AND WWW. SOUNDCLICK.COM/MS.RAW-----Ms. RAW, also known as Ritta A. Willis, was born in Lawton, OK. My mother is a native of Commanche County, OK., and (biological)father, a native of Gavelston, TX. The Dirty South, Mid-West, and West Coast flavor have always been influential in my life. Then I arrived in Norfolk, VA., and the East Coast had a flavor all its own... and I liked it! Now, coming from "the country", wasn't a big transition, just gettin paid was the primary mission. Hard knocks came and went for my mother and I, but... momma is a soilder, and watching her hustle and work so hard... tought me to "be everything but a quitter, begger, or a follower. Handle your business this lifetime." Realizing I had talants at many things, I (Ms.RAW) started writing poems and short stories at an early age, like 7, I wrote my first crazy poem. All through school I stayed consistant with my writing, kept a good-standing grade ( at least in English $ Literature), listened to 102.9 (especially weekends), and took care of "home". I just knew I'd get discovered by Teddy Riley (smile)..."Rumpshaker"..."Black Cop"..."Resonable Doubt"..."Makaveli"... workin', writin',, rhymin', grindin'... hittin a few booths inbetween. You all know the story, she met a guy, got married, had a baby, divorced, lol... In the end, I was blessed with a beautiful daughter to love forever, my heartbeat... and she loves to sing so watch out!-
Inbetween lifes struggles and paperchasin', I (Ms.RAW) managed, and held several well-paying positions (most not), in the cities where I traveled: Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Indiana, and California. In Los Angeles, where I had the chance to audition for casting calls, I was chosen for a few music video's, a lil extra cash while I'm visitin ya know. The set was so live when the camera's rolled! I was blessed with opportunities to meet, LL.Cool J, Treatch, Prodigy, Master P, M.L. Davis, Ron Hightower (it aint like that), Don D.C. Curry, Spanky Hayes, Snoop DoggCONTINUED: Xibit, Sir Jinks, Big Percy, Benzino(Ray), Silk, Dialated Peoples, and others who gave me encouragement to "Keep on Pushin". It was all possible through a mutual friend from BET who took Ms.RAW to the sets wit ha, Thanks OZ!! ***Special word to: Mrs Moore(VA.),*** Bishop Magic Don Juan (INT),*** Uncle Junebug (CA.) "wit dat good "fried catfish"*** and D.J.
