Biography

Being the younger cousin to Kurupt exposed a young Travis Mulrain very early to music, wanting to rap as early as seven. Growing up in Philadelphia rapping to instrumental tapes, Travis adopted the moniker Rex, and has been known as such ever since. In 1998, when Kurupt visited Philly to record the "Ask Yourself A Question" music video, a 12-year-old Rex met Dr. Dre. This experience only made the music industry all the more obtainable to him. In 2001, Ez began to structure songs once he met a young Cardiak in middle school. Working on over 200 songs with Cardiak allowed Rex to put together an assortment of projects.

Working closely with Cardiak took a turn when assisting on references became Lloyd Banks' "Unexplainable" with Styles P. This shifted the vision to producing. Diving so far into perfecting his sound as a producer finally paid off big in 2017 when R2 got on major albums like Tank's Savage. Co-producing the record "You Belong to Me" with Cardiak only tightened their bond to continue the workflow in more capacities. R2DaEz briskly stepped into the conversation when he produced Troy Ave's "Mind State" from 2021's Kill Or Be Killed. Knowing the power of momentum, Ez dropped his next project, RADAR. RADAR takes a quick but deep dive into having so much experience and success and still having room for doubt. Rex takes you into thoughts of struggles of still having much to prove with much already under his belt.

Now back with a new energetic EP, Consumer Debt, boasting "loyalty is everything when you live with purpose." With decades of experience, R2DaEz now stands today with over 15 million production streams. Writing songs for names like Audio Push and DarnellRoy, Rex is a triple threat not so obvious. Now considering a heightened interest in teams, R2 is currently building the wave of new artists to take over the game with his imprint, Cerebro Society.
