<br />
Posthumously, Garner's fourth studio album ''[[God Don't Make Mistakes]]'' (1999), would reach number one on the [[Sunset 100|''Sunset'' 100]]. His fifth album, ''[[Faith]]'', was released in September 2001 and peaked at number 3 on the ''Sunset'' 100. His sixth studio release and fourth posthumous, ''400 Years'', would be released in 2003 to coincide with a [[Genesys (Film)|Sierran biographical drama film named after the rapper]], while a series of anniversary releases from 2008 to 2020 would prelude the ''[[The World Is Yours#2024 Anniversary|One World, One Life]]'' album, released on 27 December, 2024. <br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Isaiah Joshua Garner was born on 2 June 1971 in San Jose, Santa Clara, to Jamaican parents. Garner's father, Darius Waters, was incarcerated only days following Garner's birth due to ties with the Sierran Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, and would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism, murder, robbery, and the distribution of illicit drugs such as cocaine and marijuana. As a result, Garner would spend his early years being raised by his mother, Caroll Garner, whom would later be arrested for attempted acts of domestic terrorism. Caroll Garner would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism and attempted murder, though would later be paroled and placed on house arrest as part of the 1986 No Mother Left Behind Act. Following his mother's arrest, Garner would be raised by his grandmother, Aniyah Garner, in the Redwood projects. <br />
<br />
Isaiah Garner attended West Redwood High School until he dropped out in the ninth grade. He described himself as a "misfit" during that time, citing how quiet he was and regularly being involved in physical confrontations. At the age of 14, Garner would be kicked out of his grandmother's residence, moving constantly and supporting himself mainly by selling drugs. Garner would later state in an interview with ''Sierra Media'' that he was introduced to crime at a young age, and was a member of the East Redwood Crip gang. Garner's music manager Dwayne Ricardo recalls seeing Garner selling marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines prior to rapping, and during his initial musical career, was labeled as a "thug". Ricardo explains: "The hood where he grew up was a dangerous place. He was a small guy. 'Thug' was a role that was widely understood on the street; it gave you a certain level of protection in the sense that people hesitated to fuck with you. Likewise, 'dope dealer' was a role that accorded you certain privileges and respect."<br />
<br />
==Musical career==<br />
===1987–1991: Early career and A.N.D.===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1988.jpg|thumb|right|Garner in the music video for "It Feels Good" from A.N.D's debut album, ''WWCD'', released in 1988.]]<br />
In June 1987, at age 17, Garner had went by the stage name Nasty G and formed his first group with Cubano and MC Murdah known as the Microphone Murderers. By July, the group had expanded to include other childhood friends of Garner, namely Godsun and Esoteric. The group's first release, a self-titled demo tape hosted by DJ Blazin', would lead to local popularity and the group re-branding as Armed N' Dangerous (A.N.D.). By October, through their manager Keon Tyler, the group would secure a recording contract with The Prestige, a San Jose-native record label that had previously hosted numerous minor hip hop acts in Styxie. Following Cubano's death a day later in a drive-by shooting, the group would dedicate their debut album to their fallen friend, titling their debut release ''WWCD'' ("What Would Cubano Do?") in memorial. ''WWCD'' would be released in April 1988, and with the instant hit single such as "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IJCFc_qkHw It Feels Good (To Be A Gangsta)]</span>", the group and it's individual members would be elevated to regional popularity. <br />
<br />
Not feeling constricted to racially charged political issues pioneered by rap artists such as Shock Brigade or Jump Dance Productions, A.N.D. favored themes exploring grim descriptions of violence and inner-city turmoil while composed of uncompromising lyrics. Propelled by the hit "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADdpLv3RDhA Fuck tha Police]</span>", the group's first full album ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989) became a major success, despite an almost complete absence of radio airplay or major concert tours. The Office of Bureaucratic and Internal Affairs sent The Prestige a warning letter in response to the song's content, in addition to policemen refusing to provide security for the group's concerts, diminished plans for lengthy tours. Nonetheless, the OBIA's letter only served to draw more publicity to the group, with their third album, ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991), continuing to push their success to new heights.<br />
<br />
===1992–1993: ''Progressive Youth'' and incarceration===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1993.jpg|thumb|Genesys performing in 1993.]]<br />
Following the release of ''Redwood Shooters'' and its supporting tour, on 2 February 1992, Garner would leave A.N.D. citing financial disputes. Despite being held in limbo for a month, he would remain signed to The Prestige. Beginning in March, Garner started recording his debut album at Dungeon studios in [[Porciúncula]], [[Gold Coast]], with production duo Chop & Chord. The first tracks recorded in these sessions include the album's less radio-friendly content (including "Stomp Em Out", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rXHhnnmEDs 25 To Life]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTKpYJ80OVQ Shook Ones]</span>" featuring Stunnah Tee), which ''La Brea Times'' described as an "higher-pitched" Garner sounding "hungry and bitter". At the same time, Garner would record guest appearances for Doc Dre's landmark record, ''The Chronic'' (1992), being featured on the single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-Pl9tJjaE Bitches Ain't Shit]</span>" alongside Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as "High Power" and "Deeez Nuuuts". After a brief incarceration for possession of an illegal firearm, stalling the album's production, Garner returned to the studio in November with "smoother, more confident vocals" and completed the album. In this stage, the more commercial-sounding tracks of the album were recorded with DJ Tone Love, including the album's second single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khhOoSxnyVA From The Bacc]</span>" featuring Lord Subliminal, which debuted at number 23 on the ''Sunset'' Rap chart. <br />
<br />
In 1993, Garner's debut studio album, ''Progressive Youth'', was released. It featured production from Garner himself, Chop & Chord, Pedro Wreck, DJ Tone Love and Kilo Klick, as well as guest appearances from Lord Subliminal, Stunnah Tee, and rap group Oakalona Boyz. The album debuted at 20 on the ''Sunset'' album chart, being certified gold within five months of release. In 2020, ''Progressive Youth'' was hailed by ''Rolling Rock'' as one of the 200 Greatest Debut Rap Albums of All Time.<br />
<br />
Despite claiming not having made any references to his former group, the release of "Shook Ones" was perceived by A.N.D. as subliminally dissing them, with members Godsun and MC Murder dissing Garner in response on numerous tracks from the group's fourth album released a month later, ''Appetite for Destruction'', escalating the feud. Between A.N.D. and Garner, the feud would reach a breaking point when on 11 February 1993, during a venue show headlined by A.N.D.-affiliate Jay Flavor in Porciúncula, Garner was reportedly in the across the street doing a local radio interview. After being notified of Garner's location prior to the show, Flavor and his entourage would reportedly ask the venue owners for a "20 minute delay" due to the Flavor "feeling a bit ill". Flavor and his entourage would then walk across the street, entering the station. Anthony Malken, a member of Flavor's entourage, would allegedly flash a gun to the receptionist, leading them to bring the crew to the recording room. According to rapper Stunnah Tee, who was present at the interview, upon entering Flavor would say, 'What's up?', leading to an immediate brawl before would security rush in. Stunnah Tee would recall, "They grabbed [Garner] and said, 'This isn't the place.', and then we ran out the back before the police arrived."<br />
<br />
On 6 March 1993, Garner would be targeted in a drive-by shooting in Porciúncula as he was leaving a Chess Pizza restaurant with security. The shooting would lead to Garner being shot twice, as well as two members of his entourage being injured. Despite making a full recovery months later, Garner would be imprisoned due to his possession of a unregistered firearm at the time of the shooting, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. During his incarceration, Garner would be featured on "Takeover (Free Him out tha Pen)" by Lord Subliminal for his self-titled LP, with him rapping an extra verse expressing his hope for the artist's security and freedom.<br />
<br />
===1994–1995: ''Bastard'', The Throne, and feuds===<br />
{{Main|Bastard (Genesys album)|l1=Bastard}}<br />
Shortly after his release from prison, Garner's recording contract with The Prestige would be terminated, with the rapper later expressing that the label wanted more commercial music "akin to Doc Dre's ''The Chronic''" instead of his own creative vision. Being able to retain his masters from his previous album, Garner would establish his own record label, Nuwrld, under the distribution network of {{W|Interscope}}. Double Deuce CEO Metro Dimes would later state that he had made the connection for the rapper at the time, due to Double Deuce being under their own contract with Interscope. In response to being dropped, Garner would release the single "{{W|I Gave You Power}}", which metaphorically depicted the rapper as a gun while simultaneously dissing The Prestige and their CEO, James Canden. Garner would later join the Doc Dre and Double Deuce's ''Viewer Discretion Advised'' 1994 tour from August to October as a co-headlining act; at the same time, Garner began writing material for his second studio album, which was given a slated release for Summer 1995. <br />
<br />
In November 1994, recording would begin for Garner's second album, then known as ''Growing Pains''. Garner originally wanted to record a semi-biographical trilogy of records, with the first entry reportedly being his debut album ''Progressive Youth'', however, he would ultimately find himself unsatisfied with the work produced, leading it to being scrapped. Later that month, Garner would record music over a four-day period at Dungeon recording studio in Porciúncula with producers Doc Dre and Big Dolla. While they had supposedly recorded over three hours of material, only one song from these sessions would make the final cut, being "{{W|Halftime (song)|Halftime}}". Garner would also record verses for Immortal Key's album ''Every Dogg has his Day'', released the following year. He would be featured on the third single, "Murder 4 Hire", as well as the track "Shot Clock Shooters". <br />
[[File:The Throne without Genesys collage.png|thumb|400px|The Throne (minus Genesys, left to right): Zaa, Killer Woo, H.E.S., [[Roc Steady]], C-Side, MAC-12.]]<br />
After performing at the 1994 Bernheim New Year's Eve Concert, Garner would start recording in Bernheim in January 1995 after being inspired by the neighborhoods him and his entourage would drive by, reminding him of San Jose. Initially scheduled for two-weeks, Garner would travel to The Cave music venue to witness the nightly activity of rap battles that had become popularized a year prior. After being impressed by the numerous acts present, Garner would form the rap group The Throne with rappers Zaa, Killer Woo, [[Roc Steady]], and MAC-12, along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, signing them to Genesys' newly-formed record label under Interscope, nuwrld. With The Throne, Genesys would spend an additional two months recording in Bernheim, working on his solo album and what would later become The Throne's debut album, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), at the same time.<br />
<br />
Originally named ''Street Dreams'', ''[[Bastard (Genesys album)|Bastard]]'' arrived on 23 June 1995. The album was remarkedly short compared to his previous release, being only ten tracks. It was preceded by three singles, "{{W|N.Y. State of Mind|L.A. State of Mind}}", "{{W|Life's a Bitch (song)|Life's a Bitch}}", and "{{W|Survival of the Fittest (song)|Survival of the Fittest}}"; a fourth single, "{{W|Triumph (song)|Triumph}}", would be released following the album's success. In contrast to the political messages Garner had rapped about previously, the album shows Garner being engulfed into the gangsta lifestyle. With simple yet stark production, the album featured more gritty and dark ballads detailing the street life: its hardships and its successes. Music journalist Daniel Godenan noted that Garner, once released from prison, became more aggressive, and "seemed like a completely transformed artist". The album debuted at No. 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100 and sold 322,000 units in its first week, setting a then-record for highest first-week sales for a solo male rapper, later being certified 4× Platinum and regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Upon its release, the album would attract controversy due to featuring disses aimed at King Rakeem, the Disciplez, A.N.D, and B Monie, escalating the bubbling [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. <br />
<br />
The Throne's debut album, ''T.H.U.G. (Truly Humbled Under God)'', would be released on 10 November 1995, through Nuwrld and Interscope, debuting at number nine on the ''Sunset'' 100 and placing second om the Top Rap Albums, shipping 125,000 units. It went on to sell 1.2 million copies in North America receiving Platinum certification status by the RIAA in 1997. The singles, "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" and {{W|Hail Mary (2Pac song)|Hail Mary}}", were both certified gold the following year. Following the release of the ''T.H.U.G.'', Garner and the Throne would embark on the Thugged Out Tour beginning in December 1995 and ending in April 1996. <br />
===1996–1998: ''The World is Yours'' and final recordings===<br />
In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana to Nuwrld. That same year, the label would host the release of Roc Steady's debut release, ''Meet The Roc'', which Garner executively produced and guest featured on the lead single, "Drop a Gem on 'Em", a response and diss track to the Disciplez 1996 single, "L.A. L.A."; he would also be featured on the track "W.C.K. (West Coast Killaz)". In May, Garner would release two non-album singles, "Every Day Gun Play", which debuted at number 8 on the Rap chart, and "{{W|Front Lines (Hell on Earth)|Hell on Earth}}" featuring Roc Steady, which debuted at number 6. On 9 August, associates of the Disciplez would attend one of The Throne's concerts in Porciúncula, leading to a brawl where two people were killed and twenty were injured. After the end of the tour circuit, in late 1996, Garner would confirm in an interview with ''[[RBS News]]'' that he had begun work on his album, revealing the working title to be ''Executive Decisions'' and stated he had been in collaboration with long-time collaborator Doc Dre. <br />
[[File:Standard the world is yours cover.jpg|thumb|Album cover for Genesys' third studio album, ''The World Is Yours'', released in 1998.]]<br />
In 1997, Garner would be featured on lead single "Mob Ties" by Roc Steady, Zaa, and H.E.S. as part of their collaborative album, ''47th and Kings''. He would also be featured on the remix of "Affirmative Action" by Trick Gabbana from the deluxe edition of her debut album, ''Trick Trick'', alongside Mac-12; and "{{W|Love Is All We Need}}" by Brook Lynn from her album ''See My World''. Garner would make later guest appearances on Zaa's debut album ''Murda Muzik'', released through Nuwrld, on the tracks "Album Intro" and "La Familia" alongside Trick Gabbana and Mac-12; and "{{W|Fast Life (Kool G Rap song)|Fast Life}}" by Ysuah from his album ''Incarcerated Scarfaces''. Garner would make his individual return to the charts with the release of two singles: "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8dyp89uWxA The World Is Yours (Imagine That)]</span>" featuring R&B singer Marilyn Jil;, and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5wZGRe8D7o Get Ya Self A Gun]</span>". Both would debut within the top 10 of the Rap singles chart, with billboards across [[Porciúncula]] featuring the title for the album, ''The World Is Yours'', as well as revealing the cover and the release date during this time. He would release one more single before the end of the year, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu0Br3qvgEw All Biz]</span>" featuring rappers Zaa, Trick Gabbana and singer Anita Johnson, in November.<br />
<br />
After the release of Hovah's ''The Blueprint'' (1997) and diss track "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHiFMW8s6zk Conquer and Control]</span>" gaining substantial traction due to the rapper claiming to be the "King of the West", Garner would respond on 2 January 1998 with the release of the album's fourth and fifth singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVNRjPpo68I L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. II]</span>" and the diss-track "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfyQ8muKLdc Ether]</span>". On the day "Ether" was released, Hovah and his entourage visited a Bernheim club where the DJ started to play the intro to the song. Both men told the DJ not to do so, allegedly threatening his life, but he refused the request and played it anyway. Fellow rapper Ysuah, also present in the club that night, cited this – along with the rapturous response of the club attendees once the song was eventually played – as a major turning point in the feud and a sign that Garner would emerge victorious: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text="...the club was going up, and that’s when I knew it was over. The DJ was like, 'Fuck that,' and played that shit. And the club went up. That’s when I knew Genesys won. The streets had spoken. The DJ played it and Hov' was in the building […] Genesys beat Hov'."<br />
}}<br />
After a month delay due to mixing, ''[[The World Is Yours]]'' would be released as a double-album on 27 March 1998. With 20 tracks on the standard edition, it would be the longest album released by Garner, and would top the ''Sunset'' 100 album chart, selling 471,000 copies in its opening week and being certified gold only two weeks after release. The album was recorded in various studios throughout the Kingdom of Sierra, featuring several high-profile producers and guest appearances from members of the Throne (both individually and as a group), Trick Gabbana, KMP, Marilyn Jill, among others. Upon release, ''The World Is Yours'' received instant critical acclaim, and it has been ranked by critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time, being consistently ranked in the top 200 on Rolling Rock's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2016 with shipments of over 6 million copies, with each disc in the double album counted as a separate unit for certification. <br />
<br />
