Hello Blogland!!!

Hello Blogland.

For those not in the know, my name is D. Rose hailing from Houston TX. For over 10+ years, I've been involved in the hip hop scene in Houston as an artist/fan & have worked with some heavy hitters & skilled emcees on the rise. In the past year alone, I've been flying back & forth from Houston to ATL, LA, & NYC to increase the progression of my "bizzyness".

Along this journey I've met & worked with some cool as hell cats (some you might know or heard of. I've had the pleasure of working/networking with Tray Chaney (HBO series The Wire), Affion Crockett (MTV's Wild-n-Out), Chip Fu, YZ, & Ali Shaheed Muhammad to name a few. The road to success is not an easy ride journey & is not for the weak at heart.

I've learned that you get a lot of empty promises & a lack of follow through from folk that say they have your back. The best thing I've learned while walking this path is to things on your own & learn from trial & error. I've had many setbacks in pursuit of getting into the world of music & entertainment but more I grind, shake hands, & kiss babies, feel like the closer & closer I'm getting to my goal.

I currently am working on a project titled "The Daily Journal". If you have never heard of me or my music, I've provided links below for to get familiar. Also, go cop my new single featuring Tray Chaney titled "Life On Film" (link down bottom). This is the first of many blogs to come. Check out the music & let me know what's good. Oh, shout out to my brother, John O. Nelson, for having his short film "Hood Tales" being shown at The Sundance Film Festival. Salut. Time to "DO BIG THINGS"!!! Humbly, of course.

Peace & blessings
