Repping The Sunshine State's Capital--

Tallahassee's Double D from U & I Entertainment
To Release His Anticipated Sophomore Set


What do folks like T-Pain, George Clinton, Famous Amos and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith have in common with hip-hop musician Double D? They all hail from Florida's capital city, Tallahassee. It must be in the water in that Southern city, that drive to succeed and stop at nothing before reaching success. Double D is a self-taught one stop shop of hip-hop. A member of the U & I Entertainment crew, along with DJ TD, Ron Doe and P.C., Double D has become a local legend as a multi-talented rapper/producer/engineer/songw riter.

Double D will release his self-produced sophomore CD, "Born Ruler," in Spring 2009, on the Trendsetters Entertainment label. He currently has a new mixtape in the streets and on I-Tunes, called "Trapaganza," with ringtones on MySpace (www.myspace.com/doubled850) for the title track and "Fast Car," "Yes Sir" and "Spotlight." U & I Entertainment member DJ TD hosts the "Trapaganza" mixtape. And for the uninitiated, "Trapaganza" deals with "getting it by any means."

After honing his craft in home-based studio in a tin shed in his parents backyard, the young Double D emerged making beats, recording, mixing, writing, rapping and singing. Though that studio had only a mic and a keyboard, Double D created his own mixtapes and sold them at school. After dozens of freestyle CD's and a short stint with a local group, he released his first solo album, "The Action & The Reaction," to local and regional success. Then, he was a founding member of Tha Infantry, along with his U & I Entertainment partners. The rest is Sunshine state capital history; he went on to release a group CD, a slew of group mixtapes, two solo mixtapes and now 30,000+ units later, he's a known, respected talent on the Southern hip-hop scene.

With his confident style and distinctive swagger, Double D has ably completed his lab work and created what will undoubtedly become a 2009 classic, with the release of "Born Ruler."
