Born in the mid 1980’s in the gang and drug infested city of Compton, Ca. Deuce was given a first hand look at the reality of ghetto America. Being raised in such a troubled community has had a major influence on him, as a man, and as an artist. It has taught him that tomorrow isn’t promised, which ignites his drive and excellent work ethic.
He began free styling at the age of 11, and at 12 he began writing rhymes, used as his way to vent his frustration due to the untimely death of his brother. He passed time by experimenting with lyrics, drum machines, and turntables that his parents bought him for Christmas. But it was writing lyrics that kept his attention at all times.
In the summer of 2004 Deuce began to take rapping seriously, deciding that this would be his career of choice. He formed a group called “The Hustlas†with group mates Black and Ding. In March of 2007, after a few years, nearly 100 songs, and several potential record deals that never materialized, he decided to pursue a solo career.
Since then he has released a mixtape “Patiently waiting vol. 1†which gave listeners a vivid look at life through the eyes of a young man growing up in the ghetto. This included street favorites Perfect Beat, and Bonafide Hustla. He’s currently working on his second mixtape “Patiently Waiting vol. 2â€, which should hit the streets late spring 2008.
Deuce has an unusual ability to rap about subjects that would be categorized as “consciousâ€, such as politics, and poverty but does it in such a heartfelt way he has formed a strong connection with the streets. He states “ I refuse to compromise myself as an artist, I will say what needs to be said but will do so in a way that everyone can relate to, one way or anotherâ€. With his god given talent, relentless work ethic, and ability to captivate listeners, leaving them hanging on the every word, Deuce will be a force in Hip Hop for many years to come. Get ready!!;
