Representing Richmond, he landed his first deal with C-Bo's AWOL Records. His own independent hustle led him to regional success and radio play through his hit single "Tycoonin." Along the way, he dropped a string of collaborations with The Jacka and eventually became part of E-40's Sick Wid It Records. After Jacka's death, he dropped the name Laroo and reinvented himself as Hitta Slim.
