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

[bigrodthe1]

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?

Dog...the running story is that he got the whole hood up in there rent free...so you think the residents helping him with the water, gas, electric, etc...lord forbid you need structural work or some shyt...that's 20k EASILY. Only way he recouping shyt is if somehow he got the building up to a section 8 code and that in itself is EXPENSIVE AS HELL! Dog I'm an educated black man whom has lived in Detroit, TN, Cali and all over the Metro DC area. I know what it costs to operate out here.

Ralo isn't a rapper. And he's not getting gunned down in his own hood lol. Dunno what these posters are talking about. People think he's just some local dude who gor a bit of money rapping?

If he ain't a rapper then why does he have so many mix tapes? Plus no one believes he got his money from rap, we all know what's up. And while I don't wish death on this dude or anyone else, most rappers/dope boys who have been murdered have died literally on the block they grew up on. Streets don't love nobody.

[GrindtooFilthy]

ralo a real ass nikka, i know he steady tryna help his people

 

[MollyGalaga]

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

If he is really so adament about helping the "hood" why not take that 400k and invest in something tangible that will help those living in the hood.
I suspect that he is just there to stunt on other unfortunate black people to coddle his ego.

bingo. he would get some attention in a rich gated community but not the near worship he's getting right now..

 

[MikelArteta]

I've never heard of dude where's he getting all this brews

 

[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

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!!

and also for you smart dumb nikkas if you are trying to obtain any mortgage you WILL be supplying 2 years of Income tax returns and we know damn well that the average street cat didn't file any taxes. I know you will come back and say that he spent straight cash on it. I'll let you do your OWN research on why it's highly unlikely that he was able to do this with legal ramifications. I'm trying educate the masses while y'all sitting here trying to make people believe the these cats be spewing

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.”

There was a thread on here about Howard University and posters were saying they should stay in blacker communities to help and now in this thread y'all saying he should move out if he has the money

Some of yall nikkas man smh. When black people get paid and leave yall complain. Now he's a fool for keeping his tax dollars in the hood?

dude is a damn fraud.


any time a mixtape / club level rapper throws money around , you should automatically assume they are broke IRL

all this charity and giving back shyt is an attempt to get popular off the new black movement.

i see right thru it

 

[FSP]

Isn't this the same Ralo who bought/built low cost housing in the hood for the community to live in. If so, there is your answer...

There was a thread on here about Howard University and posters were saying they should stay in blacker communities to help and now in this thread y'all saying he should move out if he has the money

Heres a video of him making it rain on the homeless instead of a strip club. I can't tell of he's stunting on his peers or truly being genuine, @Matt504 what do you think

how do you know he hasn't?

Fly shyt.

I can't really fw Ralo's music cuz of his voice but I fw him heavy as a person, or at least as the person he portrays himself to be. Breh does a lot for his hood. nikkas in this thread hating and talking shyt...but fukk em.

Yes he's still got some ignorance in him but you don't go from Detroit red to Malcolm X overnight. Salute to him for all the shyt he does.

Some of yall nikkas man smh. When black people get paid and leave yall complain. Now he's a fool for keeping his tax dollars in the hood?

no chatty patty hate from me.

He's stunting by making it rain, but at the same time he still is putting money in their pockets

And another thing why can't you have nice fly shyt while helping your community? I see a lot of people bytching in the comments bout him copping a Lambo. Do you know how much money he invests in his community? If he put the shyt he does on camera y'all would complain if he doesn't showcase it y'all still complain. Can't win with people

if he really is doing things to help his community, good for him. regardless of race most people don't do that. most of us just live in our own little world and go in with our day. but i don't see his driving a 400k car is relative to that?

Right. This nikka might own the whole block. He might have businesses employing other black folks. He might be helping keep property values where they are. But people gonna concentrate on his whip

COMRADE Ralo

Ill stay keeping him in my prayers

ralo a real ass nikka, i know he steady tryna help his people

So I got a question for ya'll who think this is "for the good of the hood" or whatever..

First of all let me preface by saying I DON'T JUDGE. Bill Gates and a lot of corporate white folks did a lot of dirty/underhanded things to get into the position they're at where they can do good and help people.

BUT, if this ISN'T for publicity and attention...then why the need to film it and put it on social media?
