Far Rockaway, New York 
It's not all sun and beaches in Far Rockaway, New York. There, the majority of people seem to have the "one way in, one way out" mentality. On the contrary, Darryl Bynoe set his mind on bigger goals. 
Bynoe the youngest of three children, was born to Delores Bynoe on September 5th in the Edgemere section of Far Rockaway. He started playing basketball at the age of 9 as did most kids in the neighborhood; however, he decided to take it seriously the summer of 96' when he grew from 5'11" to 6'2". 
In the seventh grade, he met Rayquon "Stack Bundles" Elliott.
Subsequently, they both attended Far Rockaway H.S., where Bynoe played basketball for four years. He was 1st Team All Queens and All City Honorable Mention his junior and senior year. Recognizing his talent, several division one schools such as: USC, Iona, Brown University, Penn State, and Clemson, sought to recruit him. Unfortunately, his grades were substandard so he opted to go the Prep School route and enrolled in Blair Academy, which he attended for a few weeks. Due to the unfavorable circumstance of not being able to obtain a sponsor, Bynoe left Blair Academy and returned to Far Rockaway in order to pursue his music career.  
Rap was innate for Bynoe, it was second nature. His musical influences are Mobb Deep, Bob Marley, CNN, 50 Cent, Maroon 5, Biggie, Nas and Mary J Blige. In 2000, Bynoe formed a group called "The Predators" which consisted of him, C LOE, and Marty. Two years later the group disbanded; Bynoe and Stack really started working on music together. In June of 2002, S5 (Starting 5) was created with members: Stack Bundles, Cau2g$, Mike Millz, Bishop, and Bynoe. Chinx joined the group in 2004 and it was renamed "Tha Riot Squad". Mike Millz and Bishop parted ways from the group that same year due to creative differences. 
Stack was signed to DJ Clue's "Desert Storm" Imprint. This opened a lot of doors for Bynoe and the Riot Squad.
