JOHNNY RINGO

In the movie Tombstone , Johnny Ringo was known as the gambler who sold his soul to the Devil.
In the world of Hip-Hop Johnny Ringo’s soul is not for sale, as much as it is on display. Thanks to his uncanny lyricism, brutal honesty and humble upbringing Johnny Ringo is bound and determined to leave his mark on the game. Murder, kilo distribution and bling have become mainstay’s modern day rap music; Ringo’s rhymes are a refreshing throw back to the glory days of the art form when an MC was judged by the content of his material and ability to move the crowd. Early on, that stage-owning ability was honed as a member of a Dallas-based trio known as Flytrap. N.I.C., LoDeezy and the "White Boy" wasted no time blazing a unique trail all their own. In the span of 10 short months, the Trap got down with several music industry heavyweights: Carlos "6 July" Broady(Biggie,Nas), Mike Jones, Ice T and Paul Wall. Amicably, Flytrap disbanded around the fall of 2004. No group, no problem. Ringo went out on his own with the intent to slay every track that lay in his path. The problem was that Dallas Hip-Hop is but a sad mirror image of the wildly popular Houston Hip-Hop scene. In search of an artistic rebirth armed with a notepad and an indomitable spirit, Ringo headed westward in search of some California Love. Working with producer Aqua (Jay-Z, Tony Yayo), 700,000+ MySpace plays (www.myspace.com/johnnyringotx), 16,000+ views from a live concert on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giHaMxrMsOw), being featured on mixtapes from DJ’s all over the U.S and Canada, also being featured on Sohh.com, Hiphopdx.com, Ballerstatus.com, Hiphopbarrio.com, Raptalk.net, Trillsouth.com and working currently with Below (UGK,Masta P) on an album due out by the end of summer 2008. Johnny Ringo is poised to let the world see just what Dallas,Tx is about!
