RIO1
I AM A 27 YEAR OLD MAN WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN MY TIME HERE ON EARTH. GOD BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE TROUBLED TIMES SO THAT I COULD DO WHAT HE HAD PLANNED FOR ME. I GREW UP IN CHICAGO. JOINED A GANG AT 15 (THE BLACK MAFIA). SOLD DRUGS, USED DRUGS, AND WAS INVOLVED IN ALOT OF GUN PLAY. I WAS SHOT TWICE. ONE TIME I WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD AT POINT BLANK RANGE DIED AND CAME BACK. 1 YEAR LATER I WAS SHOT IN THE LEG WITH A 44. IT SHATTERED 2& A HALF INCHES OF MY BONE, WHICH PREVENTED ME FROM WALKING FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. I DIED THIS TIME ALSO FROM LOSS OF BLOOD. ONCE AGAIN GOD BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE DEAD. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IF TOU LISTEN TO MY HEART, WHICH IS MY MUSIC. IN MY MUSIC I TESTIFY AND LET LOST SOULS KNOW THAT GOD IS GOOD, THAT HE HAS A PLAN FOR ALL OF US, AND THAT ANYBODY CAN CHANGE NOMATTER WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH OR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. HIS ARMS ARE ALWAYS OPEN.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I'VE BEEN WORKING HARD TO BLOW UP FOR YEARS. DONE SEVERAL SHOWS. AND WORKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE. I HAVE LEARNED ALOT ABOUT THIS INDISTRY. THE LORD LET ME KNOW MY TIME HAS COME AND I AM READY.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
YES I PLAYED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS AT A COUNTRY BAR IN MADISON,WI AND THEY HAD OPEN MIC. THE PEOPLE I WAS WITH WANTED ME TO PERFORM. I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF THAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD NOT WANT TO HERE NO RAP MUSIC. I PERFORMED FOR THEM ANYWAY. THEIR REACTION WAS AMAZING. THEY LOVED IT. SEVERAL PEOPLE CAME UP TO ME AFTER THE PERFORMANCE AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE RAP MUSIC AT ALL. ALTHOUGH THEY LOVED MY PERFORMANCE AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUY MY CD. I HAD CHANGED THEIR OUTLOOK ON RAP ALTOGETHER.
