About Me

THE DIME is an American rap/soul music group from Richmond, California consisting of Chioke Jelani Clanton, Faron "Nightshift" Griffin, and formerly Dallas Wahpepah. The Dime are associated with West Coast hip hop music. Despite the popularity of the hyphy movement and it's music in the Bay Area, The Dime's music has been self described as "Refreshing East Bay Soul." The Dime's music reflects the tumultuous environment the group grew up in, incorporating poetic thought provoking rhymes and soulful melodic messages in it's sound. The groups sound is unique in that at times it's reminiscent of the doo wop sound of the 50's, the Motown and Flower Power sound of the 60's, as well as lyric driven hip hop music of the 90's.THE GOOD WAR trailer, Directed by Andre Welsh aka Normandy.Music video for Kilograms, from The Dime release, Rain Makes It PerfectMySpace Layouts - Get This Layout
