DXNEXT, AND AN UNFORGETTABLE STORY ON WB11 NEWS WITH JIM WATKINS.HE HAS RELEASED MANY ALBUMS INDEPEDENTLY INCLUDED "ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED, GOOD MOURNING AMERICA, CLAP MUSIK, GENIUS LOVES COMPANY,& THE BEST OF BEING ME.THE NEWEST ADDITION IS THE MIXTAPE "THE HYBRID THEORY"."MY OVERAL GOAL IS TO REACH MILLIONS,TO BRAKE DOWN BARRIES AND MIX GENRES SO MY MIXTAPE IS JUST A GLIMPSE OF WHATS TO COME' HIS NEW ALBUM "THE AVIATOR" IS STILL IN THE WORKS.
