Band Members: White Boy Wade & Pistol Pete
Both White Boy Wade and Pistol Pete since they were fetus's have had a deep respect and passion for rap music. Both are from two different sides of town and grew up in different worlds, Whiteboy Wade hailing from the Southside of Indianapolis, Pete the Westside. They have been close from day one because they are both are real ass ppl and have pretty much the same views, concepts and understanding for the streets, the world and music, so real recognize real and there has always been a mutual respect.
They both always wrote rhymes as kids, did it for years, but oddly enough gave very little serious thought to actually doing it and continued to only be fans of the greats of all genre of rap, mainly underground rap.
One Day without ANY discussion or planning or hesitation something magical happened.... they recorded a song, they are unsure why they did it, they never spoke about it, it just happened like the sun coming up. It was a terrible song, it sounded like shit... but the lyrics on the other hand were pretty ingenious, it gave insight into what was to come.
Self taught producers of their own music, they have become some very clever song writers and have some catchy hooks and concepts and create songs that provoke your mind and your whole audible perception of what rap music can be. They have worked closely to the Nap's own Kach 22 and may have been seen at a few shows in the Indianapolis, IN area Including being the opening act for Lil Wyte, Project Born and the Godfather of the Wicked shit himself Esham!
They have their own style and although are influenced by many different types of artists, they still have a raw quality that has no regard for the rest of the music world or what you think and leaves most with their ears open wanting more. They are truly unique and destined for great things and definitely ahead of their time. Yet to release an album (mostly due to their lack of satisfaction with the quality) they have received positive feedback and a warm welcome from all who have listened. They are perfectionists and best believe they won't stop 'til they take the midwest by storm.
Keep your eye out for new tracks from TRE-17 they are guaranteed to be better than the last time!!!!Back 2 Top
