About Me

D. Noble was born and raised in Greensboro, NC. He is the son of Phillip and Iona Noble who hail from Raleigh, NC and Birmingham, AL respectively. As a youth, his parents made him aware of their upbringing in the racist Jim Crow South. They taught him the value of black cultural pride and to never compromise your sense of self for white mainstream acceptance.As a child, D. Noble learned to appreciate the gamut of black music. While his father spent most of his spare time listening to the blues and jazz, D. Noble's older brother, Phillip Jr., taught him the importance of Rap music, which would serve as the catalyst for D. Noble's love affair with words. Hip Hop pioneers such as Public Enemy, KRS ONE, X Clan, etc. showed D. Noble that the English language can be used as a weapon to strike back against a racist social infrastructure engineered to opporess black people. This fomenting idea of fighting back with words was later crystalized for D. Noble after he read the monumental texts of SOUL ON ICE by Elridge Cleaver and THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X in middle school. This began the molding of D. Noble's black nationalist sensibility... And dare we say that the rest is history?!!
