  5. From Ready Rock C's website: The Fresh Prince and I met at a house party in the neighborhood we grew up in. Will was the emcee of the party. Some neighborhood friends asked me (Ready) to get on the Mic and BeatBox. After I displayed my gift to the crowd, Will introduced himself to me and asked me to join the rap group he was a part of. At the time Will's group was called " The Hypnotic 3". After accepting Wills offer, I figured since I was not affiliated with a why not join. I thought Will was talented as well. Later I met other members of the group. The other members were Eric Harvey (DJ GROOVE), Marc Forrest (LORD SUPREME), and Jamie (JAMIE FRESH). The group agreed that I was a great addition to the group. But little did they know I have more hidden talents. We performed at house parties, junior proms, senior proms, and dance halls. After while, Jamie Fresh was dropped from the group. This was unexplained to me as to why and I never questioned. Nevertheless I continued to perform with the remaining members . Will And I became the best of friends as a result of me joining the group and performing side by side. As I think back, Will and I had a bond so tight that we would do alot together. We hung out at bowling alleys, arcades, and movie theaters. We used to put our money together to have in order to have lots of fun. We sometimes created songs at Wills house till late evenings and we would fall asleep. We watched movies, ordered pizza, and practiced performance routines. Later on Marc and Will Began to have differences and before I knew, Marc was also cut from the group and Will was the last rapper left. Will later reveald that he wanted to establish himself as a solo rapper and felt the need to cut the others from the group. Will became possessive and did not want anyone else to rap on the mic. The group now consisted of 3 people, DJ Groove, The Fresh Prince and Ready Rock C. Although I am known for my beatboxing, Im also a proffessional drummer, I danced, composed music, and had many songs and ideas that I contributed to the group. Also some collaborations of Dj Groove followed us even though the group was renamed "DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince". I did'nt think it was a good idea to use Dj Grooves ideas since he was no longer a part of the group unless he was to be compensated. Nevertheless the new name came about once Will Smith met Jeffrey Townes (DJ Jazzy Jeff). Will preferred Jeff as the DJ over DJ Groove since Jeff was better known through out Philadelphia. I thought it was unfair to cut DJ Groove. Will, Groove and I had wrote and composed an arsenal of record material prior to meeting Jeff. It was quite a transition becoming aquainted with Jeff and his entourage. After getting to know Jeff I thought that he was cool to work with. We shared the same interest mentioned in the "Hypnotic 3" days. Jeff, Will, Jeff and I later landed a recording deal with "Word Up Records". A friend of Jazzy Jeff's became the groups manager. The first album recorded was "Rock The House". It was named after my beatbox Hit "Rock the House". The single released from this album was "Girl's Aint Nothing But Trouble". The song "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble" among other songs were written by Will, produced and written by DJ Groove, and produced and written by Ready Rock C prior to us hooking up with Jazzy Jeff. Things seemed to speed along at this point. We then started to tour off the first album. Found this interesting Wonder what happend to the other dudes and also that hype man Jazzy was mad at that led to Jazzy Jeff Fresh Prince forming
