First off Im Devante O.Raspberry Im from a small town in Tennessee called Lexington,TN where im kinda glad im away from because it aint nothing down there but fakeness and anybody thats from down there will tell you the same thing I mean the niggas and females I thought that was down with me dont even like me for what???Idk and really could careless now I mean because it's a reason why they aint in my future now its like i remeber how they used to be like ''Devante f*** rappin you'll never get no where with it'' and they knew that was my dream since the second grade but then again I do miss my family but on some real shhh they act like they dont like me neither so I do like my mama always told me and thats keep my head up and trust nobody but anyways im aka Mc Dizzle Oldest Of Three Born In Jackson,TN lived in both Jackson,TN and Lexington,TN all my life.I am the son of Shereffa Raspberry And Byron Mc Clerking Both Of Lexington,TN and I guess you could say they have a nice,wonderful,and talented son but I have three brothers in all and three sisters in all not all by the same mother but yes I love my family dearely and will do anything for them and that's basically how I got started with music.I started rapping around 8 or 9 when I was in third or fourth grade but I wasn't as serious with it as I am now,but then around 12 and 13 I started recognizing that I had a great and very delightful talent that I had to express to any/everyone so I fuguired I would get in the studio and start making songs.And thats just what happened I mean I was so happy on my first song to actually be able to put in a cd and hear myself rapping a neat and good song at my age and not even have to curse or use profanity thats good because there is a lot of people that can't and plus another reason why I started is because Im from a small town In Tennessee Called Lexington and there is not one thing to do down there but get in lots of trouble that aint even worth it but in my case I got in a lil trouble moved to Jackson,TN with my fellow cousins Trunetta[Tweety] And Quinton Atwater[Young Q of 105 ENT] and their the ones who actually put me in the booth and told me to let loose with everythang and thats what I did and started making songs back to back but then one day I met these other two cool,easy to get along with,well known rappers out of Jackson,TN and their names was Mychael Hunt[Cash Mike],Umar Abdul-Malik[Omega],Bradley Blackwell[BOOM],And Brelan Bell[Brelo Bell].And we were all in the studio one day just sittin there ''freestyling'' and we all looked at each other at once and was like we need to become a rap group and so we came up with''TOP RANK VIP'' which is the group that's doing their own thang and we doing what we gotta do to become number 1...but we also still do our own thing on the side sometimes but rite now we doing songs together,shows together,and just having fun also staying away from trouble..our myspace is www.myspace.com/officialtoprankvip in case you didn't know but yea thats basically all about me and yes we are working on a album thats coming out soon so be looking for it...thanks
