My name is Lonnie McDonald aka Blvd Lotto.. Born and raised in the Southside Raleigh area of North Carolina.. My mother Went in Labor with me during a high stakes poker game... So the name Lotto was pin pointed.. I grew up selling old toys I grew tired of too make extra money, and wrote poems in the mean time. Early in life I fell in love with rhyming. Graduated highschool and jumped straight into The streets... Robbing, shooting, getting shot at and selling drugs no joke. As I got older I experienced alot of ups and even more downs.. Which I say describes the pain in the music I make.. Reality Check
