Bio
Growing up in the same town, Poetic and L-Selas started Rychessmen the group. Being from the west coast their beats were west coast, however they were heavily influenced by east coast rappers like Nas, Wu Tang and Common Sense aka Common. Later down the line, they hooked up with Nice who was from the east coast. Nice brought lyrical style to The Rychessmen. Poetic and L-Selas felt that Nice completed their group with his up beat lyrical content. This gave The Rychessmen their own style that allows them to be more universal, and represent from coast to coast.
