Dirty Mouth was leader of the school's snare drum line along with writing his own rhymes, Don P was rapping and working on producing beats with his keyboard, and Lil LA (aka Lil Atlanta) was an aspiring promoter, later to become a rapper himself. Lil LA guaranteed and delivered a packed house every time the group hit the stage as young Atlanta took to their new crunk sound. Over the years Lil LA joined with his own raps and the group named themselves Trillville, a combination of "truth" and "real." Lil Jon attended one of the group's sold-out shows and soon had them signed to the BME label. Their single "Neva Eva" started heading up the charts in late 2003, with the full-length King of Crunk & BME Recordings Present: Trillville following in early 2004.
