From beneath the surface rises a new hope for the darkened truth of hip hop!  Insanity arrives originally from Cincinnati by way of Atlanta to reveal his latest effort – The Occult EP.  This project is just a seat warmer to the forthcoming LP – God Knowz My Name. 

For years, Insanity has set out to display his talent with a wicked pulse-beating presence to validate a spot in our culture.  The new EP, with a running time of 22 minutes, only has you curious and craving more of the unknown talent from the other side.  “Minion” starts off the more than human debut followed by the heartbreaking “My Work is Done.”  Insanity continues to show the consumer versatility beyond belief.

In the heart of the city and the home of Hip-Hop (aka the Bronx, NY) a star was born, known to the streets and soon the world as Dolo the Bandit.  Usually the bad guy is the villain, but in this unique situation, he is the hero – here to rescue Hip-Hop from its kidnappers who have No Honor, No Pride, and a Lack of Skills.  He is a rare breed in an ever changing era of rap music.  This young emcee has not only captured the essence of what it takes to be a great rapper, he is steadily acquiring the talents to be a great musician and change music history. 

As an artist, Dolo quickly reinvented himself into a machine.  Not only was he a lyrical slaughterhouse, but with a shortage of beat makers, he began bang out his own productions that would match his assault of wordplays.  Before he finished high school, Dolo composed a catalog of songs not only for himself, but for the Werk Regime/PaperWerk camp.  CEO D.Gritty (of the superstar Harlem group The Teamstas) quickly noticed and acquainted himself with Dolo, adding fuel to a fire that could not be extinguished.  After countless music, a few mixtapes, some shows and some recognition in the neighborhood, Dolo was becoming a local name and celebrity.  With the summer ending, Dolo expanded his horizons by aligning forces with Bravo, Swiss, and Salgoud of AF1, which has become a creative masterpiece.  Since combining their forces, Dolo has been infiltrating the industry slowly and silently as a true bandit.

Dolo has had impactful performances at places such as the Pyramid, PJ Lounge, The Kokonuts Club, and the Sofa Lounge.    His performances are truly creative and bring that showmanship to his fans.  He was featured as an opening act for Red Cafe at Sweet Carolines and What’s Bigger than Hip-Hop.  His showcases include Get Your Buzz Up, Hip-Hop Unplugged, a win at Sucker Proof Free, and the grand prize winner of a beat from Platinum producer Scram Jones for Monsei’s Hot 97 Showcase at the TBA lounge.
