Cheka
Cheka (ЧК – чрезвыча́йная коми́ссия chrezvychaynaya komissiya, Emergency Committee, Russian pronunciation: [tɕɪˈka]) was the first of a succession of Soviet state security organizations. It was created on December 20, 1917, after a decree issued by Vladimir Lenin, and was subsequently led by Felix Dzerzhinsky, a Polish aristocrat turned communist. By late 1918, hundreds of Cheka committees had been created in various cities, at multiple levels including: oblast, guberniya ("Gubcheks"), raion, uyezd, and volost Chekas, with Raion and Volost Extraordinary Commissioners. Many thousands of dissidents, deserters, or other people were arrested, tortured or executed by various Cheka groups. After 1922, Cheka groups underwent a series of reorganizations, with the NKVD, into bodies whose members continued to be referred to as "Chekisty" (Chekists) into the late 1980s.
From its founding, being the military and security arm of the Bolshevik communist party, the Cheka was instrumental in the Red Terror. In 1921 the Troops for the Internal Defense of the Republic (a branch of the Cheka) numbered at least 200,000. These troops policed labor camps; ran the Gulag system; conducted requisitions of food; subjected political opponents to secret arrest, detention, torture and summary execution; and put down rebellions and riots by workers or peasants, and mutinies in the desertion-plagued Red Army.
Cheka (musician)
Cheka is a reggaeton artist from Guayama, Puerto Rico.
He was born in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, New York, where he lived 10 years until moving with his parents to Guayama, Puerto Rico, their native town. In the island he started singing with the hopes of reaching the top. His first opportunity was with DJ Playero with whom he recorded two songs. This led to the signing with Illegal Life Records which at the time was the record label of Baby Rasta & Gringo. This led to a formed alliance with the duo and various dance hits. Cheka collaborated on the re-release split album of Baby Rasta & Gringo's Sentenciados in 2005. In 2006 he released his first solo album entitled Sin Rivales. The album reached a peak of 15 on the Billboard charts and has had various hits such as "Si Tú Te Vas".

Sunburns
by: Shaky HandsYou left sunburns on my face
your love was bright
bright that day
How could this be
the place we're in
the waters in
we swim and swim
we swim and swim
And if I don't see
the way I should
Turn me around
And I promise I'll be good
Hello to you, these friends of mine
Here by this rock
we spend our time
You've learned so much
to jet again
Well all you need babe, is a friend
You are a friend
And if I don't say
the things I should
Turn them around
And I promise they'll be good
Take from this place
all you could need
like a sparrow flies
with it's wings
To other states
or country of mine
How could this feel
feel so fine
it feels so fine
And if I don't see
the way I should
Turn me around
And I promise I'll be good
And if I don't say
the things I should
Turn them around
And I promise they'll be good
Have I said this too much?
Have you heard enough?
Well I'd like to stay here
In my mind, out in nowhere
