GOV. NAME;ISRAEL ELVIS BITTON, AKA,'IS-E-REAL', WAS BORN ON SEP. 10,1982 IN GOLSBORO,NC. MY FATHER WAS A NATIVE OF ISRAEL, AND BOTH MY PARENTS LOVED ELVIS,SO THAT EXPLAINS THE NAME! I MOVED 2 BRUNSWICK COUNTY,NC AT THE AGE OF 4. I CANT REALLY COMPLAIN BOUT MUCH 4RM CHILDHOOD OTHER THAN THE CUSTODY BATTLES.WHEN I HIT MY TEENS,THATS WHEN I STARTED 2 STEER TOWARDS DA STREET LIFE,SELLING DRUGS, AND EVENTUALLY GETTING CAUGHT. GOT KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL,THEN TRIED THE ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL THANG,BUT IT DIDNT WORK SO I QUIT! IN 2000,AT THE AGE OF 18, I MOVED BACK 2 GOLDSBORO 2 START OVER AND FINISH SCHOOL.I GRADUATED IN 2001, AND STARTED 2 PURSUE A CAREER IN MUSIC. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HIP HOP AND OFTEN HAD DREAMS TO BE AN ARTIST,BUT I FELT LIKE MY ETHNIC BACKGROUND WOULD CAUSE CONTROVERSY! I BEEN PLAYING THE DRUMS SINCE AGE 4,SO YA BOY BEEN HAD RYTHM! I JUST NEEDED AN OPEN DOOR,THANKS 2 DRE AND EM,THAT DOOR IS NOW WIDE OPEN.I LINKED UP WITH N.O. SOMEWHERE AROUND 2002,AND SINCE THEN ITS BEEN ALL HARD WORK. SEEN ALOT OF GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS ALONG THE JOURNEY. TRIALS N TRIBULATIONS IS A PART OF LIFE, BUT I'VE SEEN MY SHARE OF REAL LIFE! I'VE BEEN 4RM COURTS 2 PROBATION 2 REHAB, 4RM JAIL 2 PRISON; BUT HEY; DADDY'S HOME!!! WE'VE GROWN SO MUCH N THE LAST FEW YEARS, THAT WE FEEL LIKE ITS OUR TIME! WE'VE WORKED VERY HARD AND CONSISTANT ON BEING MORE THAN JUST ARTISTS. PEOPLE DONT SEE THE BEHIND DA SCENES ACTION,BUT RYHMING IS A VERY SMALL PART OF BEING A STAR,U GOTTA BE EDUCATED ON DA INDUSTRY, OR U WILL GET RAPED! THIS G-I-B SHIT IS REAL!! BETTER LISTEN 2 WHAT DA SONG SAYS; "WE HERE NOW!!"//ESTABLISHED N 2005, GHETTO INFANTRY RECORDS TOOK FLIGHT IN BRUNSWICK CO., NC. CO- CEOs N.O.; AND IS-E-REAL MAKE UP THE TALENTED GROUP; GHETTO INFANTRY. N.O. didnt always see music as a meal ticket! "Music has always been apart of my life, if I wasnt dancing 2 it, i was singing along wit it." "Its always been there 4 me!" I never came up thinking i was going 2 b a 'rapper', i thought i was gon b da next NFL superstar." After a brief stint playing college football n da state of Arkansas, the path that was etched n pavement turned n2 a narrow dirt road." Real life started happening, I had a seed 2 feed,bills 2 pay, no more time 2 play!" After being kicked out of college, during one of darkest times n my life, thats when i dicovered the true power of music." JAY-Z is one of my biggest influences, his swagger , his story,his struggle, made me look at life n a different light. It made me want to follow n his footsteps, and hopefully, one day, i can be da same inspiration 4 another artist!" Born n North Carolina, raised n Louisiana; N.O. is Southern Hospitality at its finest!! "aint nobody pick me, i aint have my hand up", "I was chosen, i had N.O. choice but 2 stand up!" G.I.B. ALL N ENT. 4LIFE!!! LETS GET $$$$$$$$$
