Biography
Early Life

Being interviewed about the creation of the "Ultimate" beat
Ronny is originally for Southern New Jersey. He grew up listening to Church music with his family and would drum on the pots and pans that he found in the church. When he was 5-years-old, his parents would get him a drum set. It was not until middle school that Ronny began to listen to contemporary hip hop at the time including The Clipse, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross. In high school, Ronny was in his school's marching band with future G.O.O.D. Music producer Charlie Heat who would inspire Ronny to start producing. Ronny would spend his time watching YouTube tutorials on how to produce with Reason (software). After spending a semester at Florida Memorial College, he transferred back to his home state to attend Camden County College.
Career Beginnings
Ronny would transfer again to the Art Institute of Miami where he met Denzel Curry. He would later drop out due to it's high tuition and was couch-surfing in strangers houses. Ronny considers this a difficult time in his life and had zero family in Florida to support him. The only reason why he stayed down there was because of music and working with Denzel.
