My name is Dallas. Yeah, thats my real name. Mom was a cowboys fan from way back. I grew up in Peoria IL, and came to Lake of the Ozarks MO in 91'. Around the turn of the century I got out on my own and began living in Columbia MO. I started writing and recording hip hop in early 2001. The first songs were mainly just a bunch of party anthems that got played by our close friends, and that was it. I've been taking it a lot more serious in the last three years. I have started a family with the woman of my dreams and her two awesome boys. This has slowed down the process (of making music) for me a little, but made the quality of what I do put out, so much better. She is my motivation, 100 percent.
Dead Beat Productions is what I've been claiming for almost seven years now. A google search on that name let me know that would NOT be the name we would use for the music biz. It started as my boy Drew, and myself. Rapping at house parties and making low budget discs in one of our many bedroom studios we've used. Then comes Eric Bizzle and DJ SAVAHO. E-Nuts was a fantastic find lyrically speaking, and Drew was stepping back to focus on school at the time so it worked well. We did a few things, but nothing to really get out there.
Fast forward almost four years. I had been saving money, building a working studio, and writing material for what seemed like forever. I guess I was also dreaming for the day when I would meet someone who made beats that I liked. Berry's shit was dope, but it was geared for his style. That was the only concern for me. Then, through the amazing powers of the Coffman family, I met DJ Dead Llama. He is a good producer already and he is just getting started in this profession. I have for some reason, been meeting so many amazing people, and talented musicians for years now. I have great feelings for the future of my music thanks to all of the kick-ass people that I have in my corner. Thanks for giving a damn about local music, Dallas.
