It was once said, "no doesn't mean no, it means find another way." Wriott, born Oliver Barroso, never took no for an answer. Raised on the westside of Los Angeles, Wriott was an artist all his life. Even at an early age he was ahead of his class. "They told me I was a natural born leader before I even knew what that meant." says Wriott. His interest shifted from the drawing board to the notepad at 11 years old when he began battling any competition he could find.

Wriott began making a name for himself in high school. He was battle tested, cypher approved, and at 16 recorded and released his first album, The blue collar symphony, with producer and classmate Rocsteez. He started a guerilla marketing campaign and slowly started to build a buzz with his hit single, "Mr.O". The young entrepreneur continued networking and hustling his cd's and met some of the "right people" to help him get a deal. He cut an album with the group Last Empire alongside Rocsteez and his business partner Rimpau. They shopped the album to every major label in the music business who one by one gave them the same answer-no. But Wriott knew what that really meant.

Frustrated by the albums failure, his grocery store job, and the fact the group was going nowhere, Wriott took his business mind to the streets. "I was really stupid. I thought sellin' dope would make me successful like all the other rappers I looked up to. Now I realize they're all successful rappers, not drug dealers." When a sour deal landed Wriott in jail, he had to find yet another way. "Sittin in a cell is not the business. And jail is not the spot for a 2time player."

In 2005, Wriott recorded the classic street album, Sun Don't Chill, and applied his hustling mentality to his music career. The album hit the streets and Wriott took off. Through word of mouth and a persistant street team, Wriott's name was ringing throughout the streets of LA. With a buzz and a demand building, he became the most exciting new artist to come out of the west in years. Now with his own label, his 2time crew behind him, a flurry of mixtapes, and the sickest beats on the scene, this riot will be tearing up the streets for years to come.
