The Dayton Family is an American Gangsta Rap group from Flint, Michigan. The group is composed of Ira Dorsey, Raheen Peterson, and Matt Hinkle, who perform under the respective personas of Bootleg, Shoestring, and Backstabba. The name Dayton Family derives from Dayton Street, one of the most crime-ridden streets in their hometown.
Musical career
Early history (1993–2005)
In 1993, Ira Dorsey and Raheen Peterson met through their younger brothers. The two began writing together, under the names Bootleg and Shoestring, and created their first song, "Dope Dayton Ave." Rapper Matt Hinkle soon joined the duo under the name Backstabba. The group began working with local producer Steve Pitts and formed The Dayton Family, named after Dayton Avenue, one of the most crime-ridden streets in their hometown of Flint, Michigan. In between studio sessions, they performed at local clubs and quickly gain notoriety within Flint.
The Dayton Family recorded a 12-inch single and soon signed with Atlanta independent record label Po Broke in 1995. That year, the group released their debut album What's on My Mind? and were featured on No Limits Down South Hustlers: Bouncin' and Swingin' compilation album, which got the trio recognition throughout Southern United States. After the album's release, Hinkle was imprisoned and replaced by Dorse's younger brother Eric, who performed under the name Ghetto E. Following a year of touring, the group left Po Broke due to legal problems with the label's producer and signed with Russ Entertainment .
The Virginia and Truckee 18 Dayton is a historic standard gauge steam locomotive. The Dayton is on display in Virginia City, Nevada. It spent its working life on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad.
The locomotive was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the Inyo, because of their association with the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and transportation development in Nevada
The Dayton, a 4-4-0 "American", was built in 1873 by the Central Pacific Railroad, in Sacramento, California, and was based on the design of the CP's 173 engine. The locomotive weighs 78,000 pounds (35,000 kg), has 60 inches (150 cm) driving wheels, and carried 2,500 US gallons (9,500 l; 2,100 imp gal) of water and 3 cords of wood. A large snow plow was fixed to the front of the locomotive in 1879, and it performed snow clearing duties on the Virginia & Truckee lines during the winters for most of its operational life, in addition to its normal passenger hauling duties.

Welcome to the Dopehouse
by: Dayton FamilyShoeString:
A simple wish can get you killed and get you gone like this
Just put that pistol in his mouth and you won't ever miss
A simple wish is all I need and thats gone do the job
Get you set up get you wet up like the fucking mob
A simple wish from my lips left his bones broken
A simple rock from my hands got his mom smoking
A simple wish fuck with this and you gone pay the price
My niggas busting at your ass like we the fucking vice
I wish to kill him
I wish I had the stress to fill him
I wish this damn fool fell on his ass and dont nobody feel him
I wish your old man would walk up and blast your ass
I wish your dick was your face and your head your ass
You just a wish away from dying so stop lying
And all them haters trying to live you can stop trying
Just wishing that this Dayton gang could reveal the truth
Like Ali said I fight that ass in a phone booth
A simple wish and I know that's all you fakers took
A simple wish and your whole fucking block is shook
A simple wish and you gone have to do some thinking
Looking stupid while your motherfucking ship was sinking
I wish that you was in the street when i was in my car
I wish that you hadnt got shot while you was at the bar
So when you see that nigga scream dont you get missed
Cause all it takes to fuck you up is a simple wish
Sometimes I wish you bitches would quit playing on my phone
What the fuck do you wish?
I wish I never snorted cocaine but my consience says that's wrong
Don't stop on the block with your glock and I wish
And I wish I never lost my oldest cousin from my rivals slug
My wishes don't come true sometimes so I'm hoping for another one
Make a simple wish
