R.E.A.L. started in late August 2001 by LTGK, O.Live, and K-Pro, who are all family(K-Pro and O-Dogg being brothers and LTGK being their cousin). LTGK was only 9 years old and K-Pro and O.Live were just 11 at the time. The group took on the name Summer Boyz for no acquired reason and keep that name until 2002. At that time, the style of the group was more towards the pop/rap style because of the music they were listening to. In 2002, the group became more focused on being a hip hop group and changed their name to Jerseyz Finest. They recorded their first called "To The Club" this year. Their lyrics was somewhat advanced for their age but still need much development. In 2003, the group would just spend a lot of their time hanging out at LTGK's father studio DML Productions(where they recorded their first song) and tell random artists or musician there about the group. When 2004 came, the group stopped recording for a long period of time. One might speculate that the group was over at that time. But that all changed in 2005 when the group added Killakid, LTGK's brother and O.Live and K-Pro's cousin. D-LA, K-Pro and O.Live cousin and Killakid and LTGK's brother, joined the group in 2006. In 2007, the group started to get a little more recognition as the word spread about them. They were recording at several different studios such as A+ Media, JKC Studios, Final Element, and Toast 'N Butta Studios, all of which are studios owned by family members and family friends. They recorded several songs that summer. In April 2008, Jerseyz Finest changed its name to R.E.A.L. which originally stood for(Realizing Entertainment Advanced Lyricism) but later changed the meaning to Rhymes Equal Actual Life which was actually a line said by rapper, teacher, and philosopher KRS-One in Yo! MTV Raps' Last Episode Freestyle. This name meant more to them and properly described them more that Jerseyz Finest did. In 2009, LTGK left the group do to certain differences and their cousin MoSkillz aka Casper joined not much later. They started rapping at a very young age. It started out as a hobby but quickly became the best way for them to express themselves and show their intelligence as well as their talent. R.E.A.L. were all born and raised in Jersey except for Killakid who was born in Jersey but raised in Atlanta. They are different with our music, focusing powerful, entertaining, intelligent, and influential lyricism along with fun, creative, storytelling beats. Most songs today all sound the time and R.E.A.L. want to change that. Check out every song they do because they will all be innovative, creative, and different. R.E.A.L. is the future of R.E.A.L.
