...pronounced rizzuh) is the driving force behind the group's eight-year rise from Staten Island's housing projects to a mini-entertainment conglomerate. He and his brother Mitchell Diggs, a.k.a.

Bush had sent his main man out of the bunker to turn up the heat. Al Gore, over in his bunker, acted like it tickled...
