Martell a.k.a Rico was born and raised in the city of Chicago. As a kid Rico was back and forth from the west side to the south side of Chicago. It was after his mother died in 1994, is when he and his two sisters was off to live with his grand parents on the north side of Chicago. Hoop dreams was an option but the love he had for hip hop was unimaginable. As the years past and his pen and pad was put to more use, his hunger grew. Now Rico has teamed up some of the best Unsigned talent in Chicago( F.U.P.M ), And this is where the movement begins.
