BIO: In an era where "keeping it real" has turned into an idealized concept of pop culture it has become extremely difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. However even the most skeptical critic can't deny "THE TRUTH." Young Dre, or Drizzle as he is referred to by those close to him, first began honing his prolific rhyme skills while still in grade school. After winning a poetry contest Young Dre began to develop an appreciation for the impact that the delivery of strategically placed words could have on people. This experience served as the catalyst for the Seattle-born, South-Central raised rapper's motivation to begin penning rhymes that would be an accurate reflection of his real life experience as opposed to commercial propaganda. He speaks what he lives. As each lyric is laid, even the most casual ear will be drawn to the uniquely skillful flow that Young Dre delivers. Whether the tempo is fast, slow, grimy or non-existent his unparalleled talent allows him the versatility to manipulate the track to create true music that invokes thought and conversation. His uncensored biographical commentaries are arguably his greatest assets. A careful listen to his lyrics reveal installments into a life of evolving turmoil, triumph and determination. Violence is not glorified as sport; rather the narratives reflect the reality of the means necessary for his survival. His honesty is painfully refreshing.
