I introduce to you D.N.P He’s an artist who is very creative, skillful, persistent, and always striving to go further each day. He’s very humble, and hungry for success, consistently grinding to do what he loves,,,, music. He comes from a family with parents who were always there for him, though they just chose not to hand feed him. His father always said “ if you need something, do what you have to do to get it” and that what he does. By the age of 10, he was already making runs, and by 13, he ran the streets at full speed. D.N.P’s name stems from a quote his grandfather made. At a young age, his grandfather knew of him running the streets and from time to time would say “look, if you gone do it, do it right. Only chase dollars and power, for with dollars comes power, and everything else will fall into place”. And from that jewel is how his name came to be. Dollars N Power. Music was always in the picture for him, but if seemed to always fall second. After a couple of involuntary vacations, he decided to go hard at it in 2004. His first test came in 2003 at WZMX Hot 93.7’s Roc-Da-Mic contest during Roc-A-Fella’s, Roc-Da-Mic Tour, in which only 10 of Connecticut’s best rappers would be entered. Out of thousands of rappers calling in and spitting, he was of the chosen few, and the only who didn’t pursue music at the time. His work ethic is like none others.
