When you see him on the grind show some love for you boy. Real hiphop is what Dante is about. If you are tired of the hollywood studio enginered bubblegum gangsta rap, if you are into real music with a purpose, then you will love what you hear from Dante.Dante is an extremely talented and versitily artist who's style is considered a collaboration of genres ranging from Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B. Being a music admirer that lived in Detroit and now Charlotte, his style has been influenced by the midwest, eastcoast and downsouth flavors. The 'Dante Style' is a mixture of east coast hard hitting drums, midwest soul samples, and down south 808's and baselines topped with double sometimes triple layered thought provoking vocals. It is truly his own. He is considered soul, conscious and street all at the same time. His music is a reflection of what he has experienced and learned in life, the good, bad and ugly. Dante vows to never lie on a record and never glorify the "ghetto" so you won't hear him rapping much about ignorant subject matter.
