Bio
Born and raised in a small town of Winterville, North Carolina Ronnie Run
is a well-known rapper with a lot of streets credit. "I want to put North
Carolina on the map and show people that there is talent around the state."
Growing up around the Pitt County area was just plain and real for Ronnie.
"Where I'm from was nothing different from your New York or LA. Living in
the South; the pace is slow and the hard work is there." Starting out as a
DJ; Ronnie knew or thought this was something he wanted to do. After the Dj
thing fell through; "I had a backup plan and it was rapping." Ronnie's
influences are God, my daughter Jocelyn, my family, The Sugar Hill Gang,
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, 2Pac, Notorious BIG, Rakim, Ice
Cube, Dr. Dre, KRS-One, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Jay-Z and the
list goes on and on. "I remember the first time I heard "Rapper's Delight"
by the Sugar Hill Gang and I knew from that point; rapping was something I
wanted to do." It was during a school test when Ronnie wrote his 1st rap
song. After that I called my cousin Big Buji and he told me that he was
putting beats together so we got in the studio and did my first EP "Lyrical
Masta;" it became a street classic. Two of those songs hit the radio
airwaves "Ghetto Stress FT. Black Chyna" and "North Kack for Real." With
the success of these songs, I thought it was time for me to try a new
producer.
Ronnie Run debut album called "New World"" with 3 tracks making noise as we
speak. You can't go wrong with "I Remember," "Enough"(bully track)and Put
it Down which is making some crazy noise as we speak! Ronnie is continuing
to network and recording, waiting to get a break. "I am bringing a whole
lot to the table as a artist and I am willing to give 200% if needed"
Consistently well liked songs have garnered a lot of attention for Ronnie.
This can be seen in his DJ Comments: DJ Green Lantern says: "Finally this
is what I am talking about! A song with nobody getting killed?", DJ King
Bee from South Carolina says: "Ronnie Run is the truth he is nice on the
mic!", Big Skye (2Pac homie) says: "Ronnie Run sounds like a new version of
Biz Markie." His current hit "I Remember" was recently featured on the
local news on WNCT Channel 9 in Greenville, NC and "Hood Famous" is
starting to buzz online as well. He has also had a video featured on BET's
late night show "Uncut", "4 tha' Club".
