4toda5to (Foe-Tuh-Duh-Sto), born Dennis Wayne Robinson Jr., was raised in the turbulent streets of Richmond, California. Utilizing the ambition ignited by surviving his environment, 4-5 narrates a gritty foray into a world usually untethered. At his core, 4toda5to is a storyteller, accounting for his past, climbing out of the grime, with hopes of changing his future. From losing countless friends in the crosshairs of street life, to losing his older brother to prison at a young age, 4toda5to learned that nothing in this world is guaranteed. Here today and gone tomorrow is not just a saying to 4-5, but rather a lesson that life taught this young man at an infantile age. “Always faulted, it’s exhausting, I still deal with pain from losses, only cost come from each loss is that it’s molding us to bosses...” That is just one of many bars 4toda5to shares that illustrate his desire to rise above his circumstances. Wielding heavy baselines, the lionhearted rhyme slinger allows his baritone vocals to take the reigns and while we go for a ride through one of the most dangerous cities in the country. The future is promising for 4toda5to. With his older brother finally free after a lengthy stint in California’s prison system, the support of a paternal figure and his fellow street soldiers, 4toda5to is on a mission to welcome the world to Richmond, with goals to change the narrative of his life and those around him.
