DOUG DOES Music

Growing up in Naples, Florida, DOUG (also known as Middle Doug,because there are lots of Lil’s and one too many Bigs) is undoubtedly a product of his environment. Being raised amongst the Everglades; which is one the most beautifully peerless ecosystems in the world, has undoubtedly influenced DOUG to be the intriguing thinker he is. Good artists are known for pulling from their unruly stream of consciousness and genuine life experiences to bring forth content which in return reaches individuals on countless levels, evoking a personal connection with one and their music. While many rap artists that you know are busy beating oversold dreams of Bugattis, bad bitches, designer things, and dough into the ground, DOUG is introducing content in a way that entices your intelligence and heightens your sense of humor. When hip hop was new, the experience was new. Now hardly ever is there a rapper that is inviting listeners to enjoy a different experience with their music. That is why DOUG is unlike any other rapper. Being clever, conscious, consistent, and especially original are parts of a skill set that have solidified artists like Notorious BIG, Big L, NAS, Wu Tang, Kool G Rap, Mystikal, and Outkast as historical figures in hip hop’s time line. With the spirit of hip hop lies a storyteller's perspective -- an observer and a voice. DOUG’s music challenges the very essence of what we consider to be hip hop today, a style he has been working on since the age of nine. The intricacies of hip hop music run deeper than many of us are aware of, but DOUG is teaching us that there is an art behind the music that still exists. As music is often a reflection of the world around us, DOUG satirizes somes of the lesser known nuances of hip hop culture, the political field, and living in the everyday. During a time when people who love music are increasingly frustrated with what the gatekeepers are letting by, there is even more of a calling for musicians like Middle DOUG although he is far from average. http://www.MiddleDOUG.com
