Born Roderick Anthony Burton II, he was an American rapper widely known by his stage name, Main. As a key member of the hip hop group Da Razkalz Cru, Main made early waves in the music scene with raw talent and passion. He first gained commercial attention through a hit single featuring Akon and T-Pain, marking a promising start to what could have been a groundbreaking career. Tragically, Main was shot and killed outside a Los Angeles shopping mall following a heated altercation—a devastating end to a life full of potential. At the time of his passing, Main was deeply involved in crafting his debut album, pouring his energy into shaping a unique sound that reflected his journey.

Before fame came knocking, Main had already begun laying the foundation for his musical path. He formed Da Razkalz Cru at a young age, originally performing under the name Bucklyte. Later on, he teamed up with fellow rapper Streetz to create The Gang, further expanding his presence in the underground rap scene. Life hadn’t been easy for Main—his twin brother passed away at birth, and he suffered the loss of his father to suicide when he was just five years old. Despite these hardships, Main continued to pursue his dreams with resilience. On the family side, Main shared blood ties with notable figures in the industry—his cousins are Scrapp Deleon and SAS, both recognized names in their own right. Throughout it all, Main remained focused, driven by a vision that, though cut short, left a lasting impression.
