Hi! My name is Freddie Lane; I'm 22 years old and from Auburn, Alabama. Music is something I have always been passionate about, even when I was little. In fourth grade I began rapping for fun at recess, and writing poems and raps at the house. I didn't have many friends when I was young, so music was my chance for to express myself. Rapping remained a big part of my life all through junior high to the start of high school, transferring to more public settings, such as locations in the mall like Hot Topic. Once I turned 17, I uprooted to Portland to experience a different culture, and grow as a person. I kept my rapping alive through my first couple years of college, when I made the decision to move music to the forefront of my life, and I have been flourishing in the local scene of Portland ever since. I wanted to end with mentioning my message, but I suppose I don't really have anything clear cut to put down. I just try to spread love and joy with my music, while trying to represent an idea. An idea that you can rise above misfortune and racial barriers, and create the future you want to have.

Oregon's nightmare is better known in his hometown of Portland Oregon as fireface loc. Individually he is a force to be reckoned with for his fast lyrical flows and is a main puzzle piece in the Super group Tru GAME!! His team members are A-loc, Frownz Huxtable, Memphis Maccie, Pilly Dee, Johnny Ratchet & Chaselyfe along with Himself. And he quotes "I didn't always know I'd be one of the best in the north west, but but then again, neither did anybody else. Every love that I've lost, and every hater I've gained, made me work harder and harder, people love my music because what I say Is REAL ,not only that, but I am who I say I am, REAL ONES respect that".
