this photo seems like it was taken so long ago. In November of 2010 me, my brother, and Cyrus Harper, teamed up to throw a concert to raise money to feed less fortunate families in the northeastern Ohio area. the concert was wildly successful and we were able to feed 500 plus people for the Thanksgiving holiday. in this photo, we are currently at save a lot in the back loading up the turkeys to deliver to the Boys and Girls Club so they may distribute them to the families. this was a very proud moment for me because I was able to utilize all of my talents and direct them towards feeding and helping the less fortunate. you must always use your gifts to help those in a lesser position than you. // #TheNorthsiderEP // #DKALLDAY // www.ExecutiveDTown.com

#tbt. Always check on your friends when they disappear or start to isolate themselves. You never know what they may be going through and if you can help them through it. This was the last pic me and my boy ever took together before he passed & I learned that lesson the hard way... R.I.P. CT // #TheNorthsiderEP // #DKALLDAY // www.ExecutiveDTown.com

I got started in music when I was younger in Youngstown, OH. I studied music in school, but the first rap album I bought was Q-Tip "Amplified." I really liked the singles and it inspired me to write my own rhymes. Before long, I was rhyming in cyphers at school, battling, and performing live at talent shows. My brother, a group of friends, and myself transitioned into recording our own music. We wanted to be the best lyricists and have the craziest bars anyone ever heard. Although I've grown a lot, that much has stayed the same. I am striving to earn a spot on YOUR "Top 10 Rappers" list. // #TheNorthsiderEP // #DKALLDAY // www.ExecutiveDTown.com

Today, I had the opportunity to speak with a class in Youngstown city schools about the music industry. I spent most of the time answering questions about my career and accomplishments. With each answer, I was able to deliver critical insight based on my experience in the industry. I also ensured that my responses focused on hard work, dedication, practice, and educating yourself on the industry in one way or another. As a product of Youngstown City Schools, I've always wanted to speak to the youth and inspire them to do positive things. When I began rapping in high school, I was met with negativity from my peers and at times I felt as if I was an outcast for wanting to perfect my craft. I told myself that if I ever found myself in a position where I could encourage others, I would do just that. This meant as much to me as it did to the students. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity. #Youngstown #TheNorthsiderEP ➡ www.ExecutiveDTown.com
