Details:
D-BOY is a rapper/producer from New Orleans, LA. With a voice and a flow that is quickly getting the industry's attention, D-BOY is primed to drop his debut album, Wordz From a Tortured Soul, in early 2006. The CD will be released on his own imprint, HARDLIFE RECORDS.
Always being an avid fan of rap/hiphop, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that D decided to give music a serious thought. "I used to write rhymes in school and stuff like that, but I never really put songs together as far as hooks and verses and concepts. Now its like a drug to me man- my music really is my therapy. Just to be able to express myself lyrically, and musically, really helps me to deal with shit that has gone on in my life."
Not being able to get beats fast enough, D-BOY began producing, and people on the underground scene began noticing. Now, he is hitting them from both directions-as an artist and producer. "I started doing tracks because dudes couldn't keep up with me. I had all these ideas and songs and visions and no music to bust on. I come from a musical family, music's in my bloodline. So I copped a keyboard and started producing. I had to weed out a couple of cats in the process, but after that I didn't have to depend on anybody." That's when D decided to start his own label, HARDLIFE RECORDS. "We gonna hit 'em underground first and the rest will take care of itself," says D. Judging from the buzz, it most certainly will.
