Gerrell Gaddis (born October 18, 1974), known by his stage name Rell, is an American R&B singer. He was the first male R&B singer signed to Roc-A-Fella Records, where he recorded with artists such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, Consequence, and Young Gunz.
Rell grew up in Bowman, South Carolina, and is a former South Carolina State pre-med student. He signed to Roc-A-Fella Records in 1997, and began work on his debut album which was tentatively titled, Medicine. Rell got his break in 1998, appearing in Jay-Z's rap cult flick Streets Is Watching and contributing the club banger "Love for Free" to the movie's soundtrack and would later be featured on his debut album. Within the latter part of 1998, Rell renamed his debut, The Remedy, and re-released, "Love for Free" as the lead single. In 1999, two other singles ("When Will U See" and "Darlin'") were released as radio buzz singles for the album, however, within the first quarter of that year, Remedy was shelved due to the failed charting of his album's singles. Still signed to the Roc, Rell went on to sing hooks for nearly every Roc-a-Fella MC since, including Jay-Z's "It's Obvious" and Freeway's "Victim of the Ghetto", and appearing on "The Message" featuring Mary J. Blige, from Dr. Dre's Chronic 2001.
The Young Gunz is an American rap duo from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania composed of Young Chris (born Chris Ries in 1983) and Neef Buck (born Hanif Muhammad in 1985). The group is part of Beanie Sigel's State Property collective and was signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. Young Gunz' debut single, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", made the top 20 on the Billboard charts in 2003.They are currently signed to G-Unit Philly as State Property and Young Gunz but only Young Chris is also signed as a solo-artist.
Ries and Muhammad had been friends since they were young boys on the block(C-Ave). On "Takeover", a track from his 2001 album The Blueprint, Jay-Z announced the duo as "Chris & Neef".
In 2001, the duo performed on the State Property soundtrack album. Chris and Neef starred in the titular movie. Also during this period of their career, Young Chris appeared throughout Dame Dash's Dream Team compilation, and Beanie Sigel's The Reason. The duo performed together on guest appearances for albums like Jay-Z's The Blueprint 2, Freeway's Philadelphia Freeway, State Property's The Chain Gang Vol. 2, and Memphis Bleek's M.A.D.E.; all while recording their album.
Reverend James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was the founder and leader of the Peoples Temple, which is best known for the November 18, 1978 mass suicide of 909 Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana along with the killings of five other people at a nearby airstrip. Over 200 children were murdered at Jonestown, almost all of whom were forcibly made to ingest cyanide by the elite Temple members.
Jones was born in Indiana and started the Temple in that state in the 1950s. Jones and the Temple later moved to California, and both gained notoriety with the move of the Temple's headquarters to San Francisco in the mid-1970s.
The incident in Guyana ranks among the largest mass suicides in history, though most likely it involved forced suicide and/or murder, and was the single greatest loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001. Among the dead was Leo Ryan, who remains the only Congressman assassinated in the line of duty as a Congressman in the history of the United States.
Durrell Mohammad, also known as Hell Rell, is an American rap artist and a member of rap group The Diplomats. In 2007, he signed with Koch Records and began working on his debut album, For the Hell of It. The album reached #5 on both the Billboard Top Independent Albums and Top Rap Albums chart, and #10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Williams started being a comedian in his neighborhood, Avondale, most notably appearing on BET's Comic View. He has also played supporting characters in movies such as First Sunday and Norbit, but is probably more widely recognized for his character Money Mike in the movie Friday After Next.

