Utilizing his biting wit and incredible lyric writing skills to verbalize about everything from his troubled past to his early adulthood, his talent has been labeled by some in the underground hip-hop world as an unmerited bona fide gift. His current feature lyrics on his first CD are mere examples of what he wants and plans to offer to the hip-hop community. His talents has also been recognized in the production process of his first CD as a local artist, all verses and beats featured were personally written, selected and recorded in a local studio. D-R@in continues to deliberate and enhance his skills as a hip-hop artist and strives to embark on the entertainment industry as a whole, both locally and nationally. Born DaRon Wright in Detroit, MI, spending his teenage and early adulthood years shuttling back and forth between his hometown Detroit and the city of Toledo, OH. Growing up wasn’t easy for D-R@in, being raised in a single parent home, looking for direction from a distant father and spending most of his teenage years being raised by his Grandma. D-R@in tried to put the pieces of his life together but unfortunately headed for a life of trouble. Nevertheless, it was his life experiences both good and bad that represents who he is and will become and are expressed in his lyrics. He begun his hip-hop career at an early age but, becoming a product of his troubled environment caused him to spend some time in the prison system which placed his career on hold. However, it was his father’s cold blooded death and murder in 2005 which influenced him to reignite the flame of writing again and express the frustrations of his life through his lyrics. While re-emerging he vowed to re-implement his lyric writing gifts as a tribute unto his father, all while bettering his chances at life and speaking of his struggles to the world. Being selected within the top 10 of 50 finalist at a Detroit, MI local radio station “FM 98 WJLB” CD Critique contest in May of 2006 is what drove him to continue to strive and seek to take his hip-hop career to the next level and look forward to ceasing any moments of opportunity available for him to do so.
