He would also release his own multi-platinum hit “Wanna Be A Baller” His son T2, was poised to follow in his father's footsteps and achieve music stardom however an 8-year prison sentence brought T2’s dreams to a halt. After his son's incarceration, Troy lost his love for the music business and he began to live a civilian life working as a safety manager. Troy would do so for 12 years until the pandemic where he was laid off for a year. While working he had started a trucking company in 2017 that was dormant. Being that he no longer wanted to return to work, he decided to go full time into his company. Troy would go and get his CDL, drive for himself and the rest as they say is history.

The Trucking Industry has provided opportunities and attracted many individuals from all walks of life.
Philadelphia Hip-Hop Legend Spade-O blazed a trail for many young “philly spitters” in the late ’90s with his group “Major Figgis,” which also featured other dope artists such as Gillie The Kid, Dutch, Ab Liva & Bianca.
At the time, The Record Industry was new to Spade-O and being from the streets he did not fully comprehend the opportunity that lay ahead. He would end up incarcerated succumbing to the street life.
Spade-O would serve a 12-year sentence. During this time he would change his life and his mindset was now determined to get a fresh start and positively impact his community.
Not too long after release, Spade-O would get his CDL and hit the road. He enjoyed trucking and the freedom it brought. After some time, he began taking the steps to build his own trucking company A&B Global Transport, which now has a fleet of trucks.
Today, Spade-O is determined to help others by providing job opportunities that will eventually lead to business ownership and keep people from making the same mistakes that he did.
