__**Assignment 1 BAND NAME LOGO, James weathersby**__ band biography.Jacory cauthen, Ryan flores. Militia Crew Biography

It all started when we was little kids still in Elementary school. At Recess back in third grade while the other kids were playing tag we were busy busting rhymes under the slides. Kids asked why we were singing rap music and making beats we simply said that because we like it. Once we got in middle school we were neighborhood celebrities’ people knew us because of our flows. We battled other crews that were much older but they couldn’t stop us. But we didn’t come up with our name until our freshman year when we was playing call of duty modern warfare 2, and we saw the name militia in the bottom corner then we just add crew to the end of it. We weren’t known nationally until our junior year of high school where we were recorded during our first talent show where we got first place. Then that video was then put on YouTube and became an instant hit. Many record labels loved the video so they contacted us immediately. Since then we have had many interviews with record labels. We came to an agreement to sign with young money. When we started dropping singles they made some changes to our group they put lil James (James weathersby) at lead singer, dino (roger ontiveros) at dj, ryry (Ryan Flores) at hype man, and Jaqua (jacory Cauthen) at backup singer. We have had a lot of successful with young money records our first album was M o e ( militia over everything)it went multi platinum.