In April 1998, Garner would release the music video for the album's sixth single, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFbwtTeOvR8 Come Get Me]</span>". That same month, he would embark on a tour for the album with Zaa, Roc Steady, H.E.S. and Trick Gabbana, beginning with a European leg throughout early summer before returning to North America for the remainder of the year.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
[[File:Genesys killers.jpg|thumb|Still image captured of the moment the robbers entered through the back-entrance of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}}, London, [[United Kingdom]].]]<br />
On 9 June 1998, Garner was renting a room out of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}} in London, [[United Kingdom]], while on a 24-show European tour in support of his double-album, ''The World Is Yours''. After performing at {{W|London Arena|Docklands Arena}} from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Garner would attend a concert after-party before returning to the hotel around 11:15 p.m. At around 2:50 a.m., four hooded men would enter the hotel through an unlocked back-entrance door. Despite initial footage showing them unarmed and unmasked upon entering the elevator, all would be wearing ski masks while two wielded handguns upon their exit on the tenth floor. They would then break into the room by breaking off the lock with a hammer. <br />
<br />
Once they accessed his room, they reportedly held a gun to his head, tying his hands with duct tape and using it as a gag. While tied to a chair, Garner would wriggle his hands before attempting to seize a gun from one of the burglars, leading to him being shot twelve times in the torso, neck, left arm, and right leg. It would be revealed that the thieves had stolen a number of his gold and diamond jewelry before running away from the room and exiting through a fire escape. Despite security footage documenting the break-in and exit, no convictions were ever made for Genesys' death.<br />
===Funeral===<br />
An open casket service for Garner took place in his native San Jose, [[Santa Clara]], on 16 June 1998, where fans were allowed to pay their respects. His private funeral took place on 18 June, where hip hop group The Throne, former A.N.D. member [[Esoteric]], producer Doc Dre, and singer [[Marilyn Jill]] were among the attendees. He was entombed in a mausoleum at {{W|Oak Hill Memorial Park}}, San Jose, Santa Clara.<br />
<br />
==Posthumous releases==<br />
===1998–1999: ''God Don't Make Mistakes''===<br />
In July 1998, less than a month after the rapper's death, the first posthumous song featuring Garner was released, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99C23Y8l5hU Natural Born Killaz]</span>" with Esoteric, and was the lead single for Esoteric's second studio album, ''The Recipe'' (1998). In September, Garner would be featured on the single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-VT8_2uuF4 Grand Finale]</span>" with KMP featuring Doc Dre and Roc Steady from his debut album, ''Separatin Da Real From Da Fake'' (1998), as well as the song "{{w|Give Up the Goods (Just Step)|Gimme Yours}}" from Mac-12's debut album ''Shootouts in San Francisco'' (1999), which also featured a guest appearance from Stunnah Tee. <br />
<br />
''God Don't Make Mistakes'' was the first posthumous album to be released from Nuwrld under Garner's estate and Interscope, and was the last with his creative input. The album featured previously unreleased material recorded in 1997 during the recording sessions of ''The World Is Yours''. At the time in April 1997, an early version of ''The World Is Yours'' would be leaked online in MP3 format, leading to Garner vaulting the recorded material to be released after ''The World Is Yours''. The title of the album is taken from the song of the same name, which Garner had planned to be the lead single and focus track for his forthcoming album before his demise. In early 1999, posthumous vocals for Garner would appear on Doc Dre's second studio album, ''2000'', on the track "{{W|Nas Is Like|'98 Summer Jam}}", which would later be released as a single. Dre would state in an interview with VOD that much of the material the producer and rapper had completed was either remixed and repurposed for his posthumous solo releases or was vaulted, with him being granted permission to use one of those vaulted tracks after writing a heart-felt letter to Garner's mother. <br />
<br />
Supported by singles "{{W|The Message (Nas song)|The Message}}" and "Undying Love", ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would be released on 24 September 1999. The album featured production from Garner himself, Doc Dre, H.E.S., and C-Side, as well as guest appearances from Immortal Keys, Roc Steady as well as The Throne, and Trick Gabbana. It debuted at number 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling over 470,000 copies in its first week of sales. ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would later be certified triple platinum in North America, making it Garner's third best-selling release behind ''Bastard'' and ''The World Is Yours''. Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.<br />
<br />
===2000–2001: ''Faith''===<br />
In November 2000, after more than a year of no new releases, Garner's estate revealed that his second posthumous project, ''Faith'', had been finished and Garner's long-time collaborator, Roc Steady, confirmed that it was just awaiting approval for samples. Unlike ''God Don't Make Mistakes'', the album's production was overseen by DJ and producer, Dave "Killa" Sean; producing entirely new instrumentals for numerous songs, adding new production to various original instrumentals and serving as the album's executive producer, alongside Garner's mother Caroll Garner. Other producers hired to create new music for the album were H.E.S., JMIV, Flav Bandz, Coolin' Kick, and Marty Stewart.<br />
<br />
In February 2001, Garner's estate confirmed that the lead singles from ''Faith'' would be released the following month. Three singles: "Blaze a 40" and "{{W|Runnin' from tha Police}}" in March, and "You Gotta Love It" in April. Before release, the album attracted significant controversy due to featuring guest appearances that many felt went against Garner's wishes, including East coast rapper King Rakeem being posthumously featured himself on the aforementioned "Runnin' from tha Police". The music video for "You Gotta Love It", recorded in 1996 while on the Thugged Out tour with the Throne, is noted as having been the only unreleased music video made by Garner before his death, and features additional archival footage due to the track's remixed production extending the original song. <br />
<br />
Released as a double-album, ''Faith'' would arrive on 2 June 2000, what would've been the rapper's 29th birthday. Upon release, ''Faith'' debuted at number three on the ''Sunset'' 100 with 380,000 units sold, making it Garner's fourth-consecutive top 10 album on the charts while breaking his three-album streak of topping the charts. Highly anticipated, it received mixed reviews on release though would later be certified platinum in 2005. <br />
<br />
In September 2001, Garner would be posthumously featured on Roc Steady's fourth album, ''Still R.O.C.'', on the track "Don't Trip". During an interview circuit following the album's release, Roc Steady revealed that it was recorded only days before Garner's death and that he had received permission to release it by Garner's estate in 1999.<br />
<br />
===2002–2003: ''400 Years'' and film===<br />
<br />
In June 2002, Garner's manager Chase Devon would appear in an interview with ''The Porciúncula Times'', stating that there would only be one more Genesys album and announcing the title to be ''400 Years''. Like ''Faith'', much of the album's material featured was remixed from its original state, with the album featuring more than twenty guest artists in collaboration. ''400 Years'' would also be the first posthumous release to featured verses being re-used from previously released songs, such as "Ridin High" featuring Smokey 2X which re-used the verse from "Survival of the Fittest" from Garner's 1995 album, ''Bastard''. The album's lead singles, "The Flyest" featuring Riverside-based rapper Fivvey, and "Rich And Black" featuring Killer Woo, would both be certified gold. A Sierran biographical drama film, titled ''[[Genesys (Film)|Genesys]]'', would premiere on 1 May, 2003, starring his cousin and actor Trevor "Tre" Garner. The film would receive received mixed reviews from critics, however would gross $33.1 million on a $10 million budget.<br />
<br />
''400 Years'' would be release on 23 May 2003, debuting at number six on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling 270,000 units in its first week and being certified platinum in 2008. The album stirred significant controversy over the various featured acts on the album which many felt went against Garner's original vision, leading to a boycott of sales which resulted in the album dropping from the charts after only three weeks. It would later re-appear on the charts in 2004, 2009, 2018 and in 2023.<br />
<br />
===2003–Present: ''Greatest Hits'', anniversary releases and ''One World, One Life''===<br />
Despite ''400 Years'' being the last of Garner's posthumous studio releases, Nuwrld and Interscope would release a posthumous greatest hits compilation series over two-discs. The first disc, supported by the previously-unreleased single "What's The Word?" and a remix of "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" featuring Eminem, would be released on 5 December 2003. The first disc debuted at number two, selling more than 235,000 copies and later being certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA with sales of 4,355,250 being reported in 2008, thus making the release the second-highest of Garner's sales, behind ''The World Is Yours'', and has become his longest-running charting release with over 400 weeks being chronicled. <br />
<br />
The second disc, later being released on 2 June 2004, Garner's 33rd birthday, and preceded by the platinum-certified single "They Say", would top the ''Sunset'' 100 upon its release, selling 300,000 copies first week. It would later be certified double-platinum in 2010. Following the compilation series, Garner's contract with Interscope had ended. <br />
<br />
Garner was featured on "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDUvucdgNQ4 Incoming]</span>", the introductory track of Doc Dre's third studio album ''The Detox'', released on 21 April 2006. An untouched solo track since its original recording in early 1998, the track was considered lost for many years before resurfacing, among other unreleased performances, through a number of tapes Dre hadn't touched in his basement since the 1990s. "Incoming" marked the first time that Garner and Doc Dre had collaborated on a song since "'98 Summer Jam", released more than five years prior.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Nuwrld would release the single "Black Velvet", an outtake from ''Progressive Youth'', in celebration of the album's 15th anniversary. It would later be included in the release of the ''Progressive Youth: 20th Anniversary'' box-set in 2013, which also included the previously-unreleased "550 Fahrenheit" among other rare performances. The re-issue would debut at number 71 on the ''Sunset 100''.<br />
<br />
In 2020, ''Bastard: 25th Anniversary'' would be released. Supported by the single "Park Lane", it would debut at number 65 on the ''Sunset'' 100. It would additionally feature unreleased collaborations from the ''Bastard'' sessions such as "The Game" with Zaa and Mac-12 and "In the Long Run" with Doc Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as packaging the non-album singles released from 1994 to 1996 and the instrumentals to the album's four major singles. A bonus DVD would be included in the release, featuring Garner's 1995 performance at Nimbus Park, Bernheim, while on the Thugged Out tour in 1995. The footage was a part of a behind-the-scenes series on the rapper at the time, with it being aired that year as a special for VOD. <br />
<br />
In 2022, a majority stake in Garner's rights and income streams was sold to Nova Music Productions in a reported nine-figure deal, according to ''Sierra Media'', with Nova now owning more than 90% of Garner's interest in master recording income and nearly 90% of his share of publishing ownership. In an email sent to ''Sunset'' by Nova CEO Jerry Heinz: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text=“To represent the body of work of Genesys – whose cultural significance, continued relevance, and generational influence can't be overstated – is an honor and a responsibility.”<br />
}}<br />
<br />
On 11 October, 2024, the previously-unreleased song "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPmUHNaqKP0 L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. III]</span>", which was reportedly lost and part of Dre's re-discovery of old tapes, would be released as the single to the 26th anniversary boxset of ''The World Is Yours''. It would be the first single since 2003's "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed8DhhsIOlk What's Your Price?]</span>" to chart on the ''Sunset'' rap singles, with the song later peaking at number 88. <br />
<br />
The anniversary re-issue would be release on 27 December, 2024, with a bonus disc containing 13 additional tracks titled ''[[The World Is Yours#2024 Anniversary|One World, One Life]]'' "[representing] the final work of rapper and visionary Genesys", according to Nova Music.<br />

==Controversy==<br />
===Legal issues===<br />
[[File:Garner leaving prison 1994.jpg|thumb|right|Garner leaving prison in July 1994.]]<br />
In 1987, Garner was arrested on gun and drug-related charges in Madera County, Santa Clara, by state troopers. After Garner was stopped by police after an hour-long pursuit for carjacking, authorities found a unregistered firearm and a backpack containing ounces of marijuana split accordingly for distribution. After an altercation between Garner and the police, he and another man named Travis Mullin, were arrested and taken to Madera County jail before being transferred to the county jail in San Jose county. Garner was charged for expired tags, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of marijuana. Garner would later be sentenced to three years of probation in 1989.<br />
<br />
Garner was present at the 1992 Porciúncula riots, where he would be arrested for rioting and later posting bond that same day.<br />
<br />
Garner would be imprisoned in March 1993 due to possession of a unregistered firearm after a drive-by shooting targeted him and he returned fire, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. <br />
<br />
In 1994, Garner would appear alongside the Sierran Civil Liberties Association in their 5-7 August march in Porciúncula for the implementation of affirmative action on university campuses. The following month, affirmative action would be struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in ''Perkins v. San Francisco'', which Garner said was "ignorant" in a 1996 ''RBS News'' interview. <br />
<br />
In 1996, while on the Thugged Out tour, Garner would be arrested and charged with battery for attacking a fan after they allegedly threw a bottle at him after the show, with the fan additionally seeking $3 million in damages. The charges would later be dropped and the case settled out of court.<br />

'''Nuwrld''', sometimes stylized in lower-case, is a Sierran record label founded in 1994 by Garner following the termination of his contract with The Prestige. Intended as a means for Garner to retain a significant portion of his royalties, the label would sign distribution contracts with Interscope Records that same year. <br />
<br />
Nuwrld's first act, the rap supergroup The Throne consisting of Garner himself and the rappers Zaa, Roc Steady, Killer Woo, and Mac-12 along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, would be signed to both collective and individual release contracts in 1995. In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana, being the first and only female rapper to sign to the label. In 1997, Garner would sign Riverside-based rapper Gemset and Porciúncula-based rapper KMP, being the last two artists to sign to the label before Garner's death. <br />

<br />
'''Isaiah Joshua Garner''' (2 June 1971 – 9 June 1998), professionally known as '''Genesys''', was a [[Sierrans|Sierran]] rapper and producer. Garner is often recognized as having pioneered gangster rap and is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Much of Garner's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues in [[Styxie]], with much of his lyrics being semi-autobiographical and vividly depicting the violence of street life during and after the [[The Disturbances]].<br />
<br />
Born and raised in the Redwood Projects of [[San Jose, Santa Clara|San Jose]], [[Santa Clara]], Garner would join the rap group Armed 'N Dangerous (shortened to A.N.D.) at the age of 16. With the group, Garner would perform on the group's three releases, ''WWCD'' (1988), ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989), and ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991). Following his departure from the group in 1992 and an ongoing feud between himself and remaining members, namely Godsun, Garner would release his debut album, ''Progressive Youth'' (1993), to widespread critical acclaim and has later been regarded as one of the defining hip hop albums of the 1990s. The album's release, however, only further escalated the feud that led to public brawls and shootings. After the release of Garner's second solo album, ''Bastard'' (1995), he would become recognized as a mainstream figure in media and the hardcore rap subgenre. Finding individual success, he would form his own rap group [[The Throne]] with various local rappers from [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], and later performing on their debut release, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), to further acclaim. <br />
<br />
At the same time, Genesys had become embroiled in a war with East coast rappers King Rakeem, the Disciplez, among others in the [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. Following Rakeem's death in a drive-by shooting in December 1997, speculations of involvement by Garner's involvement circulated around the world, leading to various attempts being made on his life in the following months. ''[[The World Is Yours|The World Is Yours]]'', a double album, was released on 27 March, 1998. On 9 June, Garner would be killed in an armed robbery at his London hotel in the [[United Kingdom]] while on tour, with the four assailants remaining unidentified to this day. <br />
<br />
Posthumously, Garner's fourth studio album ''[[God Don't Make Mistakes]]'' (1999), would reach number one on the [[Sunset 100|''Sunset'' 100]]. His fifth album, ''[[Faith]]'', was released in September 2001 and peaked at number 3 on the ''Sunset'' 100. His sixth studio release and fourth posthumous, ''400 Years'', would be released in 2003 to coincide with a [[Genesys (Film)|Sierran biographical drama film named after the rapper]], while a series of anniversary releases from 2008 to 2020 would prelude the ''[[The World Is Yours#2024 Anniversary|One World, One Life]]'' album, released on 27 December, 2024. <br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Isaiah Joshua Garner was born on 2 June 1971 in San Jose, Santa Clara, to Jamaican parents. Garner's father, Darius Waters, was incarcerated only days following Garner's birth due to ties with the Sierran Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, and would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism, murder, robbery, and the distribution of illicit drugs such as cocaine and marijuana. As a result, Garner would spend his early years being raised by his mother, Caroll Garner, whom would later be arrested for attempted acts of domestic terrorism. Caroll Garner would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism and attempted murder, though would later be paroled and placed on house arrest as part of the 1986 No Mother Left Behind Act. Following his mother's arrest, Garner would be raised by his grandmother, Aniyah Garner, in the Redwood projects. <br />
