"There were many fun times, I'm glad I was there"
He started from very humble beginnings- In the garage at moms house(Oakland). Rapping over insturmentals with high school pals (OHS) Shamont Waters AKA Shamank The Stank & Heath Wallace BKA Hustla Heath.
Went to Chico State and was doing low budget demos off a dual tape deck sterio. The homies Dan/Will would bump the demos not knowing Dans older brother was a sick producer from the bay, and he would be going to school there. The demo was pass to Den and they meshed. It all started, they went to a party in Nord Gardens where the homie Big Heav was D.J.(1995) He had a mic and Ro-Lew had 1 song on mind "Why Do The Fat Hoes" it was kinda funny but real, the crowd was dancing like the D.J. mixed in a new record...
The light bulb lite.
At the time 94-95 There was no real notible hip-hop in the north-state (Chico)
They figured we could get paid for there talent. With figures all ready in place. Ro-Lew-Solo artist/Radio Personality/Producer/Announcer, Fatha & Cridic-Group, Side Show- Solo Artist/Group called O.N.E., Chef(Artis/Hype Man), Toe Bac solo artist-and various others Homies and Frat Brothers. The company was called Jump Out Entertainment. They were trailblazer in that area for that time "94-2000".They made as well as left a foot print in the northstate. Hip Hop is alive and well in the NorthState (O.N.E.M.O.B.B, Seanesy, Hemp C etc)because of the Contribution made by JumpOutEnt. There manager was TJ Love, who like taking walks in Bidwell park talking business, and smoking some of the most uuuuuuuuhhhhhhwwwwwwwweeeeeeee in the world.
Many, performances, front pages of local & regional magazines, which at that time no Rap acts had ever been on the front cover,and didn't have to pay. The Buzz was hot. It was back in the dayz, when Ro-Lew was a D.J. at K.Z.F.R. 90.1 Chico, 107.9 Redding (The radio Station was a tremendous resource for them) DJ Ro-Lew blast music as well as announce parties, record live from parties freestyle battles and more.
Who remembers parties thrown at The Oasis Bar & Grill.
Smoke Parties @ Nord Gardens & Trans Pacific.
Parties at the Womens Center-The Brick works-The Crazy Horse Salon-Club 319-AckerGym -The Bear-Various House Parties-Etc.
It was a NOSTALGIC Time please believe!!!!!
Ro-Lew didn't stop Rapping.
Enlisted in the military in 2000, Army to be exact.
All the way in 2nd ID Camp Hovey, Ro-Lew was able to find artist to record with, Dr. Doolittle-Pretty Poe- Hinstro-Track-etc. They were able to record a cd in the Barracks 34 songs called Dope Fiend Beats, online everywhere. Ro-Lew's second duty station was NTC and was able to hook up with artist like Baby Les-Par K-Tre K-Blanks etc. A cd was released called Dope Fiend Beat Radio, online everywhere.
Got out the military in 2003, and he started doing mixtape c.d.'s as the BootLegKing. At that same time he was getting into video clips doing various cameraman work down at Moses Music for Teeda Boy Productions. No record deals, just a love for the culture.
