Bio

Hidden away in cloud of unsigned talent and unheard hype, a group of inspiring young artist screams for recognition from beneath the underground rap world. The duo consisting of rapper Charles “Trematic” Singleton and producer Jason “Action” McNeely is 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. Being 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, the guys 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. Like a lot of groups, Unseen split after going through minor differences and difficulties amongst each other. 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. The time apart seemed to leave the young men in an alarming stand still. When Action unexpectedly returned later that year, TreAction wasted no time getting back to work. Influenced by East Coast rawness and West Coast groove, TreAction combined the best of both worlds into their own flavor of hardcore hip-hop. 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 to the streets. In 1999, they created their own Entertainment company named Lettin Off Enterianment. The first release off their label is appropriately titled Dissimilar Styles. This compilation displays the versatile talents of TreAction, along with labelmates Madd Squad and Poetiq. Songs such as “The Upgraded Ones (What What)”, “Bob Your Head”, and “Gifted” are a few examples of hits that has the Long Beach underground buzzing. TreAction has performed live at many local venues around the area. Some include the Ivar Theatre in Hollywood, Chreese Records show events in Inglewood, and the Galaxy Theatre in Orange County. Also, you might find the two rap fanatics on the public broadcasting airwaves at Charter Communications studios in Long Beach and the Cable Company of Inglewood CA. TA (TreAction) music brings substance over nonsense. Taking the listener on a rollercoaster ride of new sound. Whether its hip-hop in its purest form, nightclub rumpshaker or some West Coast “G-funk”, TreAction can flip it. Come into the world of TA and experience a musical rush never before touched. Thank you, TreAction
