Not* Just* An* Artist
He Has an Independent Label, N.U. Breed (Acronym defined as: Naturally-Unique) and his self-proclaimed branding as the “Gangsta-Humanitarian."
Best Advice from a O.G. of his @bigfoxxdmv :
“ Always
check your money; Regardless of who the transaction is with. And if they happen
to get offended that you opt to check your money then there is a possibility
that they’re on some #bs..."
The quote at
the beginning of the song “RESILIENCE”
Off of his debut album (Track #6) DOGMA –
(Dog Eat Dog) where it says: Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by
those that dare believe, that something within them is superior to
circumstance. - Bruce Barton
Current Album is titled DOGMA - (Dog Eat Dog)
MAKE some noise for Forest Heights, Maryland’s own: Y'man Dog!!!! He’s from a town in
Prince George County, Maryland, United States. It’s a part of the larger city
of Oxon Hill, MD that’s iconic for the new National Harbor Conference Center
and Resort.
He’s a songwriter and recording Artist who thinks of himself to be a “Lyrical-MC”
He’s fluent with songwriting therefore he creates his own material; and from a
lyricist’s perspective he’s excellent at painting pictures with words that
build songs like an architect...so he’s pretty much both.
He writes
ALL of his lyrics and for this project he did collaborate with some dope talent
to complete choruses and hooks on this album: @raythemoonchild (Resilience, Dog
Eat Dog), @Blumondale (Tonight’s Tha Nite, So Into You), @__voyce (I Ain’t
Lookin’) so check out the finished product!
The main
reason he got into writing songs was due to his intolerance for messing up
during freestyles. He also wanted to be able to remember hot lines and phrases
afterwards so he opted to become a writer. As far as being inspired by another
individual musically, he shares that the earlier albums of: 2Pac,
Nas, T.R.U., WU-TANG Clan, Spice-1, U.G.K., Jay-Z, Redman, and Geto Boys
inspired his lyrical inception.
Artists work hard on music daily but every now and they create song that really pushes their limits and undeniably, that nomination goes to: 'RESILIENCE' as his favorite song.
The dedication and commitment to finishing this project made Y'man Dog super-selective
about the instrumental chosen to marry the lyrics of this song. He personally shares: “It's just that feeling
you get as an Artist when you feel that you've superseded your expectations
with track production. Shout out to @makaihbeats for the epic instrumental!” In
getting hyped about his favorite track he had a few other tracks like 'WORTH', I AIN'T LOOKIN',
and TONIGHT'S THA NITE he was passionate about too!
Many Artists start out with a grand dream but in the 30 to 40 performances and showcases part of that moment happened
at his most memorable stage performance which took place in Mantanzas, Cuba at
the 2018 Urban Hip-Hop Music Festival.
The English translations of the tracks he performed may have been in English
but the body language of head nods and dances mixed with cameras flashing with
cheer verified that the vibes of Y'man Dog were accepted in the Cuban community
with love and admiration. So, Shout out he says “to @africandiasporaalliance ,
@omarmartinez5034 , @linda_stansbury for providing me with the best
accommodations and dope memories abroad.” That’s love!
Anyone who does music has at least one Major Artist that inspires them but this genius mind has a few Artist like: Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, J.
Cole, 2 Chains, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, YG, 21 Savage, Bardi and Moneybagg Yo
that he could name. The his reason he chose these Artists he shares “is solely
because of their reputations in executing phenomenal tracks/performances.
Period.”
We are extremely excited to see all the Great things that happen next! He
is continuing to pray and work in accordance of the blessings that he’s ask to
receive, he shares “Reach For The Stars!” with enthusiasm. He’s staying focused
as he politics and networks with professionals that can assure progressive
track production, quality song collaboration, epic video treatment & production,
lucrative management opportunities, significant placements, as well as various
show bookings and or tour possibilities. He considers himself to be a Career
Artist so having longevity is his duty in order for him to ultimately succeed
in this industry, so as far as his music Career that’s greatly solidified!
NEXT MOVES