<br />
Isaiah Garner attended West Redwood High School until he dropped out in the ninth grade. He described himself as a "misfit" during that time, citing how quiet he was and regularly being involved in physical confrontations. At the age of 14, Garner would be kicked out of his grandmother's residence, moving constantly and supporting himself mainly by selling drugs. Garner would later state in an interview with ''Sierra Media'' that he was introduced to crime at a young age, and was a member of the East Redwood Crip gang. Garner's music manager Dwayne Ricardo recalls seeing Garner selling marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines prior to rapping, and during his initial musical career, was labeled as a "thug". Ricardo explains: "The hood where he grew up was a dangerous place. He was a small guy. 'Thug' was a role that was widely understood on the street; it gave you a certain level of protection in the sense that people hesitated to fuck with you. Likewise, 'dope dealer' was a role that accorded you certain privileges and respect."<br />

===1987–1991: Early career and A.N.D.===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1988.jpg|thumb|right|Garner in the music video for "It Feels Good" from A.N.D's debut album, ''WWCD'', released in 1988.]]<br />
In June 1987, at age 17, Garner had went by the stage name Nasty G and formed his first group with Cubano and MC Murdah known as the Microphone Murderers. By July, the group had expanded to include other childhood friends of Garner, namely Godsun and Esoteric. The group's first release, a self-titled demo tape hosted by DJ Blazin', would lead to local popularity and the group re-branding as Armed N' Dangerous (A.N.D.). By October, through their manager Keon Tyler, the group would secure a recording contract with The Prestige, a San Jose-native record label that had previously hosted numerous minor hip hop acts in Styxie. Following Cubano's death a day later in a drive-by shooting, the group would dedicate their debut album to their fallen friend, titling their debut release ''WWCD'' ("What Would Cubano Do?") in memorial. ''WWCD'' would be released in April 1988, and with the instant hit single such as "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IJCFc_qkHw It Feels Good (To Be A Gangsta)]</span>", the group and it's individual members would be elevated to regional popularity. <br />
<br />
Not feeling constricted to racially charged political issues pioneered by rap artists such as Shock Brigade or Jump Dance Productions, A.N.D. favored themes exploring grim descriptions of violence and inner-city turmoil while composed of uncompromising lyrics. Propelled by the hit "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADdpLv3RDhA Fuck tha Police]</span>", the group's first full album ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989) became a major success, despite an almost complete absence of radio airplay or major concert tours. The Office of Bureaucratic and Internal Affairs sent The Prestige a warning letter in response to the song's content, in addition to policemen refusing to provide security for the group's concerts, diminished plans for lengthy tours. Nonetheless, the OBIA's letter only served to draw more publicity to the group, with their third album, ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991), continuing to push their success to new heights.<br />
<br />
===1992–1993: ''Progressive Youth'' and incarceration===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1993.jpg|thumb|Genesys performing in 1993.]]<br />
Following the release of ''Redwood Shooters'' and its supporting tour, on 2 February 1992, Garner would leave A.N.D. citing financial disputes. Despite being held in limbo for a month, he would remain signed to The Prestige. Beginning in March, Garner started recording his debut album at Dungeon studios in [[Porciúncula]], [[Gold Coast]], with production duo Chop & Chord. The first tracks recorded in these sessions include the album's less radio-friendly content (including "Stomp Em Out", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rXHhnnmEDs 25 To Life]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTKpYJ80OVQ Shook Ones]</span>" featuring Stunnah Tee), which ''La Brea Times'' described as an "higher-pitched" Garner sounding "hungry and bitter". At the same time, Garner would record guest appearances for Doc Dre's landmark record, ''The Chronic'' (1992), being featured on the single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-Pl9tJjaE Bitches Ain't Shit]</span>" alongside Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as "High Power" and "Deeez Nuuuts". After a brief incarceration for possession of an illegal firearm, stalling the album's production, Garner returned to the studio in November with "smoother, more confident vocals" and completed the album. In this stage, the more commercial-sounding tracks of the album were recorded with DJ Tone Love, including the album's second single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khhOoSxnyVA From The Bacc]</span>" featuring Lord Subliminal, which debuted at number 23 on the ''Sunset'' Rap chart. <br />
<br />
In 1993, Garner's debut studio album, ''Progressive Youth'', was released. It featured production from Garner himself, Chop & Chord, Pedro Wreck, DJ Tone Love and Kilo Klick, as well as guest appearances from Lord Subliminal, Stunnah Tee, and rap group Oakalona Boyz. The album debuted at 20 on the ''Sunset'' album chart, being certified gold within five months of release. In 2020, ''Progressive Youth'' was hailed by ''Rolling Rock'' as one of the 200 Greatest Debut Rap Albums of All Time.<br />
<br />
Despite claiming not having made any references to his former group, the release of "Shook Ones" was perceived by A.N.D. as subliminally dissing them, with members Godsun and MC Murder dissing Garner in response on numerous tracks from the group's fourth album released a month later, ''Appetite for Destruction'', escalating the feud. Between A.N.D. and Garner, the feud would reach a breaking point when on 11 February 1993, during a venue show headlined by A.N.D.-affiliate Jay Flavor in Porciúncula, Garner was reportedly in the across the street doing a local radio interview. After being notified of Garner's location prior to the show, Flavor and his entourage would reportedly ask the venue owners for a "20 minute delay" due to the Flavor "feeling a bit ill". Flavor and his entourage would then walk across the street, entering the station. Anthony Malken, a member of Flavor's entourage, would allegedly flash a gun to the receptionist, leading them to bring the crew to the recording room. According to rapper Stunnah Tee, who was present at the interview, upon entering Flavor would say, 'What's up?', leading to an immediate brawl before would security rush in. Stunnah Tee would recall, "They grabbed [Garner] and said, 'This isn't the place.', and then we ran out the back before the police arrived."<br />
<br />
On 6 March 1993, Garner would be targeted in a drive-by shooting in Porciúncula as he was leaving a Chess Pizza restaurant with security. The shooting would lead to Garner being shot twice, as well as two members of his entourage being injured. Despite making a full recovery months later, Garner would be imprisoned due to his possession of a unregistered firearm at the time of the shooting, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. During his incarceration, Garner would be featured on "Takeover (Free Him out tha Pen)" by Lord Subliminal for his self-titled LP, with him rapping an extra verse expressing his hope for the artist's security and freedom.<br />
<br />
===1994–1995: ''Bastard'', The Throne, and feuds===<br />
{{Main|Bastard (Genesys album)|l1=Bastard}}<br />
Shortly after his release from prison, Garner's recording contract with The Prestige would be terminated, with the rapper later expressing that the label wanted more commercial music "akin to Doc Dre's ''The Chronic''" instead of his own creative vision. Being able to retain his masters from his previous album, Garner would establish his own record label, Nuwrld, under the distribution network of {{W|Interscope}}. Double Deuce CEO Metro Dimes would later state that he had made the connection for the rapper at the time, due to Double Deuce being under their own contract with Interscope. In response to being dropped, Garner would release the single "{{W|I Gave You Power}}", which metaphorically depicted the rapper as a gun while simultaneously dissing The Prestige and their CEO, James Canden. Garner would later join the Doc Dre and Double Deuce's ''Viewer Discretion Advised'' 1994 tour from August to October as a co-headlining act; at the same time, Garner began writing material for his second studio album, which was given a slated release for Summer 1995. <br />
<br />
In November 1994, recording would begin for Garner's second album, then known as ''Growing Pains''. Garner originally wanted to record a semi-biographical trilogy of records, with the first entry reportedly being his debut album ''Progressive Youth'', however, he would ultimately find himself unsatisfied with the work produced, leading it to being scrapped. Later that month, Garner would record music over a four-day period at Dungeon recording studio in Porciúncula with producers Doc Dre and Big Dolla. While they had supposedly recorded over three hours of material, only one song from these sessions would make the final cut, being "{{W|Halftime (song)|Halftime}}". Garner would also record verses for Immortal Key's album ''Every Dogg has his Day'', released the following year. He would be featured on the third single, "Murder 4 Hire", as well as the track "Shot Clock Shooters". <br />
[[File:The Throne without Genesys collage.png|thumb|400px|The Throne (minus Genesys, left to right): Zaa, Killer Woo, H.E.S., [[Roc Steady]], C-Side, MAC-12.]]<br />
After performing at the 1994 Bernheim New Year's Eve Concert, Garner would start recording in Bernheim in January 1995 after being inspired by the neighborhoods him and his entourage would drive by, reminding him of San Jose. Initially scheduled for two-weeks, Garner would travel to The Cave music venue to witness the nightly activity of rap battles that had become popularized a year prior. After being impressed by the numerous acts present, Garner would form the rap group The Throne with rappers Zaa, Killer Woo, [[Roc Steady]], and MAC-12, along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, signing them to Genesys' newly-formed record label under Interscope, nuwrld. With The Throne, Genesys would spend an additional two months recording in Bernheim, working on his solo album and what would later become The Throne's debut album, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), at the same time.<br />
<br />
Originally named ''Street Dreams'', ''[[Bastard (Genesys album)|Bastard]]'' arrived on 23 June 1995. The album was remarkedly short compared to his previous release, being only ten tracks. It was preceded by three singles, "{{W|N.Y. State of Mind|L.A. State of Mind}}", "{{W|Life's a Bitch (song)|Life's a Bitch}}", and "{{W|Survival of the Fittest (song)|Survival of the Fittest}}"; a fourth single, "{{W|Triumph (song)|Triumph}}", would be released following the album's success. In contrast to the political messages Garner had rapped about previously, the album shows Garner being engulfed into the gangsta lifestyle. With simple yet stark production, the album featured more gritty and dark ballads detailing the street life: its hardships and its successes. Music journalist Daniel Godenan noted that Garner, once released from prison, became more aggressive, and "seemed like a completely transformed artist". The album debuted at No. 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100 and sold 322,000 units in its first week, setting a then-record for highest first-week sales for a solo male rapper, later being certified 4× Platinum and regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Upon its release, the album would attract controversy due to featuring disses aimed at King Rakeem, the Disciplez, A.N.D, and B Monie, escalating the bubbling [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. <br />
<br />
The Throne's debut album, ''T.H.U.G. (Truly Humbled Under God)'', would be released on 10 November 1995, through Nuwrld and Interscope, debuting at number nine on the ''Sunset'' 100 and placing second om the Top Rap Albums, shipping 125,000 units. It went on to sell 1.2 million copies in North America receiving Platinum certification status by the RIAA in 1997. The singles, "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" and {{W|Hail Mary (2Pac song)|Hail Mary}}", were both certified gold the following year. Following the release of the ''T.H.U.G.'', Garner and the Throne would embark on the Thugged Out Tour beginning in December 1995 and ending in April 1996. <br />
===1996–1998: ''The World is Yours'' and final recordings===<br />
In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana to Nuwrld. That same year, the label would host the release of Roc Steady's debut release, ''Meet The Roc'', which Garner executively produced and guest featured on the lead single, "Drop a Gem on 'Em", a response and diss track to the Disciplez 1996 single, "L.A. L.A."; he would also be featured on the track "W.C.K. (West Coast Killaz)". In May, Garner would release two non-album singles, "Every Day Gun Play", which debuted at number 8 on the Rap chart, and "{{W|Front Lines (Hell on Earth)|Hell on Earth}}" featuring Roc Steady, which debuted at number 6. On 9 August, associates of the Disciplez would attend one of The Throne's concerts in Porciúncula, leading to a brawl where two people were killed and twenty were injured. After the end of the tour circuit, in late 1996, Garner would confirm in an interview with ''[[RBS News]]'' that he had begun work on his album, revealing the working title to be ''Executive Decisions'' and stated he had been in collaboration with long-time collaborator Doc Dre. <br />
[[File:Standard the world is yours cover.jpg|thumb|Album cover for Genesys' third studio album, ''The World Is Yours'', released in 1998.]]<br />
In 1997, Garner would be featured on lead single "Mob Ties" by Roc Steady, Zaa, and H.E.S. as part of their collaborative album, ''47th and Kings''. He would also be featured on the remix of "Affirmative Action" by Trick Gabbana from the deluxe edition of her debut album, ''Trick Trick'', alongside Mac-12; and "{{W|Love Is All We Need}}" by Brook Lynn from her album ''See My World''. Garner would make later guest appearances on Zaa's debut album ''Murda Muzik'', released through Nuwrld, on the tracks "Album Intro" and "La Familia" alongside Trick Gabbana and Mac-12; and "{{W|Fast Life (Kool G Rap song)|Fast Life}}" by Ysuah from his album ''Incarcerated Scarfaces''. Garner would make his individual return to the charts with the release of two singles: "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8dyp89uWxA The World Is Yours (Imagine That)]</span>" featuring R&B singer Marilyn Jil;, and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5wZGRe8D7o Get Ya Self A Gun]</span>". Both would debut within the top 10 of the Rap singles chart, with billboards across [[Porciúncula]] featuring the title for the album, ''The World Is Yours'', as well as revealing the cover and the release date during this time. He would release one more single before the end of the year, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu0Br3qvgEw All Biz]</span>" featuring rappers Zaa, Trick Gabbana and singer Anita Johnson, in November.<br />
<br />
After the release of Hovah's ''The Blueprint'' (1997) and diss track "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHiFMW8s6zk Conquer and Control]</span>" gaining substantial traction due to the rapper claiming to be the "King of the West", Garner would respond on 2 January 1998 with the release of the album's fourth and fifth singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVNRjPpo68I L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. II]</span>" and the diss-track "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfyQ8muKLdc Ether]</span>". On the day "Ether" was released, Hovah and his entourage visited a Bernheim club where the DJ started to play the intro to the song. Both men told the DJ not to do so, allegedly threatening his life, but he refused the request and played it anyway. Fellow rapper Ysuah, also present in the club that night, cited this – along with the rapturous response of the club attendees once the song was eventually played – as a major turning point in the feud and a sign that Garner would emerge victorious: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text="...the club was going up, and that’s when I knew it was over. The DJ was like, 'Fuck that,' and played that shit. And the club went up. That’s when I knew Genesys won. The streets had spoken. The DJ played it and Hov' was in the building […] Genesys beat Hov'."<br />
}}<br />
After a month delay due to mixing, ''[[The World Is Yours]]'' would be released as a double-album on 27 March 1998. With 20 tracks on the standard edition, it would be the longest album released by Garner, and would top the ''Sunset'' 100 album chart, selling 471,000 copies in its opening week and being certified gold only two weeks after release. The album was recorded in various studios throughout the Kingdom of Sierra, featuring several high-profile producers and guest appearances from members of the Throne (both individually and as a group), Trick Gabbana, KMP, Marilyn Jill, among others. Upon release, ''The World Is Yours'' received instant critical acclaim, and it has been ranked by critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time, being consistently ranked in the top 200 on Rolling Rock's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2016 with shipments of over 6 million copies, with each disc in the double album counted as a separate unit for certification. <br />
<br />
In April 1998, Garner would release the music video for the album's sixth single, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFbwtTeOvR8 Come Get Me]</span>". That same month, he would embark on a tour for the album with Zaa, Roc Steady, H.E.S. and Trick Gabbana, beginning with a European leg throughout early summer before returning to North America for the remainder of the year.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
[[File:Genesys killers.jpg|thumb|Still image captured of the moment the robbers entered through the back-entrance of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}}, London, [[United Kingdom]].]]<br />
On 9 June 1998, Garner was renting a room out of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}} in London, [[United Kingdom]], while on a 24-show European tour in support of his double-album, ''The World Is Yours''. After performing at {{W|London Arena|Docklands Arena}} from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Garner would attend a concert after-party before returning to the hotel around 11:15 p.m. At around 2:50 a.m., four hooded men would enter the hotel through an unlocked back-entrance door. Despite initial footage showing them unarmed and unmasked upon entering the elevator, all would be wearing ski masks while two wielded handguns upon their exit on the tenth floor. They would then break into the room by breaking off the lock with a hammer. <br />
