The Journey to Hip-Hop ... Connecticut: D.W.I. - "Understand Me" featuring MakemPay


Found this searching for CT artists on my journey. This track I'm especially digging. Check it out...

D.W.I stands for "DARTS WIT INTELLECT" aka DEEDUBB aka DUBBZ, been into the realest Hip-Hop since this culture started. Born in Waterbury, Connecticut then moved and was raised in New Haven, Connecticut. In the late 80's, early 90's, he was in a crew called Ferse Priority named after Milk Dee & The Original First Priority Crew. They were on some cool out Hip-Hop music, dance, and basketball. In the middle 90's, D.W.I was affiliated with a group called Respected Mic Holders, who later changed their group name to Bare Essentials which also goes back to the members of Ferse Priority Fam. Together, they would write rhymes over instrumentals and always listen closely to the rapper's lyrics over the banging beat. Since the mid 90's, they've been putting it down in CT.

    D.W.I is not from New Haven. He was brought in New Britain, CT. He has a lot of talent.
