Local Atlanta rapper explains why he drives a $400k car but still lives in the hood

[bigrodthe1]

buying real estate has nothing to do with felonies...

All they care about is you servicing the debt and covering the downpayment

@MillionMills get in here and school this dude

Negro You STILL going to have to see the IRS and justify your money. If you don't think the MAN is watching these activities then I got this Bridge on the Eastside of Detroit to sell you. Do you guys even think about what you post. Did you NOT watch what happened to BMF in the same damn city. Stop worshiping these false prophets

 

[badtguy]

All case he's young and black, huh crabs in a barrel.

Negro are you serious???? What other means does he have to make that type of bread?? Is he a doctor did he hit the lottery It DAMN sure isn't from his MUSIC dude I'm from the Eastside of Detroit...I know what I'm seeing when I look at it.

Ralo Made $12 Million By Selling Drugs, But Rap Pays Him Freedom
By Anna Dorn | about 10 months ago

21-year-old Terrell Davis, known to the rap game as Ralo (his moniker pays respect to his mother’s former boyfriend, a mentor and inspiration who passed away when Ralo was a kid), has changed his life considerably in the last two years. From ages 12 to 19, he was incarcerated 34 times (twice in prison). Last month, he released his third mixtape, Diary of the Streets II, which features Young Thug, Birdman, Future, Lil Uzi Vert and Shy Glizzy. Born and raised in the infamously dangerous West Atlanta neighborhood The Bluff (an acronym for “Better Leave You fukking Fool”), Ralo now lives in a “mansion in Cascade” (an affluent black neighborhood in southwest Atlanta).

“The mayor stay out here,” Ralo tells me.

Despite entering the drug game at a young age and losing countless friends and family members to violence and prison, Ralo doesn’t think negatively of his childhood. “I didn’t know other people lived better than I did,” he tells me. “I thought everyone’s mom and dad sold dope.”

Ralo tells me that it wasn’t until middle school that he realized his upbringing veered from the norm. He would see kids come to school with new shoes, saying things like, “I need to clean my room.” Ralo didn’t know people had their own room—in the shotgun home (a narrow rectangular house with rooms arranged one behind the other) where he grew up, Ralo, his two brothers, his sister, his mom and his grandmother all slept in the living room. With Diary Of The Streets II, Ralo told The FADER: “My goal is to inspire more people to get in better situations."

It was the drug game, though, and not his success as a rapper—his music career took off when he released a song with Future (“Can’t Lie”) in the spring of 2015—that got Ralo out of The Bluff: “I was never able to produce more money in the rap game than I produced in the drug game. I made $12 million dollars in one year.” But he recently gave up dealing drugs, he tells me, “because I’d rather be broke and free than rich and in jail.”

By drugs he meant candy he sold in middle school and high school.


People called it drugs cause other kids always asked for more and kept returning.

Y'all take every so literal yo. It's crazy how yall be c00ning

You know they're strapped. If they weren't... I'm a trained boxer who lifts religiously. I could Luke Cage my way through those frail/flabby MFers and secure the bag for myself.

Did you really just compare Ralo to Malcolm X

Yeah that's all possible...highly unlikely thougj

shyt sounds like the Carter to me

nikka I just moved back home to Detroit from Nashville 2 years ago. The south is STILL Redneck central. And the property in those areas are now drying up. Hell in Nashville a 2 bedroom shack was going to cost you over 100k. Now to say you going to own an ENTIRE apartment complex in ATL is EASILY going to cost 200k and up and yes dude might have that type of money but the UPKEEP of said property is going to cost upwards of 20k possibly a week. I would like to believe dude is the Robin Hood of his neighborhood but dude likes to stunt like he the of his hood...not good. This dude LOVES the attention. Either he's on the feds team or he's on their radar. Do you REALLY think all that money he's flashing have been paid taxes on??? I guarantee you this won't end well

You're an unknowledgeable ass nikka. The inner city of Nashville is 25% black, concentrated to the eastside, and half of that black population is from TSU, Fisk, and MTSU. Despite that, there's a lot of black people with money in the Nashville metro

Let's compare that to Memphis, which is 65% black, 25% white. We own this city. Housing prices here are lowest in the country. Nashville is the expensive because the influx of hipster white folks, and old white money. Nashvile has always been a white city, while Memphis is the black city, so you moved to the wrong place. There's nothing "redneck central" about the Memphis area, this is literally the blackest metro area of America

Atlanta is full of old black money, so there's plenty of black real estate investors, along with other prominent black people. You can't walk around Atlanta without seeing black millionaires. You think white people own all property in a city that championed for being a black mecca?

