BIOGRAPHY
I was born and raised in Bessemer Alabama its about ten minutes south west outside of Birmingham. I spent most of my school days at McAdory, but had a few complications and finished at Jess Lanier High School. I grew up in a single parent home with my two brothers Jason and Eugene Riles. We spent a lot of time with our grandparents who always played blues records like B.B. King and Al Green. My love for music started when I was about 6 years old, my Aunt Pam started a group called the Little Riles Crew. It consisted of five of my cousins and my brother Jason. We went around Alabama doing positive rap, and competing in talent shows in the early nineties. Soon after I joined the children choir at Jerusalem Baptist Church and became one of the lead singers, and The little Riles Crew was now The Next Generation and consisted of Aunt Pam's three boys Myrius, Marcus, and Maurice. We where getting material ready for a big show in Mobile Al, and the day before I decided I wasn't going with them. On the way back my aunt fell asleep at the wheel and was ejected from the van and died at the Hospital. We told ourselves that her death was not going to be in vane and that we were going to continue doing music. Before she died Myrius started a group called Twisted Styles and encourage me to write my own rhymes. Once I found out I really had a talent for writing good music we recorded a momma song for our mother's and was blessed with the opportunity to preform it at her going home celebration. We continued to record music and made a few mix tapes, but didn't think we were going to become famous so after high school I joined the Marine Corps. While in I did three combat tours to Iraq and one to Afghanistan as a motor transport operator better known as Motor T. My passion for recording grew stronger, the more I saw, the more I wanted to be heard. Free styling over beats at a social gathering got the attention of the label owner Ars and he introduced me to his first cousin Marc Law who represents the other half of the label. They decided that I was apart of the family and welcomed me to join there movement after Marc Law won North Carolina's Hip Hop Artist of two thousand Eleven. I enjoy doing music for the people and if the people would listen it will be something to enjoy.
