DJ WILL MONEY HAS BEEN IN THE MUSIC GAME FOR OVER A DECADE. HE FIRST STARTED OUT DOING PERSONAL CUSTOM MIXTAPES FOR FRIENDS. HE WOULD ADD LOCAL ARTIST FROM HIS HOMETOWN OF CINCINNATI,OHIO ON THE MIXTAPES SOMETIMES AS WELL. BUSINESS WAS VERY LUCRATIVE. WILL MONEY DECIDED THAT MAYBE HE COULD CAPITALIZE EVEN MORE IF HE STARTED A RECORD LABEL. SINCE HE WAS FEATURING ARTISTS ON HIS CUSTOM MIXTAPES HE FIGURED WHY NOT HELP OTHER ARTIST AND GET PAID IN THE PROCESS.WILL MONEY STARTED A LABEL NAMED RAW STREET RECORDS WITH HIS FRIEND RANDY AKA R-DUBB. WILL MONEY EXPLAINED WHY HE NAMED THE LABEL RAW STREET "I WANTED TO PROMOTE MUSIC FROM HUNGRY MC'S. THE MUSIC WAS COMPLETELY RAW.NOT COMMERCIAL BY ANY MEANS. I WANTED ARTISTS THAT EXPRESSED THEMSELVES HONESTLY.." RAW STREET'S FIRST GROUP WAS NORTH SQUAD. THE SQUAD WAS A VERY TALENTED GROUP. THEIR MUSIC WAS TRULY RAW. THEIR SINGLE "WHERE YA BLOCK AT" WAS IN ROTATION AT THE LOCAL RADIO STATION WIZFM FOR MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME FOUNDING MEMBER OF RAW STREET RECORDS,R-DUBB DECIDED THAT RUNNING A LABEL WAS NOT HIS PASSION. SO HE STEPPED DOWN AS CO-CEO AND LEFT THE LABEL. WILL MONEY WAS DISSAPPOINTED THAT HIS PARTNER HAD DECIDED TO LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LABELS GREAT SUCCESS. WILL MONEY DECIDED TO BRING ON HIS BUDDY AT THE TIME, RON AKA FIGARO AND MADE HIM CO-CEO OF THE LABEL. RAW STREET RECORDS EVENTUALLY LANDED A DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH COLUMBIA RECORDS. EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING GOOD UNTIL...THE FALLOUT.RAW STREET RECORDS HAD BEEN GOOD TO THEIR RECORDING GROUP NORTH SQUAD BUT,THE GROUP DECIDED TO BREAKUP WHICH JEOPARIZED THE DEAL WITH COLUMBIA. HENCE,WILL MONEY AND FIGARO HAD TO PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.

HOWEVER THE GOOD TIMES CAME TO AN ABRUPT END WHEN CO-CEO FIGARO WAS DISCOVERED DOING SOME SHADY BUSINESS. HE HAD BACKSTABBED EVERYONE ON THE LABEL INCLUDING CO-CEO AND FRIEND WILL MONEY.
