Smoke & Doe’ Ja
Born and raised in what now is known famously as the “UPT” Smoke and Doe’ja we’re born in the th ward in the neighborhood of Gertown. Having been exposed to the usual climate of violence and drugs the boy’s mother though it would be better for them to move downtown with there grandmother to a middle class neighborhood in the th ward. Press Park would only offer the same environment being so close to one of the city’s most notorious projects. The Desire was known for some of the city’s most violent crimes, and that’s where they would get their first taste of rap music. Doe’ja was introduced to the hip hop culture by his big brother E-Mac which helped him expose his self in Grambling, LA doing shows at various clubs with artist like UNLV, B.G. and U.G.K. Being heavily influenced by artist like Scarface, pac, LL Cool J, and I Cube, Doe’ja would have his first experience in hip hop in at the New Orleans World Fair. This would be the beginning of his journey for rap success. With several performances under his belt, he and his brother E-Mac started a group called the Unknown Mob, while younger brother Smoke in the wings waiting to prove himself he started his own group which would lead to him making beats on his own. The brothers would go on there own roads to achieve success.
Doe and E going to Grambling and Smoke going to Southern they all worked on different projects. Smoke collabing with the Baton Rouge hip hop scene would work with some of No Limit’s prominent artist such as, Kane & Able and Fiend. Then to move on to Atlanta to try to further his career. He worked with underground dj’s, and featured on HOT . as a freestyle artist and got a chance to freestyle with the industry’s best like Mr. Cheeks, Slum Village, Archie and producers on the come up like him. Trying to come up on the hip hop scene Doe’ja was offered many different offers from local rap label that didn’t fit the bill, but with his hustling skills decided to start his own record label Heavie Weight in .
Unable to score a deal that was gravy enough for Smoke to sign a deal he decided to just create his on sound and buzz the underground music scene. Since then Smoke has dropped a solo project and both have dropped underground disc. They would join forces years later after the death of the big brother E-Mac which would bring Smoke back to New Orleans to work with his big brother Doe where they would collabe to introduce to the world who they are “ DA GUDDA BRUDAZ”. Having their first finished project at a hault due to hurricane Katrina which they experienced first hand by staying in their studio to finish mixing down the album to be released. Having to evacuate their studio in boats and spend a week at the New Orleans Convention Center. Smoke & Doe’ja had to live up to their names and kept it Gudda in the conditions they were placed in. Now after the storm there city is out of commission, but they are bouncing back on the music scene, with the gudda music for the streets, from the realest of the the real gudda streets of New Orleans, LA.

The world of hip hop has made a dramatic change. For the better or for the worse? No one knows. But it has lost the hard, rugged, raw street attitude that put hip hop on the map. More of the fantasy, booty/jewel/automobile worship and less of the anger and darkness that made hip hop part of the music scene.
Enter Vicious Dogg, better known as V Dogg. V Dogg is here to bring back the in-your-face, hard-as-nails hip hop attitude. He does throw in some of today's commercial appeal, but to a lesser extent. V Dogg's raw and real lyrics instantly grab by the throat and don't let go until the song is over. V Dogg's instrumentals are just as haunting and angry as the man himself is. He is V Dogg. Old school flow, new school attitude.
At twenty four years of age, V Dogg is an experienced rapper/producer/songwriter. He has been in the music scene for twelve years and counting. He threatened to quit one time but music would not let go of him. And now he is back at it with one purpose: to let the world know just who he is. V Dogg is no stranger to hip hop. He is one of the most sought after names in hip hop. He has been on official charts three times at MP3Unsigned and was even chosen as the Featured Artist of the Week there.
V Dogg's legacy in hip hop started with a talent show back in the 7th grade that he placed second in and won fifty dollars. It went on to albums he made for himself, performing at parties, online collaborations, and ultimately bigger, better shows. His biggest accomplishment to date is the fact that he was chosen as Studio 231's Champion of the Open Mic for his hit song "Wiggle 'N' Jiggle".
Back then, he was just cheesy, simple, and kiddie sounding. But now he feels that he is ready. His very first public CD release, entitled "The Merciless Heat Mixtape: Volume One", was released on April 17th, 2007. Expect to hear more from V Dogg, hip hop's newest star.
