Doing Me

Rapper, lyricist, motivated dreamer, – are just a few of the words used to describe the talent that is Rich “Ammodaius” Cole.  Some have called him “hip hop’s answer to Trey Songz”, while others have compared his languid lyrics to Drake since Ammodaius possesses an uncanny ability to leave his every emotion directly on wax for listeners to make of it what they will.  Perhaps the best ways to describe Yungin and his journey are “motivated”, “survivor”, “hustler”, “ambitious”, and “dreamer”. How else could one describe his ability to escape the streets of Philadelphia, PA, and his share of violent scenarios? The dream of music is what kept him motivated, striving for more, even after losing his cousin at the tender age of 10.  It was in the dream of music that Rich Cole, aka Ammodaius, found himself and a means to escape the neighborhood he still loves.  “My cousin taught me that I could be anything I wanted to be; that the sky was the limit when it came to dreaming.  So, I don’t want to be just another rapper who makes hot tracks and then disappears. I’m not just about being an artist; it’s about a lifestyle, a brand, and eventually, an empire.” Ammodaius explains while discussing his ambitions in relation to music. “I’m a rapper, but I’m a business man”.  His lead project, entitled Loaded vol.1 is a combination of Ammodaius lust for the rap game, love of the business frame, and respect gained from life.  

Inspired by Jay Z, Kanye West, and Drake, raised by the streets of Philadelphia, and his parents, Ammodaius learned at a young age that being something meant he would have to work at it –whether it was struggling to maintain a roof over his head by legal and questionable means, or embarking on the journey that lead him to his current rap label -Network Entertainment- Ammodaius is all about the calculated risk. His intent for Star Element is to share that risk with his fans, by inviting them into a world where their dreams, hopes, and ambitions are still able to be attained, because he understands that the power in every one is Limitless potential that has yet to be unlocked.  It’s through his journey that he hopes to inspire others to passionately pursue their dreams and never accept the status quo when it comes to their end result.  After all, it’s not where you’ve been, but where you’re going.