<br />
Once they accessed his room, they reportedly held a gun to his head, tying his hands with duct tape and using it as a gag. While tied to a chair, Garner would wriggle his hands before attempting to seize a gun from one of the burglars, leading to him being shot twelve times in the torso, neck, left arm, and right leg. It would be revealed that the thieves had stolen a number of his gold and diamond jewelry before running away from the room and exiting through a fire escape. Despite security footage documenting the break-in and exit, no convictions were ever made for Genesys' death.<br />
===Funeral===<br />
An open casket service for Garner took place in his native San Jose, [[Santa Clara]], on 16 June 1998, where fans were allowed to pay their respects. His private funeral took place on 18 June, where hip hop group The Throne, former A.N.D. member [[Esoteric]], producer Doc Dre, and singer [[Marilyn Jill]] were among the attendees. He was entombed in a mausoleum at {{W|Oak Hill Memorial Park}}, San Jose, Santa Clara.<br />
<br />
==Posthumous releases==<br />
===1998–1999: ''God Don't Make Mistakes''===<br />
In July 1998, less than a month after the rapper's death, the first posthumous song featuring Garner was released, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99C23Y8l5hU Natural Born Killaz]</span>" with Esoteric, and was the lead single for Esoteric's second studio album, ''The Recipe'' (1998). In September, Garner would be featured on the single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-VT8_2uuF4 Grand Finale]</span>" with KMP featuring Doc Dre and Roc Steady from his debut album, ''Separatin Da Real From Da Fake'' (1998), as well as the song "{{w|Give Up the Goods (Just Step)|Gimme Yours}}" from Mac-12's debut album ''Shootouts in San Francisco'' (1999), which also featured a guest appearance from Stunnah Tee. <br />
<br />
''God Don't Make Mistakes'' was the first posthumous album to be released from Nuwrld under Garner's estate and Interscope, and was the last with his creative input. The album featured previously unreleased material recorded in 1997 during the recording sessions of ''The World Is Yours''. At the time in April 1997, an early version of ''The World Is Yours'' would be leaked online in MP3 format, leading to Garner vaulting the recorded material to be released after ''The World Is Yours''. The title of the album is taken from the song of the same name, which Garner had planned to be the lead single and focus track for his forthcoming album before his demise. In early 1999, posthumous vocals for Garner would appear on Doc Dre's second studio album, ''2000'', on the track "{{W|Nas Is Like|'98 Summer Jam}}", which would later be released as a single. Dre would state in an interview with VOD that much of the material the producer and rapper had completed was either remixed and repurposed for his posthumous solo releases or was vaulted, with him being granted permission to use one of those vaulted tracks after writing a heart-felt letter to Garner's mother. <br />
<br />
Supported by singles "{{W|The Message (Nas song)|The Message}}" and "Undying Love", ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would be released on 24 September 1999. The album featured production from Garner himself, Doc Dre, H.E.S., and C-Side, as well as guest appearances from Immortal Keys, Roc Steady as well as The Throne, and Trick Gabbana. It debuted at number 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling over 470,000 copies in its first week of sales. ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would later be certified triple platinum in North America, making it Garner's third best-selling release behind ''Bastard'' and ''The World Is Yours''. Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.<br />
<br />
===2000–2001: ''Faith''===<br />
In November 2000, after more than a year of no new releases, Garner's estate revealed that his second posthumous project, ''Faith'', had been finished and Garner's long-time collaborator, Roc Steady, confirmed that it was just awaiting approval for samples. Unlike ''God Don't Make Mistakes'', the album's production was overseen by DJ and producer, Dave "Killa" Sean; producing entirely new instrumentals for numerous songs, adding new production to various original instrumentals and serving as the album's executive producer, alongside Garner's mother Caroll Garner. Other producers hired to create new music for the album were H.E.S., JMIV, Flav Bandz, Coolin' Kick, and Marty Stewart.<br />
<br />
In February 2001, Garner's estate confirmed that the lead singles from ''Faith'' would be released the following month. Three singles: "Blaze a 40" and "{{W|Runnin' from tha Police}}" in March, and "You Gotta Love It" in April. Before release, the album attracted significant controversy due to featuring guest appearances that many felt went against Garner's wishes, including East coast rapper King Rakeem being posthumously featured himself on the aforementioned "Runnin' from tha Police". The music video for "You Gotta Love It", recorded in 1996 while on the Thugged Out tour with the Throne, is noted as having been the only unreleased music video made by Garner before his death, and features additional archival footage due to the track's remixed production extending the original song. <br />
<br />
Released as a double-album, ''Faith'' would arrive on 2 June 2000, what would've been the rapper's 29th birthday. Upon release, ''Faith'' debuted at number three on the ''Sunset'' 100 with 380,000 units sold, making it Garner's fourth-consecutive top 10 album on the charts while breaking his three-album streak of topping the charts. Highly anticipated, it received mixed reviews on release though would later be certified platinum in 2005. <br />
<br />
In September 2001, Garner would be posthumously featured on Roc Steady's fourth album, ''Still R.O.C.'', on the track "Don't Trip". During an interview circuit following the album's release, Roc Steady revealed that it was recorded only days before Garner's death and that he had received permission to release it by Garner's estate in 1999.<br />
<br />
===2002–2003: ''400 Years'' and film===<br />
<br />
In June 2002, Garner's manager Chase Devon would appear in an interview with ''The Porciúncula Times'', stating that there would only be one more Genesys album and announcing the title to be ''400 Years''. Like ''Faith'', much of the album's material featured was remixed from its original state, with the album featuring more than twenty guest artists in collaboration. ''400 Years'' would also be the first posthumous release to featured verses being re-used from previously released songs, such as "Ridin High" featuring Smokey 2X which re-used the verse from "Survival of the Fittest" from Garner's 1995 album, ''Bastard''. The album's lead singles, "The Flyest" featuring Riverside-based rapper Fivvey, and "Rich And Black" featuring Killer Woo, would both be certified gold. A Sierran biographical drama film, titled ''[[Genesys (Film)|Genesys]]'', would premiere on 1 May, 2003, starring his cousin and actor Trevor "Tre" Garner. The film would receive received mixed reviews from critics, however would gross $33.1 million on a $10 million budget.<br />
<br />
''400 Years'' would be release on 23 May 2003, debuting at number six on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling 270,000 units in its first week and being certified platinum in 2008. The album stirred significant controversy over the various featured acts on the album which many felt went against Garner's original vision, leading to a boycott of sales which resulted in the album dropping from the charts after only three weeks. It would later re-appear on the charts in 2004, 2009, 2018 and in 2023.<br />
<br />
===2003–Present: ''Greatest Hits'' and anniversary releases===<br />
Despite ''400 Years'' being the last of Garner's posthumous studio releases, Nuwrld and Interscope would release a posthumous greatest hits compilation series over two-discs. The first disc, supported by the previously-unreleased single "What's The Word?" and a remix of "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" featuring Eminem, would be released on 5 December 2003. The first disc debuted at number two, selling more than 235,000 copies and later being certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA with sales of 4,355,250 being reported in 2008, thus making the release the second-highest of Garner's sales, behind ''The World Is Yours'', and has become his longest-running charting release with over 400 weeks being chronicled. <br />
<br />
The second disc, later being released on 2 June 2004, Garner's 33rd birthday, and preceded by the platinum-certified single "They Say", would top the ''Sunset'' 100 upon its release, selling 300,000 copies first week. It would later be certified double-platinum in 2010. Following the compilation series, Garner's contract with Interscope had ended. <br />
<br />
Garner was featured on "Incoming", the introductory track of Doc Dre's third studio album ''The Detox'', released on 21 April 2006. An untouched solo track since its original recording in 1994, the track was considered lost for many years before resurfacing, among other unreleased performances, through a number of tapes Dre hadn't touched in his basement since the 1990s. "Incoming" marked the first time that Garner and Doc Dre had collaborated on a song since "'98 Summer Jam", released more than five years prior.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Nuwrld would release the single "Black Velvet", an outtake from ''Progressive Youth'', in celebration of the album's 15th anniversary. It would later be included in the release of the ''Progressive Youth: 20th Anniversary'' box-set in 2013, which also included the previously-unreleased "550 Fahrenheit" among other rare performances. The re-issue would debut at number 71 on the ''Sunset 100''.<br />
<br />
In 2020, ''Bastard: 25th Anniversary'' would be released. Supported by the single "Park Lane", it would debut at number 65 on the ''Sunset'' 100. It would additionally feature unreleased collaborations from the ''Bastard'' sessions such as "The Game" with Zaa and Mac-12 and "In the Long Run" with Doc Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as packaging the non-album singles released from 1994 to 1996 and the instrumentals to the album's four major singles. A bonus DVD would be included in the release, featuring Garner's 1995 performance at Nimbus Park, Bernheim, while on the Thugged Out tour in 1995. The footage was a part of a behind-the-scenes series on the rapper at the time, with it being aired that year as a special for VOD. <br />
<br />
In 2022, a majority stake in Garner's rights and income streams was sold to Nova Music Productions in a reported nine-figure deal, according to ''Sierra Media'', with Nova now owning more than 90% of Garner's interest in master recording income and nearly 90% of his share of publishing ownership. In an email sent to ''Sunset'' by Nova CEO Jerry Heinz: <br />

==Controversy==<br />
===Legal issues===<br />
[[File:Garner leaving prison 1994.jpg|thumb|right|Garner leaving prison in July 1994.]]<br />
In 1987, Garner was arrested on gun and drug-related charges in Madera County, Santa Clara, by state troopers. After Garner was stopped by police after an hour-long pursuit for carjacking, authorities found a unregistered firearm and a backpack containing ounces of marijuana split accordingly for distribution. After an altercation between Garner and the police, he and another man named Travis Mullin, were arrested and taken to Madera County jail before being transferred to the county jail in San Jose county. Garner was charged for expired tags, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of marijuana. Garner would later be sentenced to three years of probation in 1989.<br />
<br />
Garner was present at the 1992 Porciúncula riots, where he would be arrested for rioting and later posting bond that same day.<br />
<br />
Garner would be imprisoned in March 1993 due to possession of a unregistered firearm after a drive-by shooting targeted him and he returned fire, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. <br />
<br />
In 1994, Garner would appear alongside the Sierran Civil Liberties Association in their 5-7 August march in Porciúncula for the implementation of affirmative action on university campuses. The following month, affirmative action would be struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in ''Perkins v. San Francisco'', which Garner said was "ignorant" in a 1996 ''RBS News'' interview. <br />
<br />
In 1996, while on the Thugged Out tour, Garner would be arrested and charged with battery for attacking a fan after they allegedly threw a bottle at him after the show, with the fan additionally seeking $3 million in damages. The charges would later be dropped and the case settled out of court.<br />

'''Nuwrld''', sometimes stylized in lower-case, is a Sierran record label founded in 1994 by Garner following the termination of his contract with The Prestige. Intended as a means for Garner to retain a significant portion of his royalties, the label would sign distribution contracts with Interscope Records that same year. <br />
<br />
Nuwrld's first act, the rap supergroup The Throne consisting of Garner himself and the rappers Zaa, Roc Steady, Killer Woo, and Mac-12 along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, would be signed to both collective and individual release contracts in 1995. In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana, being the first and only female rapper to sign to the label. In 1997, Garner would sign Riverside-based rapper Gemset and Porciúncula-based rapper KMP, being the last two artists to sign to the label before Garner's death. <br />

'''''Last Will & Testament''''' is the sixth studio album by [[Southwest Corridor|Corridor]] rapper [[Yung Nevabroke]]. Initially to be released on 15 November, 2024, it would be delayed and subsequently was commercially released in three installments by [[Sontune|SMG]] and L.B.C. on 22 November, 29 November, and 6 December, 2024, while the rapper is currently incarcerated awaiting trial for {{w|sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}}. It features extensive collaborations with the rapper's own L.B.C. label roster, including Rondo Gotti, Yung Bump, YNB Jamm, amongst others, and serves as Nevabroke's final album with Sontune Music Group. <br />
<br />
==Background and singles==<br />
A {{W|Double album#Triple album|triple album}}, the album's title would be initially announced after the release of "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7U5D_qTeD0 Act A Clown]</span>", a diss track against Joe Jordan and DJ Khaleel, on 23 February, 2024. <br />
<br />
The singles "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb0BaOrIBE Closed Case]</span>", "Hold Up" featuring Lil 80Kay and YNB Heemy, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVOGEcmyaHI 2024 Freestyle]</span>", "Never Ran" featuring YNB Cortlen, "Gang Baby" featuring Yung Bump, YNB Heemy and YNB Yungin, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iis_5y50Z8o No Time]</span>", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3H8LTIff7k Having My Way]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxMceFfFcg Slow Down]</span>" would be released throughout Spring 2024. Three promotional singles, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4myyqNi94Q My Pistol Out]</span>", "Unannounced" featuring Wheelinfourz and Yung Bump, "In The Box" featuring Rondo Gotti and YNB Jamm would issued but were not included on the album's later release.<br />
<br />
Two days after his arrest, on 6 November 2024, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Who They Want?]</span>" would be issued, being the last music video shot by the rapper before his arrest and would notably feature clips of him being arrested at his residency in [[Providencia, Gold Coast]]. This would prelude ''Volume 1'', which would be released on 22 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
"<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4g-KsDmRH4 Mind Destroys Matter]</span>", a remix of Mafia Mitch's 2012 single "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwEXXFQMTY Tears of Joy]</span>" and reportedly recorded by Nevabroke after learning about his arrest warrant on 31 October, would be released on [[Sierra Day]] 2024. ''Volume 2'' would be released two days later on 29 November, 2024.<br />
<br />
A music video for "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTYeMZGzOzw Missing Everything (I Need You)]</span>" would be released on 4 December, 2024, being shot sometime in August 2024 and preludes the release of ''Volume 3'' on 6 December, 2024. His management would later state the rapper had been facing death threats prior to his arrest and recorded the video in case he were to 'unexpectedly die from jealous haters'.<br />

'''Amari Dante Simons''' (born 31 October, 1995), known professionally as '''Yung Nevabroke''' is a Sierran rapper, singer, and songwriter from [[Riverside, Inland Empire]]. Simons is often cited as a pioneer of the lo–fi mumble rap genre in the mid-2010s, which began garnering mainstream attention and appeal from the media-sharing platform TuneBoard in 2014. <br />
<br />
Simons first gained attraction following the release of his collaborative mixtape with [[Lil Coast]], ''Savages'' in 2015, with major publications such as ''Sierra Media'' labeling the rappers as the "biggest underground act". Having signed previously with L.B.C. that year, he would go on to sign a four-album contract with [[Republic Records]] in July 2015. Simons would release his commercial mixtape, ''[[Waiting To Die]]'', on 18 September 2015. The mixtape debuted at number 28 on the KS ''Sunset'' 100 and would later be certified Gold while the singles from the tape, "{{W|223's|723's}}" and "{{W|Murder On My Mind}}", would be certified Gold and 2× Platinum respectively. <br />
<br />
After serving a short time incarcerated due to gun possession, Simons would release his debut album, ''[[Through The Storm]]'', on 12 August 2016. The album would debut at number 2 on the ''Sunset'' 100, with 3 of the 5 singles being Gold-certified or higher, including the Okonma East-assisted single, "{{W|Mixed Personalities (song)|Mixed Personalities}}", which would be certified 2× Platinum in Sierra and peak at number 4 on the singles chart. During this time, Simons would be involved with a rap feud involving Splash Godd, where he would release the diss track "{{W|Dead Trollz}}". Concurrent to the beef, on 3 January 2017, Simons would be arrested by federal agents prior to performing at a show for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges. While awaiting trial under federal imprisonment from 2017 to 2021, Simons would release his third mixtape ''[[Almost Time]]'' (2017), which debuted atop the charts and was certified Gold, and his second studio album ''[[Live At The Gates Of Hell]]'' on 23 March 2018, which was the rapper's second number-one commercial release, selling 108,000 album-equivalent copies and being certified Platinum while behind bars. <br />
<br />
