Treal Lee & Prince Rick

Montreal LaKeith Lee (born July 25, 1988) better known as Treal Lee, is a determined, up and coming rapper from south Dallas, TX. Born in Dallas, to Ivy Harris and Reginal Lee, Montreal endured hardships resulting from his parents eventual separation. Middle school proved to be the turning point of Montreal’s struggle. Failing grades and trouble dampened his spirit, but his musical interests held him steadfast. Montreal’s mother purchased his first karaoke machine in the Summer of 2002. This peaked Montreal’s passion to an all time high, and he began writing and recording numerous songs. This eventually led to the formation of his group, RMT. Montreal started high school at West Mesquite, but trouble led him to attend Bryan Adams his sophomore year. While continuing to focus on his rap, by chance, he met Rickey Harris who also shared the same musical passions. Rickey also had his own group, East Grand Ballers. They eventually merged the two groups into “The Pawn Shop Boyz.” The new group worked diligently to save money for the first session in a real live studio. Their first cd release became well-known throughout their community and school. After achieving this feat, it became overwhelming obvious that music was by far their new number one priority. Unfortunately, the other members of their group did not want to pursue the musical endeavors seriously, leading to the breakdown of “The Pawn Shop Boys.” Montreal chose to focus on his high school graduation, and ultimately decided against going to college. He began working and living a “normal” life. As time passed, his job didn’t work out as planned, leading to his returning to what he knew best……. Rapping. Rickey Harris, Jr (born August 5, 1988) better known as Prince Rick, is a talented and driven rapper from East Dallas, TX. His parents, Dallas natives, Beverly Wallace and Rickey Harris, Sr knew that their youngest son was destined to be involved in music. Growing up, Rickey was primarily raised by his elder siblings and grandmother due to his parents separation. This enlightened Rickey to much wisdom beyond his years. Rickey dealt with everyday struggles while growing up in the Dallas neighborhood of East Grand. He learned from and early age to channel his struggles into something positive, which for him was music. In middle school, Rickey and some friends formed the group EGB that was known throughout the neighborhood for their exclusive rap battles. In 2001, Rickey’s mother purchased him his first computer, enabling him to experiment with a home recording programs, Acit. After Rickey achieved knowledge of Acit, he and his group, East Grand Boys, recorded their first cd “Life of East Grand.” These endeavors continued throughout high school. While attending Bryan Adams High School, Rickey met Montreal Lee. They formed a tight bond due to their similar interests and focus of music. They formed the group “Pawn Shop Boys.” Despite their mutual passion for music, the group broke apart, leaving only Rickey and Montreal standing. While continuing life as usual, working at a local grocery store, Rickey decided to make his own solo mixtape, “Prince of D-town.” After graduation, Rickey continued to pursue writing, recording, and working. He put together a studio in his home, and helped other artists with their music. It wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning………….
