As an independent artist, ReyTheGreat takes great pride in his craft. ReyTheGreat also has a project by the name of “forever ballin” in the works and is set to be released im April 22, 2022. ReyTheGreat is an all-around talent he really can do it all, he explains to me he makes music off his emotions so that’s the reason why you hear so many different styles and sounds from him. He explained to me today he might be sad, mad, depressed, or happy and however he is feeling that is how the song will come out. Keeping it real with his fans in his music is something is described that he takes great passion in. He would never want to guide anyone in the wrong direction in life and takes great responsibility for all of the lyrics in his music.
His childhood and upbringing was not the easiest and was not the worse. As a child, Rey had to deal with his father and mother separating and actually watching his mother take him and his sister to a homeless shelter. His mother eventually found a job and was able to make Reynaldo’s situation much better. In 2004, Reynaldo moved to liberty city Florida where he was introduced to a lot of different things as a child, he explains liberty city at the time was dangerous and reckless. As a fourth-grader, he would go to Winn-dixie to bag groceries and help people take their groceries to their car to make a few bucks at the time.
Also would go to the bp not too far from his house to pump people’s gas and try to have his own money therefore he wouldn’t have to ask his mom for money. Rey told me this story one week he was hustling hard every day after school and wouldn’t go home until he made 25 bucks per day, he was saving for the black and gold LeBron 3’s in 2004. His mother needed help and asked Reynaldo if he can lend her money and he gave his mother all the money and never was able to buy the LeBron’s.
Another story he told me that stood out was one day he and his cousin Kidkid were walking to the gas station to inflate air into their bike tire. When they walked past a house where a bunch of people were outside and spotted them and chased them both with guns. Lucky them the guys were only interested in taking the bikes.