On 26 June 2020, Simons' team would release EP ''[[Collect Call (Yung Nevabroke EP)|Collect Call]]''. On 21 November 2021, Simons would be found not guilty on all charges of racketeering, being released from prison. Simons released his third studio album, ''[[Calling My Spirit]]'', on 22 July 2022, selling 165,000 album-equivalent copies first week, being the rapper's third number-one album on the charts, and the rapper's highest-selling release. It would be his last record with Republic Records, with his fourth studio album, ''[[Until I Die]]'', being released on 21 April 2023 under L.B.C. and [[Sontune|Sontune Music Group]]. His fifth album, ''[[Back To Earth]]'', was released on 5 January 2024, debuting at number three to become the rapper's fifth KS top-10 album, while his sixth album, ''[[Last Will & Testament]]'', would be released over three installments following a delay from it's original 15 November release date, and concluding his contract with SMG. <br />
<br />
On 31 October 2024, an arrest warrant would be issued for Simons for {{W|Sexual assault|first-degree criminal sexual conduct}} in [[Laguna]] stemming from an incident in May 2023 while the rapper was on the ''Back in Season'' tour. He would be apprehended at [[Porciúncula International Airport]] on 4 November attempting to board a private jet to the [[Equatorial States]] and if convicted, faces up to 30 years in prison. <br />

'''Isaiah Joshua Garner''' (2 June 1971 – 9 June 1998), professionally known as '''Genesys''', was a [[Sierrans|Sierran]] rapper and producer. Garner is often recognized as having pioneered gangster rap and is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Much of Garner's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues in [[Styxie]], with much of his lyrics being semi-autobiographical and vividly depicting the violence of street life during and after the [[The Disturbances]].<br />
<br />
Born and raised in the Redwood Projects of [[San Jose, Santa Clara|San Jose]], [[Santa Clara]], Garner would join the rap group Armed 'N Dangerous (shortened to A.N.D.) at the age of 16. With the group, Garner would perform on the group's three releases, ''WWCD'' (1988), ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989), and ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991). Following his departure from the group in 1992 and an ongoing feud between himself and remaining members, namely Godsun, Garner would release his debut album, ''Progressive Youth'' (1993), to widespread critical acclaim and has later been regarded as one of the defining hip hop albums of the 1990s. The album's release, however, only further escalated the feud that led to public brawls and shootings. After the release of Garner's second solo album, ''Bastard'' (1995), he would become recognized as a mainstream figure in media and the hardcore rap subgenre. Finding individual success, he would form his own rap group [[The Throne]] with various local rappers from [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], and later performing on their debut release, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), to further acclaim. <br />
<br />
During the recording of his second and third albums, Genesys had become embroiled in a war with East coast rappers Rakeem Wallace, the Disciplez, among others in the [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. Following Wallace's death in a drive-by shooting in December 1997, speculations of involvement by Garner's involvement circulated around the world, leading to various attempts being made on his life in the following months. ''The World Is Yours'', a double album, was released on 17 April 1998. On 9 June, Garner would be killed in an armed robbery at his London hotel while on tour, with the four assailants remaining unidentified to this day. Posthumously, Garner's fourth studio album ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' (1999), would reach number one on the [[Sunset 100|''Sunset'' 100]]. His fifth album, ''Faith'', was released in September 2001 and peaked at number 3 on the ''Sunset'' 100. His sixth studio release and fourth posthumous, ''400 Years'' (2002), is said to be the rapper's final album. <br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Isaiah Joshua Garner was born on 2 June 1971 in San Jose, Santa Clara, to Jamaican parents. Garner's father, Darius Waters, was incarcerated only days following Garner's birth due to ties with the Sierran Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, and would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism, murder, robbery, and the distribution of illicit drugs such as cocaine and marijuana. As a result, Garner would spend his early years being raised by his mother, Caroll Garner, whom would later be arrested for attempted acts of domestic terrorism. Caroll Garner would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism and attempted murder, though would later be paroled and placed on house arrest as part of the 1986 No Mother Left Behind Act. Following his mother's arrest, Garner would be raised by his grandmother, Aniyah Garner, in the Redwood projects. <br />
<br />
Isaiah Garner attended West Redwood High School until he dropped out in the ninth grade. He described himself as a "misfit" during that time, citing how quiet he was and regularly being involved in physical confrontations. At the age of 14, Garner would be kicked out of his grandmother's residence, moving constantly and supporting himself mainly by selling drugs. Garner would later state in an interview with ''Sierra Media'' that he was introduced to crime at a young age, and was a member of the East Redwood Crip gang. Garner's music manager Dwayne Ricardo recalls seeing Garner selling marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines prior to rapping, and during his initial musical career, was labeled as a "thug". Ricardo explains: "The hood where he grew up was a dangerous place. He was a small guy. 'Thug' was a role that was widely understood on the street; it gave you a certain level of protection in the sense that people hesitated to fuck with you. Likewise, 'dope dealer' was a role that accorded you certain privileges and respect."<br />
<br />
==Musical career==<br />
===1987–1991: Early career and A.N.D.===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1988.jpg|thumb|right|Garner in the music video for "It Feels Good" from A.N.D's debut album, ''WWCD'', released in 1988.]]<br />
In June 1987, at age 17, Garner had went by the stage name Nasty G and formed his first group with Cubano and MC Murdah known as the Microphone Murderers. By July, the group had expanded to include other childhood friends of Garner, namely Godsun and Esoteric. The group's first release, a self-titled demo tape hosted by DJ Blazin', would lead to local popularity and the group re-branding as Armed N' Dangerous (A.N.D.). By October, through their manager Keon Tyler, the group would secure a recording contract with The Prestige, a San Jose-native record label that had previously hosted numerous minor hip hop acts in Styxie. Following Cubano's death a day later in a drive-by shooting, the group would dedicate their debut album to their fallen friend, titling their debut release ''WWCD'' ("What Would Cubano Do?") in memorial. ''WWCD'' would be released in April 1988, and with the instant hit single such as "It Feels Good (To Be A Gangsta)", the group and it's individual members would be elevated to regional popularity. <br />
<br />
Not feeling constricted to racially charged political issues pioneered by rap artists such as Shock Brigade or Jump Dance Productions, A.N.D. favored themes exploring grim descriptions of violence and inner-city turmoil while composed of uncompromising lyrics. Propelled by the hit "{{W|Fuck tha Police}}", the group's first full album ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989) became a major success, despite an almost complete absence of radio airplay or major concert tours. The Office of Bureaucratic and Internal Affairs sent The Prestige a warning letter in response to the song's content, in addition to policemen refusing to provide security for the group's concerts, diminished plans for lengthy tours. Nonetheless, the OBIA's letter only served to draw more publicity to the group, with their third album, ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991), continuing to push their success to new heights.<br />
<br />
===1992–1993: ''Progressive Youth'' and incarceration===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1993.jpg|thumb|Genesys performing in 1993.]]<br />
Following the release of ''Redwood Shooters'' and its supporting tour, on 2 February 1992, Garner would leave A.N.D. citing financial disputes. Despite being held in limbo for a month, he would remain signed to The Prestige. Beginning in March, Garner started recording his debut album at Dungeon studios in [[Porciúncula]], [[Gold Coast]], with production duo Chop & Chord. The first tracks recorded in these sessions include the album's less radio-friendly content (including "Stomp Em Out", "{{W|Shook Ones (song)|25 To Life}}", and "{{W|Shook Ones (Part II)|Shook Ones}}" featuring Stunnah Tee), which ''La Brea Times'' described as an "higher-pitched" Garner sounding "hungry and bitter". At the same time, Garner would record guest appearances for Doc Dre's landmark record, ''The Chronic'' (1992), being featured on the single "{{w|Bitches Ain't Shit}}" alongside Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as "High Power" and "Deeez Nuuuts". After a brief incarceration for possession of an illegal firearm, stalling the album's production, Garner returned to the studio in November with "smoother, more confident vocals" and completed the album. In this stage, the more commercial-sounding tracks of the album were recorded with DJ Tone Love, including the album's second single "{{W|Hit It from the Back|Like Dat}}" featuring Lord Subliminal, which debuted at number 23 on the ''Sunset'' Rap chart. <br />
<br />
In 1993, Garner's debut studio album, ''Progressive Youth'', was released. It featured production from Garner himself, Chop & Chord, Pedro Wreck, DJ Tone Love and Kilo Klick, as well as guest appearances from Lord Subliminal, Stunnah Tee, and rap group Oakalona Boyz. The album debuted at 20 on the ''Sunset'' album chart, being certified gold within five months of release. In 2020, ''Progressive Youth'' was hailed by ''Rolling Rock'' as one of the 200 Greatest Debut Rap Albums of All Time.<br />
<br />
Despite claiming not having made any references to his former group, the release of "Shook Ones" was perceived by A.N.D. as subliminally dissing them, with members Godsun and MC Murder dissing Garner in response on numerous tracks from the group's fourth album released a month later, ''Appetite for Destruction'', escalating the feud. Between A.N.D. and Garner, the feud would reach a breaking point when on 11 February 1993, during a venue show headlined by A.N.D.-affiliate Jay Flavor in Porciúncula, Garner was reportedly in the across the street doing a local radio interview. After being notified of Garner's location prior to the show, Flavor and his entourage would reportedly ask the venue owners for a "20 minute delay" due to the Flavor "feeling a bit ill". Flavor and his entourage would then walk across the street, entering the station. Anthony Malken, a member of Flavor's entourage, would allegedly flash a gun to the receptionist, leading them to bring the crew to the recording room. According to rapper Stunnah Tee, who was present at the interview, upon entering Flavor would say, 'What's up?', leading to an immediate brawl before would security rush in. Stunnah Tee would recall, "They grabbed [Garner] and said, 'This isn't the place.', and then we ran out the back before the police arrived."<br />
<br />
On 6 March 1993, Garner would be targeted in a drive-by shooting in Porciúncula as he was leaving a Chess Pizza restaurant with security. The shooting would lead to Garner being shot twice, as well as two members of his entourage being injured. Despite making a full recovery months later, Garner would be imprisoned due to his possession of a unregistered firearm at the time of the shooting, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. During his incarceration, Garner would be featured on "Takeover (Free Him out tha Pen)" by Lord Subliminal for his self-titled LP, with him rapping an extra verse expressing his hope for the artist's security and freedom.<br />
<br />
===1994–1995: ''Bastard'', The Throne, and feuds===<br />
{{Main|Bastard (Genesys album)|l1=Bastard}}<br />
Shortly after his release from prison, Garner's recording contract with The Prestige would be terminated, with the rapper later expressing that the label wanted more commercial music "akin to Doc Dre's ''The Chronic''" instead of his own creative vision. Being able to retain his masters from his previous album, Garner would establish his own record label, Nuwrld, under the distribution network of {{W|Interscope}}. Double Deuce CEO Metro Dimes would later state that he had made the connection for the rapper at the time, due to Double Deuce being under their own contract with Interscope. In response to being dropped, Garner would release the single "{{W|I Gave You Power}}", which metaphorically depicted the rapper as a gun while simultaneously dissing The Prestige and their CEO, James Canden. Garner would later join the Doc Dre and Double Deuce's ''Viewer Discretion Advised'' 1994 tour from August to October as a co-headlining act; at the same time, Garner began writing material for his second studio album, which was given a slated release for Summer 1995. <br />
<br />
In November 1994, recording would begin for Garner's second album, then known as ''Growing Pains''. Garner originally wanted to record a semi-biographical trilogy of records, with the first entry reportedly being his debut album ''Progressive Youth'', however, he would ultimately find himself unsatisfied with the work produced, leading it to being scrapped. Later that month, Garner would record music over a four-day period at Dungeon recording studio in Porciúncula with producers Doc Dre and Big Dolla. While they had supposedly recorded over three hours of material, only one song from these sessions would make the final cut, being "{{W|Halftime (song)|Halftime}}". Garner would also record verses for Immortal Key's album ''Every Dogg has his Day'', released the following year. He would be featured on the third single, "Murder 4 Hire", as well as the track "Shot Clock Shooters". <br />
[[File:The Throne without Genesys collage.png|thumb|400px|The Throne (minus Genesys, left to right): Zaa, Killer Woo, H.E.S., [[Roc Steady]], C-Side, MAC-12.]]<br />
After performing at the 1994 Bernheim New Year's Eve Concert, Garner would start recording in Bernheim in January 1995 after being inspired by the neighborhoods him and his entourage would drive by, reminding him of San Jose. Initially scheduled for two-weeks, Garner would travel to The Cave music venue to witness the nightly activity of rap battles that had become popularized a year prior. After being impressed by the numerous acts present, Garner would form the rap group The Throne with rappers Zaa, Killer Woo, [[Roc Steady]], and MAC-12, along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, signing them to Genesys' newly-formed record label under Interscope, nuwrld. With The Throne, Genesys would spend an additional two months recording in Bernheim, working on his solo album and what would later become The Throne's debut album, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), at the same time.<br />
<br />
Originally named ''Street Dreams'', ''[[Bastard (Genesys album)|Bastard]]'' arrived on 23 June 1995. The album was remarkedly short compared to his previous release, being only ten tracks. It was preceded by three singles, "{{W|N.Y. State of Mind|L.A. State of Mind}}", "{{W|Life's a Bitch (song)|Life's a Bitch}}", and "{{W|Survival of the Fittest (song)|Survival of the Fittest}}"; a fourth single, "{{W|Triumph (song)|Triumph}}", would be released following the album's success. In contrast to the political messages Garner had rapped about previously, the album shows Garner being engulfed into the gangsta lifestyle. With simple yet stark production, the album featured more gritty and dark ballads detailing the street life: its hardships and its successes. Music journalist Daniel Godenan noted that Garner, once released from prison, became more aggressive, and "seemed like a completely transformed artist". The album debuted at No. 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100 and sold 322,000 units in its first week, setting a then-record for highest first-week sales for a solo male rapper, later being certified 4× Platinum and regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Upon its release, the album would attract controversy due to featuring disses aimed at King Rakeem, the Disciplez, A.N.D, and B Monie, escalating the bubbling [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. <br />
<br />
The Throne's debut album, ''T.H.U.G. (Truly Humbled Under God)'', would be released on 10 November 1995, through Nuwrld and Interscope, debuting at number nine on the ''Sunset'' 100 and placing second om the Top Rap Albums, shipping 125,000 units. It went on to sell 1.2 million copies in North America receiving Platinum certification status by the RIAA in 1997. The singles, "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" and {{W|Hail Mary (2Pac song)|Hail Mary}}", were both certified gold the following year. Following the release of the ''T.H.U.G.'', Garner and the Throne would embark on the Thugged Out Tour beginning in December 1995 and ending in April 1996. <br />
===1996–1998: ''The World is Yours'' and final recordings===<br />
In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana to Nuwrld. That same year, the label would host the release of Roc Steady's debut release, ''Meet The Roc'', which Garner executively produced and guest featured on the lead single, "Drop a Gem on 'Em", a response and diss track to the Disciplez 1996 single, "L.A. L.A."; he would also be featured on the track "W.C.K. (West Coast Killaz)". In May, Garner would release two non-album singles, "Every Day Gun Play", which debuted at number 8 on the Rap chart, and "{{W|Front Lines (Hell on Earth)|Hell on Earth}}" featuring Roc Steady, which debuted at number 6. On 9 August, associates of the Disciplez would attend one of The Throne's concerts in Porciúncula, leading to a brawl where two people were killed and twenty were injured. After the end of the tour circuit, in late 1996, Garner would confirm in an interview with ''[[RBS News]]'' that he had begun work on his album, revealing the working title to be ''Executive Decisions'' and stated he had been in collaboration with long-time collaborator Doc Dre. <br />
[[File:Standard the world is yours cover.jpg|thumb|Album cover for Genesys' third studio album, ''The World Is Yours'', released in 1998.]]<br />
In 1997, Garner would be featured on lead single "Mob Ties" by Roc Steady, Zaa, and H.E.S. as part of their collaborative album, ''47th and Kings''. He would also be featured on the remix of "Affirmative Action" by Trick Gabbana from the deluxe edition of her debut album, ''Trick Trick'', alongside Mac-12; and "{{W|Love Is All We Need}}" by Brook Lynn from her album ''See My World''. Garner would make later guest appearances on Zaa's debut album ''Murda Muzik'', released through Nuwrld, on the tracks "Album Intro" and "La Familia" alongside Trick Gabbana and Mac-12; and "{{W|Fast Life (Kool G Rap song)|Fast Life}}" by Ysuah from his album ''Incarcerated Scarfaces''. Garner would make his individual return to the charts with the release of two singles: "{{W|Never Be the Same Again (Ghostface Killah song)|Things You Put Me Through}}" featuring R&B singer Trey D and Mac-12, and "{{W|U.S.A. (Aiight Then)|Street Kingz}}" featuring Roc Steady and Killer Woo. Both would debut within the top 10 of the Rap singles chart, with the rapper announcing the title for the album, ''The World Is Yours'', revealing the cover and the release date. He would release the next two singles, "{{W|If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)|The World Is Yours (Imagine That)}}" featuring Marilyn Jill, and "{{W|Got Ur Self a Gun|Get Yourself A Gun}}", in December.<br />
