Riggz was born and raised on the south-side of Chicago, IL. Riggz grew up in a single family home, and being young and black was just one of the obstacles. Riggz was fighting against. Living on the south-side where drugs, gangs, and violence is often heavy, Riggz became influenced by his friends and neighborhood gangs. Mostly into sports and music Riggz was never overwhelmed by the harsh reality of the street, it only guided him towards the principles of loyalty, honor, and hustle until you make it mentality. Riggz soon became more influenced by his father, who re-entered his life, and older sister living at home listened to all types of music like Rap, R&B, Pop, Blues, Jazz, and Oldies which became a new passion. Riggz as u know him now, but back then was named Tim Ross started working on his own style. Being from "Chicago", west coast, east coast, and even southern style music weighed tons on his ability to be different. Veteran-like skills are definitely proving he's a future force to be wrecking with. With the ability to switch the flow pattern Riggz speaks on partying, social issues, and then mix it up with the street credibility that brings new excitement to the industry scene. Nothing is more important than making it out of a city where music is not supported within, and not taking serious from without. Riggz said and I quote "It is nothing like creating a song, recording it, listening back to it, others listen like it and become fans, I love that shit".
