The Son of Birmingham
RIPCORD
Built in Birmingham. Forged through experience. Ripcord turns real life into records.
Straight from Birmingham's Westside, Ripcord's story began long before the recording booth. Music was part of his foundation from an early age — reading music, playing drums and singing in choir before life took him down a much different road.
After facing the realities of the streets and incarceration, he redirected that same hunger into music and entrepreneurship, launching Street Fame Entertainment and Skybox Music Publishing. His music carries the perspective of someone who has lived the stories he tells.
More Than Music

From Birmingham streets to recording studios and stages across the country, every chapter becomes part of the music.