<br />
After the release of Hovah's ''The Blueprint'' (1997) and diss track "{{W|Takeover (song)|Conquer and Control}}" gaining substantial traction due to the rapper claiming to be the "King of the West", Garner would respond in January 1998 with the release of the album's fifth and sixth singles, "L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. II" and the diss-track "{{W|Ether}}". On the day "Ether" was released, Hovah and his entourage visited a Bernheim club where the DJ started to play the intro to the song. Both men told the DJ not to do so, allegedly threatening his life, but he refused the request and played it anyway. Fellow rapper Ysuah, also present in the club that night, cited this – along with the rapturous response of the club attendees once the song was eventually played – as a major turning point in the feud and a sign that Garner would emerge victorious: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text="...the club was going up, and that’s when I knew it was over. The DJ was like, 'Fuck that,' and played that shit. And the club went up. That’s when I knew Genesys won. The streets had spoken. The DJ played it and Hov' was in the building […] Genesys beat Hov'."<br />
}}<br />
After a month delay due to mixing, ''The World Is Yours'' would be released as a double-album on 27 March 1998. With 22 tracks on the standard edition, it would be the longest album released by Garner, and would top the ''Sunset'' 100 album chart, selling 471,000 copies in its opening week and being certified gold only two weeks after release. The album was recorded in various studios throughout the Kingdom of Sierra, featuring several high-profile producers and guest appearances from members of the Throne (both individually and as a group), Trick Gabbana, Morisse, KMP, Trey D, Marilyn Jill, Doc Dre, and Kidd G. Upon release, ''The World Is Yours'' received instant critical acclaim, and it has been ranked by critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time, being consistently ranked in the top 200 on Rolling Rock's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2016 with shipments of over 6 million copies, with each disc in the double album counted as a separate unit for certification. <br />
<br />
In April 1998, Garner would release the music video for the album's seventh single, "I Ain't Running (Come Get Me)". That same month, he would embark on a tour for the album with Zaa, Roc Steady, H.E.S. and Trick Gabbana, beginning with a European leg throughout early summer before returning to North America for the remainder of the year.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
[[File:Genesys killers.jpg|thumb|Still image captured of the moment the robbers entered through the back-entrance of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}}, London, [[United Kingdom]].]]<br />
On 9 June 1998, Garner was renting a room out of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}} in London, [[United Kingdom]], while on a 24-show European tour in support of his double-album, ''The World Is Yours''. After performing at {{W|London Arena|Docklands Arena}} from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Garner would attend a concert after-party before returning to the hotel around 11:15 p.m. At around 2:50 a.m., four hooded men would enter the hotel through an unlocked back-entrance door. Despite initial footage showing them unarmed and unmasked upon entering the elevator, all would be wearing ski masks while two wielded handguns upon their exit on the tenth floor. They would then break into the room by breaking off the lock with a hammer. <br />
<br />
Once they accessed his room, they reportedly held a gun to his head, tying his hands with duct tape and using it as a gag. While tied to a chair, Garner would wriggle his hands before attempting to seize a gun from one of the burglars, leading to him being shot twelve times in the torso, neck, left arm, and right leg. It would be revealed that the thieves had stolen a number of his gold and diamond jewelry before running away from the room and exiting through a fire escape. Despite security footage documenting the break-in and exit, no convictions were ever made for Genesys' death.<br />
===Funeral===<br />
An open casket service for Garner took place in his native San Jose, [[Santa Clara]], on 16 June 1998, where fans were allowed to pay their respects. His private funeral took place on 18 June, where hip hop group The Throne, former A.N.D. member [[Esoteric]], producer Doc Dre, and singer [[Marilyn Jill]] were among the attendees. He was entombed in a mausoleum at {{W|Oak Hill Memorial Park}}, San Jose, Santa Clara.<br />
<br />
==Posthumous releases==<br />
===1998–1999: ''God Don't Make Mistakes''===<br />
In July 1998, less than a month after the rapper's death, the first posthumous song featuring Garner was released, "{{W|Natural Born Killaz}}" with Esoteric, and was the lead single for Esoteric's second studio album, ''The Recipe'' (1998). In September, Garner would be featured on the single "{{W|Grand Finale (song)|Grand Finale}}" with KMP featuring Doc Dre and Roc Steady from his debut album, ''Separatin Da Real From Da Fake'' (1998), as well as the song "{{w|Give Up the Goods (Just Step)|Gimme Yours}}" from Mac-12's debut album ''Shootouts in San Francisco'' (1999), which also featured a guest appearance from Stunnah Tee. <br />
<br />
''God Don't Make Mistakes'' was the first posthumous album to be released from Nuwrld under Garner's estate and Interscope, and was the last with his creative input. The album featured previously unreleased material recorded in 1997 during the recording sessions of ''The World Is Yours''. At the time in April 1997, an early version of ''The World Is Yours'' would be leaked online in MP3 format, leading to Garner vaulting the recorded material to be released after ''The World Is Yours''. The title of the album is taken from the song of the same name, which Garner had planned to be the lead single and focus track for his forthcoming album before his demise. In early 1999, posthumous vocals for Garner would appear on Doc Dre's second studio album, ''2000'', on the track "{{W|Nas Is Like|'98 Summer Jam}}", which would later be released as a single. Dre would state in an interview with VOD that much of the material the producer and rapper had completed was either remixed and repurposed for his posthumous solo releases or was vaulted, with him being granted permission to use one of those vaulted tracks after writing a heart-felt letter to Garner's mother. <br />
<br />
Supported by singles "{{W|The Message (Nas song)|The Message}}" and "Undying Love", ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would be released on 24 September 1999. The album featured production from Garner himself, Doc Dre, H.E.S., and C-Side, as well as guest appearances from Immortal Keys, Roc Steady as well as The Throne, and Trick Gabbana. It debuted at number 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling over 470,000 copies in its first week of sales. ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would later be certified triple platinum in North America, making it Garner's third best-selling release behind ''Bastard'' and ''The World Is Yours''. Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.<br />
<br />
===2000–2001: ''Faith''===<br />
In November 2000, after more than a year of no new releases, Garner's estate revealed that his second posthumous project, ''Faith'', had been finished and Garner's long-time collaborator, Roc Steady, confirmed that it was just awaiting approval for samples. Unlike ''God Don't Make Mistakes'', the album's production was overseen by DJ and producer, Dave "Killa" Sean; producing entirely new instrumentals for numerous songs, adding new production to various original instrumentals and serving as the album's executive producer, alongside Garner's mother Caroll Garner. Other producers hired to create new music for the album were H.E.S., JMIV, Flav Bandz, Coolin' Kick, and Marty Stewart.<br />
<br />
In February 2001, Garner's estate confirmed that the lead singles from ''Faith'' would be released the following month. Three singles: "Blaze a 40" and "{{W|Runnin' from tha Police}}" in March, and "You Gotta Love It" in April. Before release, the album attracted significant controversy due to featuring guest appearances that many felt went against Garner's wishes, including East coast rapper King Rakeem being posthumously featured himself on the aforementioned "Runnin' from tha Police". The music video for "You Gotta Love It", recorded in 1996 while on the Thugged Out tour with the Throne, is noted as having been the only unreleased music video made by Garner before his death, and features additional archival footage due to the track's remixed production extending the original song. <br />
<br />
Released as a double-album, ''Faith'' would arrive on 2 June 2000, what would've been the rapper's 29th birthday. Upon release, ''Faith'' debuted at number three on the ''Sunset'' 100 with 380,000 units sold, making it Garner's fourth-consecutive top 10 album on the charts while breaking his three-album streak of topping the charts. Highly anticipated, it received mixed reviews on release though would later be certified platinum in 2005. <br />
<br />
In September 2001, Garner would be posthumously featured on Roc Steady's fourth album, ''Still R.O.C.'', on the track "Don't Trip". During an interview circuit following the album's release, Roc Steady revealed that it was recorded only days before Garner's death and that he had received permission to release it by Garner's estate in 1999.<br />
<br />
===2002–2003: ''400 Years''===<br />
<br />
In June 2002, Garner's manager Chase Devon would appear in an interview with ''The Porciúncula Times'', stating that there would only be one more Genesys album and announcing the title to be ''400 Years''. Like ''Faith'', much of the album's material featured was remixed from its original state, with the album featuring more than twenty guest artists in collaboration. ''400 Years'' would also be the first posthumous release to featured verses being re-used from previously released songs, such as "Ridin High" featuring Smokey 2X which re-used the verse from "Survival of the Fittest" from Garner's 1995 album, ''Bastard''. The album's lead singles, "The Flyest" featuring Riverside-based rapper Fivvey, and "Rich And Black" featuring Killer Woo, would both be certified gold. <br />
<br />
''400 Years'' would be release on 23 May 2003, debuting at number six on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling 270,000 units in its first week and being certified platinum in 2008. The album stirred significant controversy over the various featured acts on the album which many felt went against Garner's original vision, leading to a boycott of sales which resulted in the album dropping from the charts after only three weeks. It would later re-appear on the charts in 2004.<br />
<br />
===2003–Present: ''Greatest Hits'' and anniversary releases===<br />
Despite ''400 Years'' being the last of Garner's posthumous studio releases, Nuwrld and Interscope would release a posthumous greatest hits compilation series over two-discs. The first disc, supported by the previously-unreleased single "What's The Word?" and a remix of "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" featuring Eminem, would be released on 5 December 2003. The first disc debuted at number two, selling more than 235,000 copies and later being certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA with sales of 4,355,250 being reported in 2008, thus making the release the second-highest of Garner's sales, behind ''The World Is Yours'', and has become his longest-running charting release with over 400 weeks being chronicled. <br />
<br />
The second disc, later being released on 2 June 2004, Garner's 33rd birthday, and preceded by the platinum-certified single "They Say", would top the ''Sunset'' 100 upon its release, selling 300,000 copies first week. It would later be certified double-platinum in 2010. Following the compilation series, Garner's contract with Interscope had ended. <br />
<br />
Garner was featured on "Incoming", the introductory track of Doc Dre's third studio album ''The Detox'', released on 21 April 2006. An untouched solo track since its original recording in 1994, the track was considered lost for many years before resurfacing, among other unreleased performances, through a number of tapes Dre hadn't touched in his basement since the 1990s. "Incoming" marked the first time that Garner and Doc Dre had collaborated on a song since "'98 Summer Jam", released more than five years prior.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Nuwrld would release the single "Black Velvet", an outtake from ''Progressive Youth'', in celebration of the album's 15th anniversary. It would later be included in the release of the ''Progressive Youth: 20th Anniversary'' box-set in 2013, which also included the previously-unreleased "550 Fahrenheit" among other rare performances. The re-issue would debut at number 71 on the ''Sunset 100''.<br />
<br />
In 2020, ''Bastard: 25th Anniversary'' would be released. Supported by the single "Park Lane", it would debut at number 65 on the ''Sunset'' 100. It would additionally feature unreleased collaborations from the ''Bastard'' sessions such as "The Game" with Zaa and Mac-12 and "In the Long Run" with Doc Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as packaging the non-album singles released from 1994 to 1996 and the instrumentals to the album's four major singles. A bonus DVD would be included in the release, featuring Garner's 1995 performance at Nimbus Park, Bernheim, while on the Thugged Out tour in 1995. The footage was a part of a behind-the-scenes series on the rapper at the time, with it being aired that year as a special for VOD. <br />
<br />
In 2022, a majority stake in Garner's rights and income streams was sold to Nova Music Productions in a reported nine-figure deal, according to ''Sierra Media'', with Nova now owning more than 90% of Garner's interest in master recording income and nearly 90% of his share of publishing ownership. In an email sent to ''Sunset'' by Nova CEO Jerry Heinz: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text=“To represent the body of work of Genesys – whose cultural significance, continued relevance, and generational influence can't be overstated – is an honor and a responsibility.”<br />
}}<br />
In 2023, the previously-unreleased song "New World", which was reportedly lost and part of Dre's re-discovery of old tapes, would be released as the single to the 25th anniversary boxset of ''The World Is Yours'', expected in late 2023. It would be the first single since 2004's "They Say" to chart on the ''Sunset'' rap singles, peaking at number 88.<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
===Legal issues===<br />
[[File:Garner leaving prison 1994.jpg|thumb|right|Garner leaving prison in July 1994.]]<br />
In 1987, Garner was arrested on gun and drug-related charges in Madera County, Santa Clara, by state troopers. After Garner was stopped by police after an hour-long pursuit for carjacking, authorities found a unregistered firearm and a backpack containing ounces of marijuana split accordingly for distribution. After an altercation between Garner and the police, he and another man named Travis Mullin, were arrested and taken to Madera County jail before being transferred to the county jail in San Jose county. Garner was charged for expired tags, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of marijuana. Garner would later be sentenced to three years of probation in 1989.<br />
<br />
Garner was present at the 1992 Porciúncula riots, where he would be arrested for rioting and later posting bond that same day.<br />
<br />
Garner would be imprisoned in March 1993 due to possession of a unregistered firearm after a drive-by shooting targeted him and he returned fire, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. <br />
<br />
In 1994, Garner would appear alongside the Sierran Civil Liberties Association in their 5-7 August march in Porciúncula for the implementation of affirmative action on university campuses. The following month, affirmative action would be struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in ''Perkins v. San Francisco'', which Garner said was "ignorant" in a 1996 ''RBS News'' interview. <br />
<br />
In 1996, while on the Thugged Out tour, Garner would be arrested and charged with battery for attacking a fan after they allegedly threw a bottle at him after the show, with the fan additionally seeking $3 million in damages. The charges would later be dropped and the case settled out of court.<br />

<br />
'''Nuwrld''', sometimes stylized in lower-case, is a Sierran record label founded in 1994 by Garner following the termination of his contract with The Prestige. Intended as a means for Garner to retain a significant portion of his royalties, the label would sign distribution contracts with Interscope Records that same year. <br />
<br />
Nuwrld's first act, the rap supergroup The Throne consisting of Garner himself and the rappers Zaa, Roc Steady, Killer Woo, and Mac-12 along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, would be signed to both collective and individual release contracts in 1995. In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana, being the first and only female rapper to sign to the label. In 1997, Garner would sign Riverside-based rapper Gemset and Porciúncula-based rapper KMP, being the last two artists to sign to the label before Garner's death. <br />

'''''Faith''''' is the fifth studio album and second posthumous album by the late Sierran rapper [[Genesys]]. It is his second and last double-album. It was released on 2 June, 2000, on what would have been his 29th birthday and less than two years after his death, debuting at number three on the KS ''Sunset'' 100. It features guest appearances from Donald Leslie, King Rakeem, Morisse, D. Celli, Zaa, Gemset, Mo Beezy, Lil Jeremi, [[Roc Steady]], B Monie, [[Big Frank]], Cashady and Immortal Keys.<br />
<br />
It would be supported by six singles: "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qi2ZT8ckVE Street Dreams, Pt. II]</span>" featuring D. Celli, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iydQnLgjI0 Blaze a 40]</span>", "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuJBzHQQfA I Really Want to Show You]</span>" featuring King Rakeem, Morisse and D. Celli, "Sierran Way" featuring Trick Gabbana, "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAUBuGjSFy4 All I Need]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rriy-vUxNxw Play On Playa]</span>" featuring Immortal Keys.<br />
==Background and release==<br />
In January 2000, [[Porciúncula]]-based rapper and collaborator Immortal Keys would have an interview with ''[[Sunset 100|Sunset]]'', with Genesys being brought up and the rapper elaborating on his recording process:<br />
{{Quote<br />
|text="You know he told me, and it kind of bothered me because I never heard nobody say this before. He said, "Keys like, I got- I have albums for when I die." He told me that, and it was shocking to me, you know? But I understood it, and now I know I have albums for when I pass, because thats all I do is record, this is an art- we have a passion for rapping."<br />
}}<br />