Jigga, Rell, nine-eight edition
This is Roc-a-Fella for life, this is Roc-a-Fella for life
This is Roc-a-Fella for life, this is Roc-a-Fella for life
I play my parts with the honies hard
It's gotten even worse now that the money's washed
Like a letter y'all, the nine-eight find me straight
Good health, can't complain about my financial state
What else? I guess tomorrow knows
I run through chicks like borrowed clothes
I'm the type of nigga your father oppose, never test Jay
You follow the code, ese, on my best day
I'm like God with a blow, bless me
[Rell]
Baby, why are you chasing that man?
Knowing that he can't, love you like I can
I guess you'd rather chase, instead of feeling
what's real inside, I got to thinking
And I hope you realize (all this love for free)
(Better come and get it soon) Hurry hurryahahyyy
(Please, don't take too long) I want your love babe
(Before it's all gone, I just wanna put you on)
The apple of my eye, sweet cherry surprise

(Hurry hurry hurry, cause later on might be too late)
Gotta hurry (Hurry hurry hurry, tell me whatcha gonna do)
(Hurry hurry hurry, there's too many dimes for me to choose)
Baby you got me (got me goin)
Goin round in circles (tell me why)
And I can't explain whyaayiyyy (I need your love)
Can't get enough of your love
[Jay-Z]
Yea yea yea
In the SL with Rell, music at a high decimal
Mami frontin, touchin buttons like she spec-ial
cause she sex well, in the best tell, rapper filla cartel
Excel-ing like Hyundai, Sunday to Sunday
it's for the nachoes, come out the clothes
And baby girl if it's Hammer time, then hide your toes
The game cold like, five below, but once inside the show
we to' it down; about that money, we throw it around
So when the ice hit the sun rays, run for shade
Game's over, we didn't come to play
The fuck y'all thinking??
[Rell]
Round and round in circles
(Tell me why) I can't explain why
(I need your love) Can't get enough of your love
Baby I've got all this love (all this love for free)
(Better come and get it soon) Baby baby baby
(Please don't take too long) I want your love babe
(Before it's all gone, I just wanna put you on)
Can you feel me growing baby
(All this love for free... better come and get it soon...)
My door my car my sanity
You had it all girl (you had it all girl)
My heart my hope girl my everything
You had it all girl (you had it all)
But still every thing that I gave up is some how is not enough for you

(Chorus)
This is your last ride
Girl since you don't wanna act right
I'm gonna go hit it and back it up
Baby girl im on my wind

Going back to that fast ride
And it's all because of you
Look what you made me do
My walk, my talk, my sweater too
Oh come back girl (oh come back girl)
Mmhhhmmm
Cause the baddest girls I turned away for you
Oh come back girl (oh come back)
And to think that everything I gave up some how is not enough for you
(Girl) Ms. Not satisfied gone with an other guy

So your tears still burn and you live and you learn
I know it's not just true
I never play this game (again with you)
(Chorus)
This is your last ride
Girl since you don't wanna act right
I'm gonna go hit it and back it up
Baby girl im on my wind
This is your last ride
Going back to that fast ride
And it's all because of you
Look what you made me do
I didn't wanna go back (I didn't wanna go back)
But you forced me to be the man I used to be
You shouldn't of did it like that (oh baby)
You just had to run the streets
So no more you and me
(Chorus 2 xs)
This is your last ride
Girl since you don't wanna act right
I'm gonna go hit it and back it up
Baby girl im on my wind
This is your last ride
Going back to that fast ride
And it's all because of you

