Domino (dah-mi-no). The “OG” (originator) of the melodic rap style (melodocious) that not only redefined Hip Hop, it bridged the gap between R&B and Rap music with the 1994 monster smash entitled “Getto Jam”. Shocking the world, Domino became the highest debuting Hip Hop artist on Billboard Magazine’s Rap and R&B charts, superceding industry veterans like Toni Braxton, Snoop Dogg, Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, Too Short, etc…..With the “Getto Jam” success sweeping the nation by storm, Domino’s melodic flow would prove to be most influential in the music industry. There would soon be other melodic rap artist to hit the scene such as Nate Dogg and Hip Hop crossover sensation Nelly. “There are many of we, but only one me,” says Domino. Since Domino’s appearance on the music scene, he has been blessed and fortunate, being able to have worked with some of the most prolific names in the movie industry. His display of credits include making musical tracks for motion picture, box office hits such as Jim Carey’s (“The Mask”), Alicia Silverstone’s (“Clueless”), Halle Berry’s (Losing Isaiah”), Spike Lee’s (“Tales From The Hood”), Russell Simmons’s (“The Show”), LL Cool J’s (“In Too Deep”), and the list continues. In addition to his many television appearances on shows like the now defunct Arsenio Hall Show and daytime queen Jenny Jones, he has showcased his talents at many of the most recognized venues and arenas in the country. Appearing at the Apollo Theater, Domino not only mesmerized Harlem, he devastated the East Coast making New York his second biggest sales market in the country. Who could forget when Domino ripped MTV’s “Spring Break”? If you forgot, then keep watchin MTV, the sh*t was so “HOT” that they’ve aired the performance every spring break since 1994 (Classic)! Domino would bridge the gap between West Coast and East Coast rap by becoming the first West Coast artist to sign with the biggest Hip Hop label in the world (Def Jam) and made the first West Coast hit for Def Jam which would be responsible for not only the launch of Def Jam West but also paved the way for other West Coast Artist to sign with Def Jam, like platinum rapper Warren G and platinum R&B singer Montell Jordan. It should be noted that the legendary Notorious BIG respected Dominos’ flow enough to have quoted him on the classic album “Ready To Die” when he sings “Here We Go, Here We Go but I’m not Domino”.Domino is the only West Coast artist ever mentioned by Notorious BIG in that capacity (“Takes a legend to know a legend”) Dominos’ smooth melodic flows and hypnotizing harmonies remain unmatched. If the statement is true when said “The proof is in the Music”, then without a doubt it is a safe bet to say that the name of the game is one of, if not the Most Melodic voice to ever touch Hip Hop. “DOMINO” |