The album is the first of two albums (the second being ''400 Years'') that consists of a remixed collection of previously unreleased material, which was primarily handled by DJ and producer Dave "Killa" Sean, alongside Garner's mother Caroll Garner, with additional production provided by JMIV, Flav Bandz, Marty Stewart, DJ Phonke, the Wizzrd and Doc Dre, while certain songs maintain their original production by H.E.S. It includes "Street Dreams, Pt. II" featuring R&B singer D. Celli, with the song have been previously released in 1996 but hadn't been issued on a studio release. Other songs include "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuJBzHQQfA I Really Want to Show You]</span>" featuring King Rakeem, D. Celli and background vocals from Morisse, with Rakeem's inclusion being of notable controversy due to both spear-heading the [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]] which led to their respective deaths. The song's existence is entirely a posthumous production, with both Rakeem and Genesys' vocals being spliced into a new song, though both estates would respectively announce the song in collaboration alongside Immortal Keys, with the rapper stating that "Kids around the world are watching. By calling a truce, we're giving them something to live for". <br />

'''Isaiah Joshua Garner''' (2 June 1971 – 9 June 1998), professionally known as '''Genesys''', was a [[Sierrans|Sierran]] rapper and producer. Garner is often recognized as having pioneered gangster rap and is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Much of Garner's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues in [[Styxie]], with much of his lyrics being semi-autobiographical and vividly depicting the violence of street life during and after the [[The Disturbances]].<br />
<br />
Born and raised in the Redwood Projects of [[San Jose, Santa Clara|San Jose]], [[Santa Clara]], Garner would join the rap group Armed 'N Dangerous (shortened to A.N.D.) at the age of 16. With the group, Garner would perform on the group's three releases, ''WWCD'' (1988), ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989), and ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991). Following his departure from the group in 1992 and an ongoing feud between himself and remaining members, namely Godsun, Garner would release his debut album, ''Progressive Youth'' (1993), to widespread critical acclaim and has later been regarded as one of the defining hip hop albums of the 1990s. The album's release, however, only further escalated the feud that led to public brawls and shootings. After the release of Garner's second solo album, ''Bastard'' (1995), he would become recognized as a mainstream figure in media and the hardcore rap subgenre. Finding individual success, he would form his own rap group [[The Throne]] with various local rappers from [[Bernheim, San Joaquin]], and later performing on their debut release, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), to further acclaim. <br />
<br />
During the recording of his second and third albums, Genesys had become embroiled in a war with East coast rappers Rakeem Wallace, the Disciplez, among others in the [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. Following Wallace's death in a drive-by shooting in December 1997, speculations of involvement by Garner's involvement circulated around the world, leading to various attempts being made on his life in the following months. ''The World Is Yours'', a double album, was released on 17 April 1998. On 9 June, Garner would be killed in an armed robbery at his London hotel while on tour, with the four assailants remaining unidentified to this day. Posthumously, Garner's fourth studio album ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' (1999), would reach number one on the [[Sunset 100|''Sunset'' 100]]. His fifth album, ''Faith'', was released in September 2001 and peaked at number 3 on the ''Sunset'' 100. His sixth studio release and fourth posthumous, ''400 Years'' (2002), is said to be the rapper's final album. <br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Isaiah Joshua Garner was born on 2 June 1971 in San Jose, Santa Clara, to Jamaican parents. Garner's father, Darius Waters, was incarcerated only days following Garner's birth due to ties with the Sierran Liberation Army, a terrorist organization, and would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism, murder, robbery, and the distribution of illicit drugs such as cocaine and marijuana. As a result, Garner would spend his early years being raised by his mother, Caroll Garner, whom would later be arrested for attempted acts of domestic terrorism. Caroll Garner would later be sentenced to life in prison for domestic terrorism and attempted murder, though would later be paroled and placed on house arrest as part of the 1986 No Mother Left Behind Act. Following his mother's arrest, Garner would be raised by his grandmother, Aniyah Garner, in the Redwood projects. <br />
<br />
Isaiah Garner attended West Redwood High School until he dropped out in the ninth grade. He described himself as a "misfit" during that time, citing how quiet he was and regularly being involved in physical confrontations. At the age of 14, Garner would be kicked out of his grandmother's residence, moving constantly and supporting himself mainly by selling drugs. Garner would later state in an interview with ''Sierra Media'' that he was introduced to crime at a young age, and was a member of the East Redwood Crip gang. Garner's music manager Dwayne Ricardo recalls seeing Garner selling marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines prior to rapping, and during his initial musical career, was labeled as a "thug". Ricardo explains: "The hood where he grew up was a dangerous place. He was a small guy. 'Thug' was a role that was widely understood on the street; it gave you a certain level of protection in the sense that people hesitated to fuck with you. Likewise, 'dope dealer' was a role that accorded you certain privileges and respect."<br />
<br />
==Musical career==<br />
===1987–1991: Early career and A.N.D.===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1988.jpg|thumb|right|Garner in the music video for "It Feels Good" from A.N.D's debut album, ''WWCD'', released in 1988.]]<br />
In June 1987, at age 17, Garner had went by the stage name Nasty G and formed his first group with Cubano and MC Murdah known as the Microphone Murderers. By July, the group had expanded to include other childhood friends of Garner, namely Godsun and Esoteric. The group's first release, a self-titled demo tape hosted by DJ Blazin', would lead to local popularity and the group re-branding as Armed N' Dangerous (A.N.D.). By October, through their manager Keon Tyler, the group would secure a recording contract with The Prestige, a San Jose-native record label that had previously hosted numerous minor hip hop acts in Styxie. Following Cubano's death a day later in a drive-by shooting, the group would dedicate their debut album to their fallen friend, titling their debut release ''WWCD'' ("What Would Cubano Do?") in memorial. ''WWCD'' would be released in April 1988, and with the instant hit single such as "It Feels Good (To Be A Gangsta)", the group and it's individual members would be elevated to regional popularity. <br />
<br />
Not feeling constricted to racially charged political issues pioneered by rap artists such as Shock Brigade or Jump Dance Productions, A.N.D. favored themes exploring grim descriptions of violence and inner-city turmoil while composed of uncompromising lyrics. Propelled by the hit "{{W|Fuck tha Police}}", the group's first full album ''Straight Outta Styxie'' (1989) became a major success, despite an almost complete absence of radio airplay or major concert tours. The Office of Bureaucratic and Internal Affairs sent The Prestige a warning letter in response to the song's content, in addition to policemen refusing to provide security for the group's concerts, diminished plans for lengthy tours. Nonetheless, the OBIA's letter only served to draw more publicity to the group, with their third album, ''Redwood Shooters'' (1991), continuing to push their success to new heights.<br />
<br />
===1992–1993: ''Progressive Youth'' and incarceration===<br />
[[File:Genesys 1993.jpg|thumb|Genesys performing in 1993.]]<br />
Following the release of ''Redwood Shooters'' and its supporting tour, on 2 February 1992, Garner would leave A.N.D. citing financial disputes. Despite being held in limbo for a month, he would remain signed to The Prestige. Beginning in March, Garner started recording his debut album at Dungeon studios in [[Porciúncula]], [[Gold Coast]], with production duo Chop & Chord. The first tracks recorded in these sessions include the album's less radio-friendly content (including "Stomp Em Out", "{{W|Shook Ones (song)|25 To Life}}", and "{{W|Shook Ones (Part II)|Shook Ones}}" featuring Stunnah Tee), which ''La Brea Times'' described as an "higher-pitched" Garner sounding "hungry and bitter". At the same time, Garner would record guest appearances for Doc Dre's landmark record, ''The Chronic'' (1992), being featured on the single "{{w|Bitches Ain't Shit}}" alongside Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as "High Power" and "Deeez Nuuuts". After a brief incarceration for possession of an illegal firearm, stalling the album's production, Garner returned to the studio in November with "smoother, more confident vocals" and completed the album. In this stage, the more commercial-sounding tracks of the album were recorded with DJ Tone Love, including the album's second single "{{W|Hit It from the Back|Like Dat}}" featuring Lord Subliminal, which debuted at number 23 on the ''Sunset'' Rap chart. <br />
<br />
In 1993, Garner's debut studio album, ''Progressive Youth'', was released. It featured production from Garner himself, Chop & Chord, Pedro Wreck, DJ Tone Love and Kilo Klick, as well as guest appearances from Lord Subliminal, Stunnah Tee, and rap group Oakalona Boyz. The album debuted at 20 on the ''Sunset'' album chart, being certified gold within five months of release. In 2020, ''Progressive Youth'' was hailed by ''Rolling Rock'' as one of the 200 Greatest Debut Rap Albums of All Time.<br />
<br />
Despite claiming not having made any references to his former group, the release of "Shook Ones" was perceived by A.N.D. as subliminally dissing them, with members Godsun and MC Murder dissing Garner in response on numerous tracks from the group's fourth album released a month later, ''Appetite for Destruction'', escalating the feud. Between A.N.D. and Garner, the feud would reach a breaking point when on 11 February 1993, during a venue show headlined by A.N.D.-affiliate Jay Flavor in Porciúncula, Garner was reportedly in the across the street doing a local radio interview. After being notified of Garner's location prior to the show, Flavor and his entourage would reportedly ask the venue owners for a "20 minute delay" due to the Flavor "feeling a bit ill". Flavor and his entourage would then walk across the street, entering the station. Anthony Malken, a member of Flavor's entourage, would allegedly flash a gun to the receptionist, leading them to bring the crew to the recording room. According to rapper Stunnah Tee, who was present at the interview, upon entering Flavor would say, 'What's up?', leading to an immediate brawl before would security rush in. Stunnah Tee would recall, "They grabbed [Garner] and said, 'This isn't the place.', and then we ran out the back before the police arrived."<br />
<br />
On 6 March 1993, Garner would be targeted in a drive-by shooting in Porciúncula as he was leaving a Chess Pizza restaurant with security. The shooting would lead to Garner being shot twice, as well as two members of his entourage being injured. Despite making a full recovery months later, Garner would be imprisoned due to his possession of a unregistered firearm at the time of the shooting, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. During his incarceration, Garner would be featured on "Takeover (Free Him out tha Pen)" by Lord Subliminal for his self-titled LP, with him rapping an extra verse expressing his hope for the artist's security and freedom.<br />
<br />
===1994–1995: ''Bastard'', The Throne, and feuds===<br />
{{Main|Bastard (Genesys album)|l1=Bastard}}<br />
Shortly after his release from prison, Garner's recording contract with The Prestige would be terminated, with the rapper later expressing that the label wanted more commercial music "akin to Doc Dre's ''The Chronic''" instead of his own creative vision. Being able to retain his masters from his previous album, Garner would establish his own record label, Nuwrld, under the distribution network of {{W|Interscope}}. Double Deuce CEO Metro Dimes would later state that he had made the connection for the rapper at the time, due to Double Deuce being under their own contract with Interscope. In response to being dropped, Garner would release the single "{{W|I Gave You Power}}", which metaphorically depicted the rapper as a gun while simultaneously dissing The Prestige and their CEO, James Canden. Garner would later join the Doc Dre and Double Deuce's ''Viewer Discretion Advised'' 1994 tour from August to October as a co-headlining act; at the same time, Garner began writing material for his second studio album, which was given a slated release for Summer 1995. <br />
<br />
In November 1994, recording would begin for Garner's second album, then known as ''Growing Pains''. Garner originally wanted to record a semi-biographical trilogy of records, with the first entry reportedly being his debut album ''Progressive Youth'', however, he would ultimately find himself unsatisfied with the work produced, leading it to being scrapped. Later that month, Garner would record music over a four-day period at Dungeon recording studio in Porciúncula with producers Doc Dre and Big Dolla. While they had supposedly recorded over three hours of material, only one song from these sessions would make the final cut, being "{{W|Halftime (song)|Halftime}}". Garner would also record verses for Immortal Key's album ''Every Dogg has his Day'', released the following year. He would be featured on the third single, "Murder 4 Hire", as well as the track "Shot Clock Shooters". <br />
[[File:The Throne without Genesys collage.png|thumb|400px|The Throne (minus Genesys, left to right): Zaa, Killer Woo, H.E.S., [[Roc Steady]], C-Side, MAC-12.]]<br />
After performing at the 1994 Bernheim New Year's Eve Concert, Garner would start recording in Bernheim in January 1995 after being inspired by the neighborhoods him and his entourage would drive by, reminding him of San Jose. Initially scheduled for two-weeks, Garner would travel to The Cave music venue to witness the nightly activity of rap battles that had become popularized a year prior. After being impressed by the numerous acts present, Garner would form the rap group The Throne with rappers Zaa, Killer Woo, [[Roc Steady]], and MAC-12, along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, signing them to Genesys' newly-formed record label under Interscope, nuwrld. With The Throne, Genesys would spend an additional two months recording in Bernheim, working on his solo album and what would later become The Throne's debut album, ''Truly Humbled Under God'' (1995), at the same time.<br />
<br />
Originally named ''Street Dreams'', ''[[Bastard (Genesys album)|Bastard]]'' arrived on 23 June 1995. The album was remarkedly short compared to his previous release, being only ten tracks. It was preceded by three singles, "{{W|N.Y. State of Mind|L.A. State of Mind}}", "{{W|Life's a Bitch (song)|Life's a Bitch}}", and "{{W|Survival of the Fittest (song)|Survival of the Fittest}}"; a fourth single, "{{W|Triumph (song)|Triumph}}", would be released following the album's success. In contrast to the political messages Garner had rapped about previously, the album shows Garner being engulfed into the gangsta lifestyle. With simple yet stark production, the album featured more gritty and dark ballads detailing the street life: its hardships and its successes. Music journalist Daniel Godenan noted that Garner, once released from prison, became more aggressive, and "seemed like a completely transformed artist". The album debuted at No. 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100 and sold 322,000 units in its first week, setting a then-record for highest first-week sales for a solo male rapper, later being certified 4× Platinum and regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Upon its release, the album would attract controversy due to featuring disses aimed at King Rakeem, the Disciplez, A.N.D, and B Monie, escalating the bubbling [[East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry]]. <br />
<br />
The Throne's debut album, ''T.H.U.G. (Truly Humbled Under God)'', would be released on 10 November 1995, through Nuwrld and Interscope, debuting at number nine on the ''Sunset'' 100 and placing second om the Top Rap Albums, shipping 125,000 units. It went on to sell 1.2 million copies in North America receiving Platinum certification status by the RIAA in 1997. The singles, "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" and {{W|Hail Mary (2Pac song)|Hail Mary}}", were both certified gold the following year. Following the release of the ''T.H.U.G.'', Garner and the Throne would embark on the Thugged Out Tour beginning in December 1995 and ending in April 1996. <br />
===1996–1998: ''The World is Yours'' and final recordings===<br />
In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana to Nuwrld. That same year, the label would host the release of Roc Steady's debut release, ''Meet The Roc'', which Garner executively produced and guest featured on the lead single, "Drop a Gem on 'Em", a response and diss track to the Disciplez 1996 single, "L.A. L.A."; he would also be featured on the track "W.C.K. (West Coast Killaz)". In May, Garner would release two non-album singles, "Every Day Gun Play", which debuted at number 8 on the Rap chart, and "{{W|Front Lines (Hell on Earth)|Hell on Earth}}" featuring Roc Steady, which debuted at number 6. On 9 August, associates of the Disciplez would attend one of The Throne's concerts in Porciúncula, leading to a brawl where two people were killed and twenty were injured. After the end of the tour circuit, in late 1996, Garner would confirm in an interview with ''[[RBS News]]'' that he had begun work on his album, revealing the working title to be ''Executive Decisions'' and stated he had been in collaboration with long-time collaborator Doc Dre. <br />
[[File:Standard the world is yours cover.jpg|thumb|Album cover for Genesys' third studio album, ''The World Is Yours'', released in 1998.]]<br />
In 1997, Garner would be featured on lead single "Mob Ties" by Roc Steady, Zaa, and H.E.S. as part of their collaborative album, ''47th and Kings''. He would also be featured on the remix of "Affirmative Action" by Trick Gabbana from the deluxe edition of her debut album, ''Trick Trick'', alongside Mac-12; and "{{W|Love Is All We Need}}" by Brook Lynn from her album ''See My World''. Garner would make later guest appearances on Zaa's debut album ''Murda Muzik'', released through Nuwrld, on the tracks "Album Intro" and "La Familia" alongside Trick Gabbana and Mac-12; and "{{W|Fast Life (Kool G Rap song)|Fast Life}}" by Ysuah from his album ''Incarcerated Scarfaces''. Garner would make his individual return to the charts with the release of two singles: "{{W|Never Be the Same Again (Ghostface Killah song)|Things You Put Me Through}}" featuring R&B singer Trey D and Mac-12, and "{{W|U.S.A. (Aiight Then)|Street Kingz}}" featuring Roc Steady and Killer Woo. Both would debut within the top 10 of the Rap singles chart, with the rapper announcing the title for the album, ''The World Is Yours'', revealing the cover and the release date. He would release the next two singles, "{{W|If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)|The World Is Yours (Imagine That)}}" featuring Marilyn Jill, and "{{W|Got Ur Self a Gun|Get Yourself A Gun}}", in December.<br />
