BIOGRAPHY
Chi Chi Cotton (Rapper CHI)
In 1984 July first, I was born and rise on the eastside of Chicago. Being taken away at birth by DCFS and put into a loving foster home. With several brothers and sisters I stood out the most. With my creativity and different approaches on life I became a man at an early age. Growing up around two brothers that rap day and night I pick up the talent and ran with it. I’m a proud father of one. I attended Northern University for three years than join the military. I enjoy music, writing, basketball, gymnastics, and spending quality time with family. Now with the skills our group developed over the past years we’re ready to bring a new sound to the game.
Reshard Smith (Producer & Rapper Fhat Boy)
In 1985 January 22, I was born and raised on the West side of Chicago, Cook County. I have been influence by music since I was at least 7 years old. Between listening to gospel, rap, and R&B I have come to my on conclusion of what type of music to bring to the world. The good and the bad, I hustle all my life for what I wanted some hustles were clean and some were just filthy. But, unlike hustling illegally my music is legit. There is no limit to the things I can do when it comes to orchestrating songs and that’s with the producing, thanks to GOD. This is not only an ultimate hustle it is my ultimate hustle. “Songs? I say to myself at times” are unselfish music and that what I make unselfish music.
I also enjoy playing basketball and writing movie ideas and scripts. I have this unique creative side that deserves to get unlock. It’s dropping an NBA Live 09 with Michael Jordan Locked. Everybody wants Mike on there team. But me I’m no Mike and don’t get me wrong when I say this because I’m not big headed and there’s no need for me to get that way but, I’m me. The #8 of recording and I attend on doing what Fhat Boy would do on the street in my music. And that is, take over!

I’m very intelligent and have lots of charisma. With my passion for music, and amazing swag I’m ready to have a big impact on the rap game.
