Biography
In 2005, he received national attention when fan Jeff Weise frequented Mars' website and forum before killing nine people.[5] Mars has stated on his website there was no link to Jeff whatsoever. In 2009, Mars received attention when it was learned that Mars' music was an influence on the music of horrorcore fan Richard Sam McCroskey, who allegedly killed four people.[3] McCroskey's MySpace page listed Mars as his favorite rapper, and Mars told law enforcement he had seen and signed autographs for McCroskey at various events before the murders.[6] From these events, he has been interviewed by several TV news outlets around the United States including CBS News, Fox News, ABC News, and CNN.[7][8][9]
Mars releases his music on Mad Insanity Records, including his most recent The Zodiac Mixtape Limited Edition (LP) on March 20th, 2012 .[10]
