Louis, the same hometown as Nelly, where his mother worked hard to get them from the ghetto to the suburbs. He'd spend weekends with his dad, who provided musical inspiration early on, at age 5 even taking 101 Da Exclusive onstage with his group at the time, The Arch Rivals. Much of his childhood was spent dealing with the perils of the ghetto: violence, murder, drugs, gangs, a lot of which was ha
ppening in and around his family's home, and affecting close family members. But amidst the horrors and having to grow-up too soon, there was still heavy musical influence--from both his father, as well as a cousin who was in Devastation Click. Eventually his father saw his interest and natural talents, and set 101 Da Exclusive up with some recording/studio gear. It was the dangers of the streets that truly kept 101 Da Exclusive focused on music. "You had to learn how to fight or stay in the house. I used to try and do the gang and fighting thing but I realized it wasn’t for me." So he stayed home, honing his craft daily, for years. It was rapping that eventually helped 101 Da Exclusive gain some acceptance among peers at school. He learned how to do it all: writing songs, making beats, recording, mixing, mastering, graphics, videos, distribution and promotion. It's this independence and skill that led 101 Da Exclusive to begin producing beats and songs for other artists, collaborating, but also marketing himself on YouTube. His hustle led to a deal with Floyd Mayweather's TMT music group, touring, and working with the likes of Migos, Young Thug, Drum Boi, Jazzy She, Kashdoll, Megan thee Stallion, Scott Storch, Lil; Wayne, and others. To date, 101 Da Exclusive has earned thousands in royalties and by selling beats. He's sold thousands of his own albums "out of the trunk," and has amassed some impressive online numbers, and more:
5000+ plays on Spotify
2 million views on YouTube
