== History ==
== History ==
Starting in 2008 and with the guidance and direction of Morris Porter of "Mo Masters Studio", the rapper wrote, produced, and recorded what became known as "The Maserati Rick Song", a cautionary tale inspired by the lives of Detroit kingpins Richard "Maserati Rick" Carter Sr. and Demetris "Meech" Holloway. The song was later featured in the 2010 documentary film "Demetrius Holloway: Last Man Standing". Prior to recording, Washington attended Central Michigan University for one year before being put on academic probation. The rapper then moved back to Detroit and attended Wayne County Community College District. After moving back to Detroit he befriended a man named James Lewis (who he refers to as "Jamie" in his music), a former affiliate of the '''Young Boys Inc.''' drug gang, and eventually began engaging in criminal activity. This affiliation led to his 2009 arrest and felonious conviction for manufacturing, creating, and delivering of a Schedule II narcotic for which the rapper spent a year on probation with Oakland County Parole/Probation Office. Two years later, in 2012, Washington launched Detroit Tycoon Enterprises, Inc. with the label imprint Detroit Tycoon Music Group as he wrote and recorded the mixtapes, "College Boy Turned TrapStar" and "First-Time Felon".
