Around that time he would meet DGun his future business partner & fellow recording artist. Then they made a rap group with their friend Cyrano & his cousin PNote called "Oregonized Rhymes" a play on their home state of Oregon. Years would pass and the group eventually split before getting a deal or any local recognition. At that point in time George & DGun still had the drive & determination to be successful in the rap game. So they decided to partner with George's cousin Bo to combine their mutual love of getting paper and Bo's business savy when it comes to getting paid.
