Dyme-A-Duzin’s grandmother was a backup singer for the Isley Brothers. His childhood mentor, Q the Prophet--a gospel rapper, taught him song structure and gave him his MC name. Rappers come a 'DIME A DOZEN,' whereas Donnovan Blocker consistently delivers a dope flow, that's way beyond ordinary, contrary to his moniker. Named one of the “10 New NY Rappers To Watch Out For" by Complex Magazine, Dyme-A-Duzin is fast becoming the voice of his generation. Already making a name for himself, Dyme got his first record deal when his solo project, 20=X , caught the ear of Dante Ross . Plain Pat, an early Kanye West collaborator who also contributed on the tape, gave Dyme-A-Duzin's demo to Dante Ross. Ross, a legendary music executive and producer, was a key player with Dyme in the same manner that he guided golden-age hip-hop stalwarts like De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, and Queen Latifah. As a solo artist, he’s amassed more than 100 shows statewide and internationally-- performing with The Roots, Erykah Badu, Fabolous, Talib Kweli, Phony Ppl and more. His lyrics are innovative and vibrant while his melodies soar and flow with great ease. Dyme is the perfect bridge between classic rap music and the sound of a new millennials. Crown Heights' own reps BK to the fullest. So don't ask, 'Where Brooklyn At?' It's right here.
