DJBooth.net: 21-year-old Terrell Davis, known to the rap game as Ralo...(was)...raised in the infamously dangerous West Atlanta neighborhood The Bluff (an acronym for “Better Leave U Fcking Fool”)...From ages 12 to 19, he was incarcerated 34 times...

It was the drug game, though, and not his success as a rapper...that got Ralo out of The Bluff: “I was never able to produce more money in the rap game than I produced in the drug game. I made $12 million dollars in one year.” But he recently gave up dealing drugs...“because I’d rather be broke and free than rich and in jail.”




An admirable sentiment, surely. But illegally earned income is taxable -- and since he couldn't pay the taxes without admitting that the money was illegally earned, publicly stating that he earned that much wasn't the smartest idea. Nor was it smart of Ralo to complain on Instagram that he'd "lost a million dollars in one day" the day after eight of his associates were busted for transporting several hundred pounds of weed from a private jet back in December.

Despite Ralo’s lengthy criminal history, particularly dealing drugs, he’s never been a user. “I’ve never smoked or drank or done any drugs in my life...Music is my vice...”

That makes the charges that Ralo was found in the company of several hundred pounds of weed on a private jet last week look all the more like a frameup -- and during the week of 4/20 Day, to boot!
