Artist name: Tha Dude Birth Place: Long Beach Ca. Genre: Hip Hop Well I, Tha Dude, found hip hop aways from home in a Lil town called Lima Ohio. It really wasn't much to do out that way but stir up trouble and did I stir until a friend of mine detoured me with this thing I call my life now "Music". Music is a god send to me because it saved me from what I was destin for... death or jail and a life of hell. Even tho music glorifies those aspect of hip hop its help me to gain a scoop and to maneuver myself through the bullshit, play it smart and cool like those hustlers taught me. To be mindful and intelligent. Though we exploit this ghetto life thru song I'm trying to up lift that ghetto boy or girl and stop the plagues that plagued us as kids while bringing joy to the ears of the local communities like one big ol communion coming together to my music.....
