History
Justice (Robert Washington) was born in Waterbury, Connecticut and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2000, Justice watched his mother die of cancer. The same year he was shot in the head at close range with a 9mm handgun. In 2001 after a dispute with his uncle he was again shot, this time with a 12 gauge shotgun. This left him with 42 buck shots and 2 bullets in his body. After watching his mother die and being shot on several occasions Justice decided to use his writing skills to tell his story. So he turned to rapping as a way to channel his pain.

Chemical (Aapri Washington) was born in New Haven, Connecticut and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was heavily influenced by the lyrics of The Notorious B.I.G. In 2000, Chemical watched his mother die of cancer. After watching his mother die Chemical decided to mix his passion for music with his life struggle and his personal pain. Music became a form of therapy that is reflected in Chemical's music.

The Enforcer (Davion Garvin)was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina.The Enforcer was raised in a single parent home. At the age of 10 his house was burnt to the ground by his step father. He quickly learned not to cherish material things. He used his mother's courage and strength to adapt to the day to day struggles that would occur throughout his upbringing. Starting from scratch with absolutely nothing The Enforcer used this to bring out his hidden talent for music.

Justice and Chemical met The Enforcer after a intense basketball game in elementary school. They quickly became best friends, and their friendship still remains strong to this day. After deciding to take a musical path they chose the name Breadrin because it was another way to say brother.
