Biography

Hidden away in cloud of unsigned talent and unheard hype, a group of inspiring young artists scream for recognition from the underground rap scene. The duo, consisting of rapper Charles Trematic Singleton and producer Jason Action McNeely are focused on a journey to introduce dope beats, dissecting lyrics and an original style to a copy-cat industry. Born and bred on the streets of Long Beach CA, the two formed a hot act called TreAction. Brought to face the many struggles of the streets, TreAction avoided the pitfalls of ghetto life by embracing hip-hop into their hearts and souls. As students of Polytechnic High School, our artists took part in freestyle battles at lunchtime to show off their devastating skill. Trematic recited lyrics while Action laced the group with fantastic beat boxing backup. They soon joined allies with friends to construct another rap group called Unseen. After high school Charles and Jason stayed as a family and officially formed the tag team TreAction in 1998. Later, the team had to endure a lengthy separation while Jason attended school in Arizona.

They produced a countless number of hard-hitting tracks and jam-packed demos. While fellow Long Beach MCs, such as Snoop Doggy Dogg, Warren G and Tha Dogg Pound sold millions of records by glamorizing the thugs, guns, and drugs, TreAction remained faithful to their mission of rising above the streets, instead of falling back to the streets.
