Born and raised in Austin, TX, Reginald Orlando Hart Jr AKA G Rasta1k is the owner and music artist of GrindTime1k. Living with his mother and stepfather up till the age of 14, G Rasta1k was forced to find love from the streets. The older role models of the streets taught him what he needed to know to stay ahead. Adopting fairly quickly, G Rasta1k was living the life until Aug. 13th, 2006. He welcomed his first baby girl, Harmony Symone Hart into the world. Before he could really get adjusted to life as a father, his first son was born a few years later. With two children, and still heavy in the streets, G Rasta1k took his love for music to another level with freestyling. Finding inspiration from southern artists such as S.U.C, Ghetto Boys, Master P, Zro, Lil O, Fat Pat, Do or Die and so many more. He expanded his music range and found inspiration from Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Biggie, Jay-Z, 50 cent, Big Pun, Big L, Michael Jackson, Prince, and so many more various artists. The one person who inspired him the most was his younger brother Silas. Silas started the brand ABM(All Bout Money). The brand was delayed due to legal problems and spending a year in jail. The summer of 2014 he returned home to finish what he and his brother had started. But the universe delivered something G Rasta1k could never imagine. The tragic death of his brother Silas caused him to fall into a deep depression and question life. This life changing event landed G Rasta1k into the Shoal Creek Mental Institution. Released finally with a better mind frame, he set out to create a brand that represents his life as a whole. The birth of GrindTime1k. A brand that represents grind, hustle, discipline, love and peace
