Dubbed as one of Chicago's next big stars, Doughboy has been at it for a while now. Receiving his name as an infant from his grandfather due to the resemblance to the famous Poppin Fresh character, Doughboy felt no need to create a pseudonym to perform under.Since founding the crew 1500's in 1996 with former schoolmates Lupe Fiasco, Napo, and Bishop G, Dough has been through his share of ups and downs. But now better and stronger than ever, he is primed for the big time. Dough found out the hard way that the streets are a dead end road to prison and death; on August 1, 1998, his cousin, Diamond ''BeBe'' Henson was killed.After the 1500s crew went their separate ways, Dough, like his friend Fiasco, decided not only to embark on a solo career, but also start his own label, 1500 Entertainment, named to pay homage to his humble beginnings. Seeing potential in his running mates, Hitman, QP, and Trigga Gunnz, he recruited them to join his label roster. Through his younger brother, Dough hooked up with producer and budding emcee Rob Dutch, putting the most important piece to any musical team: fitting production.Now with Vol. 2 of his Golden Mic Mixtape series on deck, and a slew of albums in the vault, 1500 Entertainment is poised for greatness. Opting to put the drug and gang life on the backburner for his destiny, Doughboys ready to hit you with Chicago hip hop classics.
