My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/15/2005
Band Website: doveink.com
Band Members: *Da Vu - MC, Vocalist, Poet Extrodinare. Rustbelt Slam Champ. Pitt. Massive/Electric Ave. /The Sun Do Move/Glory Be 7" After moving to the west coast last year Davu is working hard to bring something very special to the world with his music. Nobody has or ever will sound like this Davu he is simple 1 in a 1,000,000.

Currently - working on his fisrt solo project Vu's Mood's due out in 2008 and enjoying life out in the Bay area.

*Danger Zone - Bru Lei and Amos Famous have collaborated to create our newest album release, Dangerous Styles. Raw HipHop is back and Danger Zone is leading the new generation of rising artists. Danger Zone reminds us of what we have strayed from far too long, hiphop in its purest form. Slamming boom-bap beats from producer Amos Famous lay the perfect backdrop for the gritty and grimy stories and imagery from Emcee Bru Lei. Special guest appearances from Illogic, Ill Poetic, Npayshint, & Marley Emcee.

*Perphery - Funk Specialist, Drum digging fool. Memphix/Fire 7"

Currently - can be found on the side of a milk carton. where is he??? Who Knows???

*Illogic - From Urbs next 100 to the Orpanage (with Slug, Aesop, Eyedea, and Blueprint) this man has blazed a path in the underground helping to put Ohio on the map. There's a lot of things we could say but we suggest you just let his music speak for itself. Weightless/Write To Death Two

Currently - shopping his new album "Make Moves" due out early 08 and working on Dove Inks Mix tape that will be out for our spring tours. did you say spring tours???? Well yes i did! Dates will be up soon!!!!

*Aaron Evans formerly known as Eyamme - Founder and CEO of Dove Ink Aaron Evans works hard to produce a wide range of music. from Jazz to boom bap to the more abstract, Aaron's sound is like no other. This is what happens when a artists whole goal is to break down walls. W.T.D 1/Wonderful Day 7"/Only Give you Love 7"/W.T.D. 2

Currently - he is working on production for Seeds (Illogic, Ill Poetic and Aaron Evans), Illogic's next project and a few low key secrets. Get used to the name he's not going anywhere.

*Claude 9 - You can smell him coming a block away, due to the big cloud of smoke. 1/2 of "The Green Brothers". This cat has and is pure fun. So who wants to burn one???

Currently - getting ready for the "Everybodys Green" tour in march with Apoc out on the west coast and makeing new Green Brothers tracks (i tell you something "i was fucked up") it will all ass up soon.

*HighWay 411 - Chicago massive, he told me his girl likes to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time. Better half of "The Green Brothers" Can also be found over @ EV Records rocking with Modill. If you've never partied with hiway you've never partied!

Currently - Working on more new projects than we can keep track out but expect big things from this artist in the future.

*Ill Poetic - Ill Poetic brings a new more soulful sound to the label. his new album "The World Is Ours" will be out May and he'll be out on tour all spring with us so make sure you come out and get to know what everybody in Cincinnati already knows. Ill Po is Ice Cold!!

Curently - Working on the Seeds new album, Hitting on your girl, or making new tracks for everybody and there mom. (yea, your mom raps behind your back, for real.)

*DJ Sleepyhead - From Mixtapes to Battle sets to Party Rockin this DJ can do it all. Keep a eye out for Sleep on Blitz, Play Havoc, Davu and Green Brothers albums in stores now. As well as on WWAR the mix tape. Don't fuck with sleep... He's the cousin of death you know.

Currently - Diving into the production realm and mastering his turntable skills it's a sure thing that we'll see a lot more of sleep over the next few years.

*Seeds - Get ready to see the growth from Illogic, Ill Poetic and Aaron Evans