Timbo on the track
J-Breezy! Take it easy I got ya homie
Let's do the damn thing Rell
[Verse: Jay-Z]
When girls stop and stare it's obvious it's the "Roc"
Your vision's impaired it's obvious it's the watch
Park nine for being pasumptious
It could be that ash it cuts in my ear or some shit
Oh stop your dumb shit, Hov is hot
It ain't just hoes and guns shit, I switch top
Big sneakers can't see wit their op-tics
They optical allusions don't confuse dudes wit him
Uh, it's obvious stayin' used to win
Used to being in that Jeep deuce deuce like him
G-4 land a teeted barrel (whoo)
Fitted sombrero to the side, nigga my stride is so ghetto
Projects strut, hop out the plane hop in my truck
Just in time, hop off my thugs
It's obvious you got hate in you thug
You want the crown you got to take it in blood
Nigga what! (c'mon)
[Verse: Rell]
Wit every step, wit every move
Scared of me, in the mood
All I see, is her and me
Gettin' down, I said gettin' down!
I love her frown, I love her smile
Most of all, I love that she's wild
Watchin' her, watchin' me
Escapin' to her, she's talkin' to me!
[Chorus: Rell]
Girl, I can tell by the look in your eyes
and the way that you back it up
I can tell that you like it rough rough - oh yes it's obvious!
Plus, I'm a freak and I know it's your style
cause we get bubble while makin' love
I can tell that you like it rough rough - oh yes it's obvious!
[Verse: Rell]
It's in your walk, it's in your vibe
In your claws, some in your eyes
Chasin' you, you chasin' me
We belong, like Adam and Eve
You're the Queen, I'm the King
Shall no one, intervene
Kinky things, thuggish things
Crazy things, anything!
[Chorus]
[Interlude: Rell]
I can, I can tell
I can, I can tell that you like it rough
I can tell, I can tell that you like it rough
I can tell, I can tell that you like it rough (I can't deny it baby!)
I can tell, I can tell that you like it rough (so don't complicate it!)
[Bridge: Rell]
Don't complicate it (noo no)
Be my lady (love or hate it)
Love or hate it (nooo)
You belong to me (babe)
Don't complicate it (said don't complicate it)
Be my lady (be my lady)
Don't contemplate it (nooo nooo)
You belong to me
(feat. Memphis Bleek)
[Rell singing]
[Verse One: Memphis Bleek]
Yo, I be's the M Easy
I got a wife but still ain't nothing change
I still fuck you easy
Sittin on buttons my eight white binge
You see it's the half dozen, mamis ask nothing
But niggas wanna snitch why you all in my shit
Cause when I creep off, they wonderin if I got the shit
But it wasn't me, matter fact you could see off
Why she with me, I guess it's that playing with Bleek
Now let's go
[Chorus - Rell]
Now who going to blame when they ran they mouth
Talkin bout shit they nothing about
Spittin straight lies when they baby's here
Telling the thing she don't need to hear
Somebody know it gon flush me out
Got my shorty reaching all up in the couch
She lookin for my stash tryin to find me out
Gotta get at her see what this be bout
[Chorus - Rell singing]
Why it gotta be like that? (Oh why, why why why why it gotta be?)
She all up in my ghetto stash (Why you all up in my stash?)
She want to listen to them broke niggas friends
(And then you want to listen to them broke niggas friends)
Tell me why is in my glass, all up in my stash
Just listen to her face, I better leave her live, I'm sayinn
[Verse Two: Rell]
I jumped up in the rain about five to four
Tryin to think of a place where she could blow the dough
I bet she out shoppin in the prada store
Frontin with that no dawg bitch that pay the tolls
Runnin past fast with the trailer smoke
She spendin all my money tryin to leave me broke
She actin all funny like this shit is a joke
But when I catch her I'm gonna throw that ass in the door
[Chorus - Rell]
Why it gotta be like that? (Why? Why it gotta be like that?)
She all up in my ghetto stash (Why you all up in my stash?)
She want to listen to them broke niggas friends
(She'd rather listen to them broke niggas birds over me)
Oh tell me why is in my glass, all up in my stash
Just listen to her face, I better leave her live, I'm sayinn
Why it gotta be like that? (Why, why why why, why why?)
She all up in my ghetto stash
(Cause that shit ain't funnny when you messin with my money)
She want to listen to her broke niggas friends
(Listenin to your broke niggas friends)
Oh tell me why is in my glass, all up in my stash
Just listen to her face, I better leave her live, I'm sayinn
[Verse Three: Memphis Bleek]
Yo, yo any bitch that know Bleek know that bread on top
And I only fuck wit you ma if yo head on butt
I don't play games, you tryin to fuck with my case
I could take you, divide you but you won't see my say
And you never get my combo
The only thing that the little fingers gonna twirl is the
??? (This line is cut off in the edited version)
You know what you get when you fuck with my chip
I'm takin out so now you gotta search for her crib
I'm through now, why it gotta be like that
Cause you's a fool while listenin to your friends like that
Like Memph ain't the nig that'll keep you jig
Send you in and out of prada keep your neck frost bit
Make you shiver, ma it ain't even the winter
It's the middle of June you wearin more colors than cartoons
Now you done fuckin with my dollars
Bitch, beat your feet, Bleek wearin collars