That Camoflauge shyt still kind of fukks me up. Dude had next, i know that shyt is cliche but he did IMO. Sucks he is a forgotten rapper, got clapped while pushing his daughter in her stroller.

His shyt was tragic, Camoflauge was about to be a great one. They did him dirty AF too, how you kill that man while he holding his seed....smh. I heard his people tore SAV up looking for the people behind that

 

[Luken]

Gotta love RALO and his socialist mindstate



Even though we know it's just a crude marketing scheme







And it's only a matter of time before them WOLVES decide it eat his "dog food"

And the sad thing is those WOLVES are more likely on his own circle of "friends"

COMRADE Ralo

Ill stay keeping him in my prayers

Yeah his murder hit close to home for my fam I was at savannah state at the time..

We knew his baby mother who was the mother of his SON that was actually with him while he got murked in front of the studios that day....


Universal had just picked up the options for his distribution a month prior

Nah, trust me, they was strapped down like some bobo's in the state pen.

The heavy set brother with the AF1's on and the beard is a breh I know kinda well actually, wont say his name on here but Ive known dude since 9th grade, and anybody who familiar with the industry in ATL knows him too. Breh been on since the late 90's and his family is super well connected. Both his brothers got killed in a police chase a long while back and I pulled up just to show my respect, didnt even really know the brothers outside of passing really. shyt was like a who's who of westside dopeboys. Everybody from BMF brehs to the Muslims on down to your local breezeway server was there. Thats how much pull they have in the streets round my way.

WTF are you even talking about. The South as a WHOLE is still Redneck central. They ALL voted fukking republican as ALWAYS

Of course there are some people of color with money there but how the fukk does RALO fall into the equation. You REALLY believe the state of Georgia allowed this man to buy a whole complex and get it up to code while he stunting on social media with loads of money and you believe THE fukkING IRS is going to keep turning a blind eye to him supposedly going in with 400k CASH to buy a car? Dude how old are you?? I know COUNTLESS cats that got RICO'd for much less.

Rod stop it you're embarrassing yourself

...being a convicted felon in Georgia does not exclude him from having the opportunity to purchase real estate

I dated the sister of a kingpin whom just came home 4 years ago and as recent as last spring opened up his own seafood restaurant in Cobb County just outside Atl

He owns the lot (land) it sits on!!

No man should let prior incarceration be the excuse for not bettering themselves

And wtf being a Red State got to do with anything...

Last time I checked Michigan as seen on that map is a Red State...

Stop believing the lie that Blue State Liberals give a fukk about YOUR BLACK AZZ

Flint Michigan is a prime example of what them NORTHERN CRAKKKERS think about yo woke azz

 

[charknicks]

Really hope cacs don't kill this dude by getting a hired c00n on him.

This is the best thing I've seen in a loooooong minute

Can you explain how this is the best thing in a minute?

He still lives in the hood, but just with a 400k car. What is he doing for the hood? How is this good for the hood?

Upkeep of a property of 200k is not no 20k a week ..not even close
So in 11 weeks, it will cost more to upkeep than the total value of the property?

I'm not saying the fact that he is a felon would exclude him from buying property but you know DAMN well the State of GEORGIA isn't letting this dude make his own personal THE CARTER while policing it in a 400k Car...Suge you the homie but you ALWAYS championing for them Southern low lifes who sell the youth a bunch of bullshyt images. You want them boys to win SO BAD while they actually Destroying their communities. And as stated with the map the south has ALWAYS been a Red State. Michigan and the Midwest as a whole has always had a better core for it's minorities. I'm a firm believer that we shouldn't expect ANYTHING from the man but to even the playing field at some point you HAVE to get some Dems in place to fight for some shyt. The SOUTH has NEVER had that but you really think they about to let some cat with 45 arrests before his 25 birthday own a complex. Do YOU really believe that shyt. You down there and I'm SURE you keep your ear to the street. But again you ALWAYS defending them clowns down there. I remember you went FULL retard when cats talked about dude who looked like grimace from down there. You actually got to c00ning about him...yeah I said it
