 
RYDABOY-
 
Rydaboy was born in Newark, New Jersey. Moved throughout the different bureaus of Jersey up until he was 14. Due to drastic times calling for drastic measures his mother moved him and his siblings to North Carolina in hopes of leading him down a path not seen within the gritty streets of Newark. Being in the country was something that changed the perspective of Da Boy due to him not being able to utilize the people around him. He knew no one and had no resources for wrong-doing. Therefore he buckled down and chose to handle his studies, and basketball became apart of his life that stood out. Gaining knowledge beyond his known abilities made him start to write poetry at 16, after finding his mothers poetry book hidden in a locked suitcase under her bed. 2 years passed and his Step-Father was released from a bid in TX. His mother packed up everything and moved them there due to the picture that was drawn and the possible future for her aging child. Houston is where he landed when the dice actually hit the table. Once there he honed his skills on the pad and the court, writting poetic reviews and debates, and meeting his now good friend Joe Buck$. Not long after finishing his junior year of high school his mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lung cancer. This shook his world in ways that no one ever seen coming. His family gathered the scattered pieces and moved back to NC to be closer to her married family in her dying days. Rydaboy States: "I never thought of my poetry in lyric form until I moved back to NC and things started to fall apart even more. In my time in Houston, Joe was with a squad that laid some tracks which I thought was fresh but never tried it until I retuned there." In as little as 6 months his mother was broken down to the point where she couldn't correspond with the world around her. This scarred him to the point where school and life in general became miniscule. There was nothing more important to him and losing that branded him for life. He then chose to move back to Houston after finishing high school. His God-Mother took him under the same roof as Joe Buck$. Thats where he dropped his first verse and jaws dropped. Getting him on wax was mandatory. He was then led to see Joe's big cousin V, the leader of O.G.F.C. Rydaboy was immediately recruited. Under the wing of no one and grinding tooth and nail for studio time, he gained the aspect that "If you want some shit done you gon have to do it yaself yo, waitin on niggas aint suttin dats gon getchu where you tryna be." OGFC gathered enough money to drop a mixtape in Houston titled "Straight 2 da Streets", which Rydaboy saw not a cent off. There is no question about where the money went from that mixtape nor who has it. "Fuck it", says Rydaboy. He was called to move back to NC with his Step-Father to help with the raising of his younger siblings. Without hesitation he greyhounded his way there to aid his family. Hooking up with an old friend from high school who he used to drop rhymes with, Breeze, he started to drop solo tracks and saw that he was able to do it on his own. Breeze and Rydaboy collaborated on tracks yet to be heard by anyone. Rydaboy was then thrown to tha wolves by his own fam and moved to Nacogdoches, TX. He gave a copy of his mixtape dropped in Houston to a guy he barely knew named Johnathan(T Streetz) known throughout Nac as the infamous "Turtle". Johnathan spoke of his skills on the mic and they started to exchange lyrics. Freestyling in spare time and speaking of getting in the studio to make classic records was their daily hobby outside of grindin'. They then decided to find the nearest studio which happened to be D.M.S. Studios. JDodd saw the young talented MC's abilities and wanted to work with them right off the bat. They started to drop freestyles over other peoples beats and some T Streetz original takes. The quality was horrible and studio time started to become a problem so Rydaboy gathered the idea of "Let's make our own studio so we dont have to worry about needing somebody else to handle our bizz".
