Riley performs under the name ‘213 Jugg god' and has released music videos on YouTube.His latest song is "Make it Home", and he refers to robbing ATMs.

The Houston Police Officers' Union mocked him in a Facebook post after his arrest, saying:

"Irony: When you make a rap song called "Make It Home", about bank jugging and hitting ATMs out of state, and then don't make it home to Houston."

Jugging is slang for following unsuspecting victims to rob them.

The police union also noted that Riley was already out on felony bond with a long rap sheet.