<br />
After the release of Hovah's ''The Blueprint'' (1997) and diss track "{{W|Takeover (song)|Conquer and Control}}" gaining substantial traction due to the rapper claiming to be the "King of the West", Garner would respond in January 1998 with the release of the album's fifth and sixth singles, "L.A. State Of Mind, Pt. II" and the diss-track "{{W|Ether}}". On the day "Ether" was released, Hovah and his entourage visited a Bernheim club where the DJ started to play the intro to the song. Both men told the DJ not to do so, allegedly threatening his life, but he refused the request and played it anyway. Fellow rapper Ysuah, also present in the club that night, cited this – along with the rapturous response of the club attendees once the song was eventually played – as a major turning point in the feud and a sign that Garner would emerge victorious: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text="...the club was going up, and that’s when I knew it was over. The DJ was like, 'Fuck that,' and played that shit. And the club went up. That’s when I knew Genesys won. The streets had spoken. The DJ played it and Hov' was in the building […] Genesys beat Hov'."<br />
}}<br />
After a month delay due to mixing, ''The World Is Yours'' would be released as a double-album on 27 March 1998. With 22 tracks on the standard edition, it would be the longest album released by Garner, and would top the ''Sunset'' 100 album chart, selling 471,000 copies in its opening week and being certified gold only two weeks after release. The album was recorded in various studios throughout the Kingdom of Sierra, featuring several high-profile producers and guest appearances from members of the Throne (both individually and as a group), Trick Gabbana, Morisse, KMP, Trey D, Marilyn Jill, Doc Dre, and Kidd G. Upon release, ''The World Is Yours'' received instant critical acclaim, and it has been ranked by critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time, being consistently ranked in the top 200 on Rolling Rock's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2016 with shipments of over 6 million copies, with each disc in the double album counted as a separate unit for certification. <br />
<br />
In April 1998, Garner would release the music video for the album's seventh single, "I Ain't Running (Come Get Me)". That same month, he would embark on a tour for the album with Zaa, Roc Steady, H.E.S. and Trick Gabbana, beginning with a European leg throughout early summer before returning to North America for the remainder of the year.<br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
[[File:Genesys killers.jpg|thumb|Still image captured of the moment the robbers entered through the back-entrance of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}}, London, [[United Kingdom]].]]<br />
On 9 June 1998, Garner was renting a room out of the {{W|Great Eastern Hotel, London|Great Eastern Hotel}} in London, [[United Kingdom]], while on a 24-show European tour in support of his double-album, ''The World Is Yours''. After performing at {{W|London Arena|Docklands Arena}} from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Garner would attend a concert after-party before returning to the hotel around 11:15 p.m. At around 2:50 a.m., four hooded men would enter the hotel through an unlocked back-entrance door. Despite initial footage showing them unarmed and unmasked upon entering the elevator, all would be wearing ski masks while two wielded handguns upon their exit on the tenth floor. They would then break into the room by breaking off the lock with a hammer. <br />
<br />
Once they accessed his room, they reportedly held a gun to his head, tying his hands with duct tape and using it as a gag. While tied to a chair, Garner would wriggle his hands before attempting to seize a gun from one of the burglars, leading to him being shot twelve times in the torso, neck, left arm, and right leg. It would be revealed that the thieves had stolen a number of his gold and diamond jewelry before running away from the room and exiting through a fire escape. Despite security footage documenting the break-in and exit, no convictions were ever made for Genesys' death.<br />
===Funeral===<br />
An open casket service for Garner took place in his native San Jose, [[Santa Clara]], on 16 June 1998, where fans were allowed to pay their respects. His private funeral took place on 18 June, where hip hop group The Throne, former A.N.D. member [[Esoteric]], producer Doc Dre, and singer [[Marilyn Jill]] were among the attendees. He was entombed in a mausoleum at {{W|Oak Hill Memorial Park}}, San Jose, Santa Clara.<br />
<br />
==Posthumous releases==<br />
===1998–1999: ''God Don't Make Mistakes''===<br />
In July 1998, less than a month after the rapper's death, the first posthumous song featuring Garner was released, "{{W|Natural Born Killaz}}" with Esoteric, and was the lead single for Esoteric's second studio album, ''The Recipe'' (1998). In September, Garner would be featured on the single "{{W|Grand Finale (song)|Grand Finale}}" with KMP featuring Doc Dre and Roc Steady from his debut album, ''Separatin Da Real From Da Fake'' (1998), as well as the song "{{w|Give Up the Goods (Just Step)|Gimme Yours}}" from Mac-12's debut album ''Shootouts in San Francisco'' (1999), which also featured a guest appearance from Stunnah Tee. <br />
<br />
''God Don't Make Mistakes'' was the first posthumous album to be released from Nuwrld under Garner's estate and Interscope, and was the last with his creative input. The album featured previously unreleased material recorded in 1997 during the recording sessions of ''The World Is Yours''. At the time in April 1997, an early version of ''The World Is Yours'' would be leaked online in MP3 format, leading to Garner vaulting the recorded material to be released after ''The World Is Yours''. The title of the album is taken from the song of the same name, which Garner had planned to be the lead single and focus track for his forthcoming album before his demise. In early 1999, posthumous vocals for Garner would appear on Doc Dre's second studio album, ''2000'', on the track "{{W|Nas Is Like|'98 Summer Jam}}", which would later be released as a single. Dre would state in an interview with VOD that much of the material the producer and rapper had completed was either remixed and repurposed for his posthumous solo releases or was vaulted, with him being granted permission to use one of those vaulted tracks after writing a heart-felt letter to Garner's mother. <br />
<br />
Supported by singles "{{W|The Message (Nas song)|The Message}}" and "Undying Love", ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would be released on 24 September 1999. The album featured production from Garner himself, Doc Dre, H.E.S., and C-Side, as well as guest appearances from Immortal Keys, Roc Steady as well as The Throne, and Trick Gabbana. It debuted at number 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling over 470,000 copies in its first week of sales. ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would later be certified triple platinum in North America, making it Garner's third best-selling release behind ''Bastard'' and ''The World Is Yours''. Upon its release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.<br />
<br />
===2000–2001: ''Faith''===<br />
In November 2000, after more than a year of no new releases, Garner's estate revealed that his second posthumous project, ''Faith'', had been finished and Garner's long-time collaborator, Roc Steady, confirmed that it was just awaiting approval for samples. Unlike ''God Don't Make Mistakes'', the album's production was overseen by DJ and producer, Dave "Killa" Sean; producing entirely new instrumentals for numerous songs, adding new production to various original instrumentals and serving as the album's executive producer, alongside Garner's mother Caroll Garner. Other producers hired to create new music for the album were H.E.S., JMIV, Flav Bandz, Coolin' Kick, and Marty Stewart.<br />
<br />
In February 2001, Garner's estate confirmed that the lead singles from ''Faith'' would be released the following month. Three singles: "Blaze a 40" and "{{W|Runnin' from tha Police}}" in March, and "You Gotta Love It" in April. Before release, the album attracted significant controversy due to featuring guest appearances that many felt went against Garner's wishes, including East coast rapper King Rakeem being posthumously featured himself on the aforementioned "Runnin' from tha Police". The music video for "You Gotta Love It", recorded in 1996 while on the Thugged Out tour with the Throne, is noted as having been the only unreleased music video made by Garner before his death, and features additional archival footage due to the track's remixed production extending the original song. <br />
<br />
Released as a double-album, ''Faith'' would arrive on 2 June 2000, what would've been the rapper's 29th birthday. Upon release, ''Faith'' debuted at number three on the ''Sunset'' 100 with 380,000 units sold, making it Garner's fourth-consecutive top 10 album on the charts while breaking his three-album streak of topping the charts. Highly anticipated, it received mixed reviews on release though would later be certified platinum in 2005. <br />
<br />
In September 2001, Garner would be posthumously featured on Roc Steady's fourth album, ''Still R.O.C.'', on the track "Don't Trip". During an interview circuit following the album's release, Roc Steady revealed that it was recorded only days before Garner's death and that he had received permission to release it by Garner's estate in 1999.<br />
<br />
===2002–2003: ''400 Years''===<br />
<br />
In June 2002, Garner's manager Chase Devon would appear in an interview with ''The Porciúncula Times'', stating that there would only be one more Genesys album and announcing the title to be ''400 Years''. Like ''Faith'', much of the album's material featured was remixed from its original state, with the album featuring more than twenty guest artists in collaboration. ''400 Years'' would also be the first posthumous release to featured verses being re-used from previously released songs, such as "Ridin High" featuring Smokey 2X which re-used the verse from "Survival of the Fittest" from Garner's 1995 album, ''Bastard''. The album's lead singles, "The Flyest" featuring Riverside-based rapper Fivvey, and "Rich And Black" featuring Killer Woo, would both be certified gold. <br />
<br />
''400 Years'' would be release on 23 May 2003, debuting at number six on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling 270,000 units in its first week and being certified platinum in 2008. The album stirred significant controversy over the various featured acts on the album which many felt went against Garner's original vision, leading to a boycott of sales which resulted in the album dropping from the charts after only three weeks. It would later re-appear on the charts in 2004.<br />
<br />
===2003–Present: ''Greatest Hits'' and anniversary releases===<br />
Despite ''400 Years'' being the last of Garner's posthumous studio releases, Nuwrld and Interscope would release a posthumous greatest hits compilation series over two-discs. The first disc, supported by the previously-unreleased single "What's The Word?" and a remix of "{{W|One Day at a Time (Em's Version)|One Day at a Time}}" featuring Eminem, would be released on 5 December 2003. The first disc debuted at number two, selling more than 235,000 copies and later being certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA with sales of 4,355,250 being reported in 2008, thus making the release the second-highest of Garner's sales, behind ''The World Is Yours'', and has become his longest-running charting release with over 400 weeks being chronicled. <br />
<br />
The second disc, later being released on 2 June 2004, Garner's 33rd birthday, and preceded by the platinum-certified single "They Say", would top the ''Sunset'' 100 upon its release, selling 300,000 copies first week. It would later be certified double-platinum in 2010. Following the compilation series, Garner's contract with Interscope had ended. <br />
<br />
Garner was featured on "Incoming", the introductory track of Doc Dre's third studio album ''The Detox'', released on 21 April 2006. An untouched solo track since its original recording in 1994, the track was considered lost for many years before resurfacing, among other unreleased performances, through a number of tapes Dre hadn't touched in his basement since the 1990s. "Incoming" marked the first time that Garner and Doc Dre had collaborated on a song since "'98 Summer Jam", released more than five years prior.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Nuwrld would release the single "Black Velvet", an outtake from ''Progressive Youth'', in celebration of the album's 15th anniversary. It would later be included in the release of the ''Progressive Youth: 20th Anniversary'' box-set in 2013, which also included the previously-unreleased "550 Fahrenheit" among other rare performances. The re-issue would debut at number 71 on the ''Sunset 100''.<br />
<br />
In 2020, ''Bastard: 25th Anniversary'' would be released. Supported by the single "Park Lane", it would debut at number 65 on the ''Sunset'' 100. It would additionally feature unreleased collaborations from the ''Bastard'' sessions such as "The Game" with Zaa and Mac-12 and "In the Long Run" with Doc Dre and Immortal Keys, as well as packaging the non-album singles released from 1994 to 1996 and the instrumentals to the album's four major singles. A bonus DVD would be included in the release, featuring Garner's 1995 performance at Nimbus Park, Bernheim, while on the Thugged Out tour in 1995. The footage was a part of a behind-the-scenes series on the rapper at the time, with it being aired that year as a special for VOD. <br />
<br />
In 2022, a majority stake in Garner's rights and income streams was sold to Nova Music Productions in a reported nine-figure deal, according to ''Sierra Media'', with Nova now owning more than 90% of Garner's interest in master recording income and nearly 90% of his share of publishing ownership. In an email sent to ''Sunset'' by Nova CEO Jerry Heinz: <br />
{{Quote<br />
|text=“To represent the body of work of Genesys – whose cultural significance, continued relevance, and generational influence can't be overstated – is an honor and a responsibility.”<br />
}}<br />
In 2023, the previously-unreleased song "New World", which was reportedly lost and part of Dre's re-discovery of old tapes, would be released as the single to the 25th anniversary boxset of ''The World Is Yours'', expected in late 2023. It would be the first single since 2004's "They Say" to chart on the ''Sunset'' rap singles, peaking at number 88.<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
===Legal issues===<br />
[[File:Garner leaving prison 1994.jpg|thumb|right|Garner leaving prison in July 1994.]]<br />
In 1987, Garner was arrested on gun and drug-related charges in Madera County, Santa Clara, by state troopers. After Garner was stopped by police after an hour-long pursuit for carjacking, authorities found a unregistered firearm and a backpack containing ounces of marijuana split accordingly for distribution. After an altercation between Garner and the police, he and another man named Travis Mullin, were arrested and taken to Madera County jail before being transferred to the county jail in San Jose county. Garner was charged for expired tags, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of marijuana. Garner would later be sentenced to three years of probation in 1989.<br />
<br />
Garner was present at the 1992 Porciúncula riots, where he would be arrested for rioting and later posting bond that same day.<br />
<br />
Garner would be imprisoned in March 1993 due to possession of a unregistered firearm after a drive-by shooting targeted him and he returned fire, being sentenced to serve 16 months in the Patria Correctional Facility from April 1993 to July 1994. <br />
<br />
In 1994, Garner would appear alongside the Sierran Civil Liberties Association in their 5-7 August march in Porciúncula for the implementation of affirmative action on university campuses. The following month, affirmative action would be struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in ''Perkins v. San Francisco'', which Garner said was "ignorant" in a 1996 ''RBS News'' interview. <br />
<br />
In 1996, while on the Thugged Out tour, Garner would be arrested and charged with battery for attacking a fan after they allegedly threw a bottle at him after the show, with the fan additionally seeking $3 million in damages. The charges would later be dropped and the case settled out of court.<br />

<br />
'''Nuwrld''', sometimes stylized in lower-case, is a Sierran record label founded in 1994 by Garner following the termination of his contract with The Prestige. Intended as a means for Garner to retain a significant portion of his royalties, the label would sign distribution contracts with Interscope Records that same year. <br />
<br />
Nuwrld's first act, the rap supergroup The Throne consisting of Garner himself and the rappers Zaa, Roc Steady, Killer Woo, and Mac-12 along with producers H.E.S. and C-Side, would be signed to both collective and individual release contracts in 1995. In early 1996, Garner would sign Reno City-based rapper Trick Gabbana, being the first and only female rapper to sign to the label. In 1997, Garner would sign Riverside-based rapper Gemset and Porciúncula-based rapper KMP, being the last two artists to sign to the label before Garner's death. <br />

'''''God Don't Make Mistakes''''' is the fourth studio album by Sierran rapper [[Genesys]]. It was posthumously released on 24 September, 1999 by [[O.P. Entertainment]] and the rapper's estate-owned Nuwrld.<br />
<br />
The album's material had been recorded entirely at Dungeon studios in [[Porciúncula]], with certain songs having been recorded as early as 1996. It was originally intended to be a label-based compilation album featuring many of the rapper's newest signees to his label such as Gemset and KMP, however with the rapper's unexpected death amidst the ''The World Is Yours'' tour in the [[United Kingdom]], the plan would be scrapped and instead, the already completed tracks would be compiled alongside demos which would be completed with guest appearances from members of The Throne (Zaa, Roc Steady, Killer Woo and MAC-12). <br />
<br />
Notably, on "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8XOf5F7kQk We Will Survive]</span>", the rapper references the recent deaths of Sierran rapper Dave Beamz and the Continental rappers OG Tracy, Mix Ministah and King Rakeem, with many critics noting the song for it's attempt to resolve issues arising following their demises. <br />
<br />
Two singles would support the album: "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3CGu0ezd68 The Message]</span>" and "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfN0bgTPrKU Undying Love]</span>", the former being initially previewed in the music video for "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlp-IIG9ApU The World Is Yours (Imagine That)]</span>". It debuted at number 1 on the ''Sunset'' 100, selling over 470,000 copies in its first week of sales. ''God Don't Make Mistakes'' would later be certified triple platinum in North America with sales exceeding 3 million copies. <br />
