Rapper D.O.A. hits the scene with a fresh new single right in time for the summer season when everyone is outside. He has always branded himself on having his own lane and being the greatest to ever do it! As an artist we often take time out to find ourselves, live life, deal with challenges, even work to make more money to fund our career and these are all some of the obstacles that he has managed to hurdle over. Over the span of 10 years, he has been in the music lane horning in on his sound and finding his lane.
After taking a break for the final time in 2021, D.O.A. decided to take his career seriously whole heartedly, and promised himself to never give up on his craft. A pivotal moment in his artistry came when he realized that many musicians are not making music for the art of creating and are coming into the rap game copying off what is deemed as ‘popular’.
