Dj Midas is a talented producer and compelling lyricist with a fresh, authentic brand of southern Hip-Hop. Midas grew up on the impoverished, crime ridden westside of Greenwood, South Carolina. He began his music career making tracks for and rapping with a local hip-hop group called Kross Da Trax Boyz. His talents for creating beats as well as his strong lyrical ability caught the attention of Dirt Road Entertainment, a music management company based in Atlanta, GA, which now manages his career. He currently resides in Atlanta, GA.Dj Midas’ music has an authentic southern feel to it, however lyrically he can hold his own with artists from any region. His early exposure to life in the street comers across in the content of his music. However, Yung Midas chooses not to limit his music to just the streets. He wrote and produced his current single, "I’m Street". This cutting-edge track incorporates synthesizers reminiscent of Phil Collins over heavy bass kicks. Midas’ exposure to different genres of music is evident in the diversity of the types of tracks that he is able to create. When asked about his formula for creating tracks, he responded; "I have several different formulas. I could compose all the tracks on my album and people would think that I worked with 5 or 6 different producers." The innovative track "Stunt Like Chucky" is a catchy street anthem which combines an infectious hook, witty lyrics and a heavy bass track. Dj Midas is one of the most highly sought after underground producers in Atlanta. Many local artists depend on him to provided them with production, song arrangement and writing. Midas is currently working with Brandon Stylez McKinney of 78 Elements to complete his first official album as a Dirt Road artist. Brandon, an accomplished music producer and engineer, has worked with many established artists of all genres such as TLC, The Doll and Izzy. Upon the completion of his first recording session Mr. McKinney said of Dj Midas, "I’ve worked with many artists over the years and have never gone into the studio and left with THE hit single on the first try". JJ, the manager of Dirt Road Entertainment, was recently asked what was so special about Midas. "He has everything that you could ask for in an artist. He can write, arrange and produce songs with very little direction." South Carolina finally has an artist that can open the door. The public can look forward to a debut album from Dj Midas in the Summer.
