At the age of 14, Ron. D started rapping after being inspired by his older bother and mentor Reese as well as Chicago rapper J. Seuss. In 2001 Ron.D took his passion for rap further and formed a rap group with 4 of his childhood friends called "Donizm". Donizm went on to release two mixtapes, "Get Doe (2003)" & "Dead Presidents (2004)". The group disassembled shortly after. If life in Detroit couldn't get any worse, Ron.D's biggest influence, his big brother Reese, passed away. Feeling like he couldn't move on Ron. D dropped out of school and soon after moved to Atlanta in 2005.
While in Atlanta, Ron.D hooked up with artists from all over the United States to form the rap group "The Empire". The Empire released two mixtapes "We don't strike back we strike first (2005)" & "Hate it or Love it (2006)". After having some personal and managerial issues with The Empire Ron.D, returned to Detroit in 2007 with little to no hope in pursuing a musical career.
In 2011, an almost 4 year break from music, Ron.D was ready to jump back in and give rapping all he has. He teamed up with the legendary producer/engineer P. Gruv and became a part of the J Dilla "the Rebirth of Detroit" project. With this new relationship Ron. D decided that he would either tackle the rap game head on or he would never touch the mic again. This new lease on life birthed his highly anticipated debut solo mix tape "Now or Neva." You can now experience his life and love on every track...

It's all, good, my, nigga

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Let's set this shit off, start this shit right

Dawg stalks the streets, in New York to eat
How many times do I gotta come through (yeah)
Layin' that thing down, puttin' holes in you
You cats get it on the double, so stay the fuck
Out of my way, you don't want no trouble (come on)
We travel double far, to bring you trouble God
We rollin' double hard, yea nigga double R!
I don't know what you thought it was, but it's not
But I know that you caught the slugs, they was hot
Get the fuck off the block (what), there's no more room
For bitch niggas (uh) dawg I'm comin' to get niggas (yeah)
Lift niggas, out they boots, dust it
'Cause I don't just walk around with them things to bust it
Uh, we go hard

Yo, I leave jail smoothly, jump in the pale hooptie
Fuck the dick suckin' ass nigga male groupies
Diplomats, you look at alliance, you shook in defiance
I'm cookin' up coke, lookin' for clients
I got the AK, SK, 40 cal
Scope red on your head still 40 thou' (40 thousand)
Worse than foul Nerf turf burstin', blaow
Give the church my child, ask to nurture thou
'Cause I've seen the hearses now
But if this was Gilligan's Isle, Thirstin' Howl, wow
Look at his kicks, they worth a thou'
Isn't it sad, do what I say and wish that you had
You Michigan crabs, you stabbed you piss in a bag
Or worse than that, zipped in a bag
Broke to fractions, a division of math
From, Hollywood, shittin' on Shaft, we go hard

Peep the crib, run up, in it quick (yeah)
Everything breathin' stops, only thing my niggas is leavin'

Motherfucker, uh, uh, we go hard
Never mind what a nigga say, we go hard

The lyrics to Ron.D's song Go Hard are about asserting dominance and street credibility. The song starts off with a call to action, setting the tone for 'setting things off' and causing trouble. Throughout the lyrics, the message is clear: the artists are tough, dangerous, and not to be messed with. They talk about carrying weapons and being willing to use them, running the streets of New York City, and leaving their enemies in the dust. They also reference their past experiences with the criminal justice system and their willingness to withstand any adversity. The chorus repeats the message that they go hard, don't care what others say, and they do this all day.
