Early life

At a very early age DUBB became fascinated with music as he grew up listening to the likes of 2pac, Eminem, Nas & Jadakiss. DUBB attended Inglewood High-school and it was not until around this time that he choose to quit playing basketball and began to seriously pursue a career in rap music after going to the studio with a childhood friend. In 2004, DUBB joined forces with a local figure from Watts, California, by the name of "Geno Cap" who became a fan of DUBB's undeniable talent and called on the young rapper to be a part of his label "Hoodz Finezt".

Career

DUBB’s lyrical skills and versatility awarded him the reputation of being one of the most refreshing new rappers, and this was on display when he was featured on Compton rapper the "Game's" Black Wall Street Journal mixtapes in 2006. Shortly after Geno Cap's death in an apparent "car accident", DUBB decided to have a new fresh start and felt that the negative press associated with the name Hoodz Finezt was too turnt for his business and/or reflective of the creative musical direction he was heading in. In late 2011 after releasing the mixtapes the "Face of California" and "The Departure". DUBB began to release a series of mixtape projects such as "The Layover"(2012) and "The Black Box" (2013) and began to get some notoriety.
