Franconi grew up in Maui, Hawaii. As a young man he moved to New York City, where he met Michael Alig. Keoki was Alig's boyfriend as Alig rose to international fame as the head of "the Club Kids" gang, a group of diverse partygoers who would dress up in different costumes every night and form parties in New York and all over the United States. Franconi performed as a DJ during the parties. Often, he, Alig and other club members would catch a flight across the country just to attend "club" parties. Club members also included celebutante author James St. James - and Angel Melendez, who supplied the group with drugs.
DJ Keoki and Alig both developed expensive drug habits and began to grow apart. Alig's drug use caused him to become indebted to drug dealer Angel Melendez, whom he later killed, with the help of close friend Robert "Freeze" Riggs. Subsequently, Alig became a fugitive from the law, breaking all ties with Franconi.
Franconi went on to have a successful career as a musician during the 1990s, releasing a number of CDs over that decade. He still likes to dress extravagantly, wear makeup, and he sports a good number of tattoos.
He was portrayed by Wilmer Valderrama in "Party Monster", a biopic about Alig.
Jealousy
Keoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someday we will reunite
This is the shit that your baby loves too
Promise you that I'll make a baby with you
Make a momma of you
Ain't no dramo with you
My baby brings heat like a momma does too
I pay homage to you
And college for the babies
I'll ever move your momma to the Bahamas and maybe
I'll take you on the open road
You'll take me where the ocean goes
I'm getting cheesy on these jungle drums
I sound like Weezy on a million (a mili, a mili)
The money's coming and I know it but
The money doesn't have control of us
This is the shit, make your momma start cryin'
Not because she's sab, 'cause her baby's alright
Her baby's her pride, that baby's her life
And momma would break down if that baby did die
Rest in pieces, peace of mind
Someday we will reunite, again
Rest in pieces, peace of mind
I hope that we will reunite
(Break, break)
(Check, check, hey, hey, hey)
(Woah, woah)
Oh, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
If you go, momma, where do we go?
And if you go, momma, what do we lose?
If we leave, momma, when do we breathe?
How do we eat? Where do we sleep?
If you go, momma, where do we go?
If you move, momma, what do we do?
Momma how do we breathe?
And how do we eat?
Where do I go to sleep?
If you move, momma
Oh, no
Where am I gonna go?
I need to go home
I need to go home
I came to party but, they
They don't know when to stop
I came to party but, they
They don't know what she got
Like a whisper to me (like a whisper to me)
Rappers stay not caring (rappers stay not caring)
Thay be listenin' to me
I gotta get higher 'cause you're way up there
(Like a whisper to me, like a whisper to me)
In the song "Jealousy" by Keoki, the artist expresses his devotion and commitment to his partner, promising to make a family with her and move her mother to the Bahamas. He talks about the struggle and sacrifices that they would make together, where money would not have control over their lives. The chorus "Rest in pieces, peace of mind, someday we will reunite" implies that he wants to be with his partner forever, even after their death. The song paints a picture of a deep, unconditional love and affection, that would even make the partner's mother cry because of how well he takes care of her baby.
The lyrics in the song are emotional and heartfelt, with a strong focus on commitment and loyalty. The use of the phrase "rest in pieces" in the chorus is an interesting and unique way to show everlasting love and a desire to be reunited after death. The references to moving the partner's mother to the Bahamas and making a family with her are symbolic of a new beginning together. The song's tone is optimistic and positive, with a sense that together they can overcome any challenges in life.

The money's coming and I know it but
I am aware that wealth is on the way
The money doesn't have control of us
We won't let wealth consume and define us
This is the shit, make your momma start cryin'
This song is so good that it might even make your mother cry with happiness
Not because she's sab, 'cause her baby's alright
She won't be crying out of sadness or worry, but because she is happy that her child is doing well
Her baby's her pride, that baby's her life
Her child is her greatest source of love and pride
And momma would break down if that baby did die
If anything were to happen to her child, the mother would be devastated
If you go, momma, where do we go?
If you were to leave or pass away, we would feel lost and directionless
And if you go, momma, what do we lose?
If you left, we would lose our source of love, guidance, and support
If we leave, momma, when do we breathe?
If we were to go away, when would we ever feel like ourselves again?
How do we eat? Where do we sleep?
We would have to fend for ourselves without your care and support
If you move, momma, what do we do?
If you decided to relocate, we would have to adapt to a new environment without you
Momma how do we breathe?
How would we continue living without your presence and care?
And how do we eat?
How would we survive without your support?
Where do I go to sleep?
Where would I rest my head without you?
I came to party but, they
I came to enjoy myself but...
They don't know when to stop
...others do not know when to stop and control their behavior
They don't know what she got
They do not recognize the value and worth of the person I am with
Like a whisper to me (like a whisper to me)
You speak to me softly and delicately, like a whisper
Rappers stay not caring (rappers stay not caring)
Other rappers do not show the same level of care and concern in their music
Thay be listenin' to me
They listen to my music and are influenced by it
I gotta get higher 'cause you're way up there
I need to step up and improve myself to match your level of greatness
Woah, woah
An expression of surprise or excitement
Oh, no, no
An expression of worry or concern

Keoki is a fucking Legend
He’s a one man wrecking ball, he’s not a “they” (see video description)
He’s from a different era, before the internet, that’s probably why you can find certain tracks
I’ve been looking for ‘Inevitable Alien Nation’ for years before I finally wised up and checked SoundCloud
Keoki is still around, find him and give him some love, he helped pave the way for a fucking movement that changed my life, in more ways than I could ever type in a randomized m YouTube comment section
Yo Keoki, thanks for the good times homie, soundtrack to the best times of my life (and the craziest)
Much love my man
@TXGREASER1
Super star Dj keoki... he’s one killer dude... seen him a few times.. miss the old Days GOOD OL DAYs 90s - 00s Best times 👍🏼🎶
@avondalepartnersllp7894
I remember when I first brought the album...the Gold Edition from Best Buy. I never heard of him, but it looked interesting......I instantly fell in love. That is my beginning introduction into EDM.....I had fell off for years until I went on vacation in VA a few years ago. I met a guy, and fell back in love with EDM and remembered this first album I brought. This is the first time in probably 12 years I have heard this song and I am so greatful that it was made available here.
@JessicaAndCompany
I'm glad the upload made you feel that way~ (If we're sharing stories, which I'd love to hear everyone's, for me the disc was given to me by my sister when I was in middle school and this was all I ever listened to. It helped me through a tough time in my life.) I hope I'll be allowed to keep it hosted here especially since this account isn't for monetization or anything like that.
@avondalepartnersllp7894
