The lyricist Ricki Rich also known as “The Wolf of Rap” came across her talents at a very young age. Growing up on the west side of Cleveland with a father doing life in prison the streets became her go-to. In a single parent home with 4 other siblings, Ricki had to fend for herself. Years later, after making a few bad decisions, she landed herself in prison, serving a four-year sentence, where she started to put her life story into lyrics. Shortly after her release, she got together with a few producers and artists such as Lil Marv, Rello Rell, Undisputed, Berto the God, Highlife B, amongst others to help turn her dream of becoming one of the best to ever do it in Hip Hop into reality.
