From the age of 5 Duce Rivas was always in trouble. He got suspended from kindergarten for farting on his classmates. Always getting into fights with the bigger kids, you could say he was a pit bull trapped in a chihuahua's body. Duce was every teachers n...ightmare. He would extort prizes from them in exchange for his temporary silence, because Duce always knew how to tell it like it is and no one could shut him up for long. Duce began writing rhymes in high school between some early Rock influences and life in the street. Rap was what he related to most since it permeated his changing lifestyle as he became a rebellious teenager, questioning authority and refusing to be molded by society's mainstream demands. Chasing a dollar drove him to sell everything he could under the radar. His rymes became Toung-in-cheek descriptions of the life of the troubled youth of America. His first performance was at the Latin Show at Bergen Community College in 2005. As the closing act Duce delivered a performance representing the 201 (area code of northern New Jersey) to the enjoyment of the crowd. During this period he recorded his 1st couple of albums. Driven to write music, he worked and reworked his Lyrical Logic with an audacious and comical flair -- topics that mirror his real life then and now. Hes in your face with the thoughts everyone thinks but no one has the nerve to say out loud. According to Duce every pile of vomit has its silver lining, you just have to stick your hand in there and find it. Whether hes p***** on a cop car, sippin on an Old E brew, or peddling in the rain, he'll show you how to make the best of a bad situation. Just laugh at yourself. Get up and shake it off.
