Montana of 300 is a Chicago rapper who’s music talks about his graphic childhood and who’s music videos have a collective 180 million views. Now Montana has two kids and would rather be a good father than have a reputation on the street. Cody Perkins and myself went on a small tour with Montana and his crew, FGE (Fly Guy Entertainment), to help shoot a documentary on the musical and social validity of rap music. During the tour we shot this series of images.

Every show, Montana explains how some of his more violent lyrics are written from memories. He explains that he doesn’t want to glorify that lifestyle, he’d rather spend time with his family. Photo: Cody Perkins
