Band Members:
Jason Berry (better known as J$O) was born September 27th, 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia and then moved to Norfolk, Va in his early years and then moved down to Columbia, SC where he currently resides. He 1st started playing around with rhyming in 6th grade but became more serious about it his sophomore year of high school when a carrer in basketball was no longer obtainable. He started out making mixtape records and battling local MC's to get his name buzzing in the area. His name "J$O" originated from a freestyle he did one day and said the word peso and made up the word "jso" to rhyme with it. He ended up liking it enough to coin it as his stage name but replaced the "s" with a "$" because of his non stop hustle for money.
Chad Keeve (bettter known as KiDdKeEvE) was born September 18th, 1988 in Columbia, SC which he currently resides. He played around with rapping by just making freestyles and jotting down lines here and there but never took it serious because of his love for basketball. Once he graduated from high school, his passion for basketball faded away and his love for making music grew larger because of his older brothers child hood friend. His brothers friend began to offer him free instrumentals to create songs to and continued making them for him once he heard how talented Keeve was. His stage name "KiDdKeEvE" simply comes from him just adding "kidd" in front his last name, Keeve.
Rashad Counts (better knwon as Shad Money) was born August 3rd, 1989 in Irmo, SC and currently resides there. He is widely known in Irmo for his excellent football abilities and skills. Even while participating in the sport, he always had an interest to make his own music. He started out just playing around freestyling before games and at home with friends and was told he was pretty good at it by many different people and that's when he began to take it seriously in his sophomore year of high school. He began to make mixtapes with a group and battle to gain rep for himself. His alias "Shad Money" originated through high school friends calling him by that name and he eventually decided to trademark the name for himself.
