1st DEGREE

Hooking up with RUSHMO productions in 1997 to produce his music sent a clear, positive, calculated message to the hood that 1st COME 1st SERVE. It didn’t matter if it is a backyard party, High school party, Hidden Valley Estates party, freestyle session, or just chillin in O’Fallon Hills, 1st Degree and the "HARD HITTAZS" was ready to put on a show, join a show, then eventually steal the show. 1st Degree is part of the Hip Hop/Rap group Hard Hittazs a.k.a. (Double H N***AS), which are comprised of individuals from the ATL, OK, TENN, and the MO. "Our music is all original, our flow is not comparable.

Yes, that's the only way to see if our *hit is hot or not. We do shows in Columbia at the college, clubs in St. Louis, rent halls and throw parties in the country...love it, can't get enough of it. One special moment was last year we won the St. Louis Apollo Night competition....

DMX, 2PAC (of course), Run DMC, Russell Simmons, Def Jam are influences...but on the real expect the unexpected when RushMO is on the stage.

You’ll see--you all--will see” Remember these words R-U-S-HM-O R-E-C-O-R-D-S.
