The Intro:
Unfadeable E.R.G. was born in Ventura, California in 1981 and spent the earliest years of his life in Santa Paula, CA. His parents divorced when he was around 1 1/2 years old. Growing up his mother had many unstable relationships and was always moving. When he was 7 years old he moved to San Diego, California. His mother who had hard time settling down moved back and forth to Santa Paula and San Diego. This time in which a young E.R.G. lived with many relatives including his grandparents, aunts & uncles. While his living conditions weren’t always permanent, by the time he was 12 he had already been enrolled in 11 different schools. Rene was always trying to contemplate a way for his family to leave the lifestyle they had drowned themselves in. While living with his grandparents Carrie and Ignacio Castro, a young E.R.G. would study his grandfather playing the guitar and sing old Spanish songs. All while at the same time his uncles Manuel and Abraham Castro were heavy into old school hip-hop and designing rhymes themselves forming MLC and The Azteca, performing at local shops and spots in San Diego. By this time E.R.G. was trying to perfect his rhyming skills on the mic. His uncles who were his main influences in hip-hop music were also rugged hardcore gang members, rapping about the street life, while at the same time trying to push their music on familiar ears.
Hold On:
In 1997 a major life change came upon Unfadeable E.R.G. when his uncle Abraham committed suicide. This really devastated him and was a great loss. Still trying to recoup from his Uncles death 6 months later his Grandmother Caroline, who raised him, suffered a severe heart attack and died. Around the same time his mother had an ectopic pregnancy and lossed her baby. 4 years later E.R.G. would loose another set of his immediate family, his Grandmother from his fathers side Josephina Guajardo, his Uncle Nacho Castro Jr. and his son Nachito III, who was shot in the head by a rival gang member around the corner from E.R.G.'s house on 12th street. That night E.R.G. heard the gunshots but on this side of the neighborhood it was typical and he didn’t think anything of it. CHECK OUT MY VIDEO "Change" featuring E.R.G.
The Creation:
Around 1996 Rene was given his stage name by his Uncles. E.R.G. which are primarily his initials and would later be interpreted as "Every Rappers God", in which was given to him by an artist and translated by everyone as being a producer of beats and musical compositions.
