Wi$dom Money aka BO$S MONEY???!!!

About Me

A resident of Chicago’s West Lawndale neighborhood, Wi$dom Money grew up in the street. After his parents divorced when he was six months old, his grandfather, and his step-grandmother, a native of Tennessee, helped raise him.Wi$dom’s father, a traveling insurance salesman, died when he was 9. His uncles became his role models after this event. Then he became a fan of the rock era.His older brothers in the streets, white gang members, Cash and Raz, taught him to survive… their influence is still apparent in his music, and where he grew up, a melting pot he was taught to believe was the ghetto.Money began rhyming at the age of twelve, in sixth grade. He was also party to the graffiti and tag banging movements that culminated in the 1992 riots, when the Rodney King beating took place and the Bulls won a second Championship title.In 1998, after high school, he spent over a year behind bars for robbery, where he was forced to survive on his own, to prove what he had learned from his experience in hoodness.When he was released, he returned to the street determined to make a career at rapping.In 2002, a series of changes affected his approach to the rap world. He met two key people- Johnny P, a platinum-selling soul singer from the rap trio Do or Die, and the infamous Don Giovanni, an independent businessman.After honing his musical abilities with the suave of Johnny P, and keening his business sense with what he was taught by the Don G, he cut the album “A Prince to a King”, reflecting the lifestyle he had become accustomed to living on Chicago’s West side.He later toured with Do or Die and their entourage, before Belo’s sentencing for murder in the second degree. Before his imprisonment, the rapper gave him his metal wristwatch as a sign of their friendship. He still wears it as a tribute to hood life and the legacy left by the late Tupac Shakur.Wi$dom Money has been offered distribution for his freshman album, which was pressed under the self-entitled Heyn Records logo through Southern Music Distribution/AEC, one of the nation’s largest distributors.The rapper thus defines his rap as, “music for the people”.
