DoD.A.T. aka The Skinny
One interaction with Do D.A.T. and you\'ll quickly figure out that he\'s not the average artist coming out of the Bay Area\'s music scene. Listening to a few songs will leave you with the understanding that this is an artist with a passion for making quality music. Do D.A.T. is all smiles. If you were one the bay area\'s most promising young personalities, you\'d be smiling too.
As a member of one the most high energy performance hip hop group, The Attik, he\'s had the honor of opening up shows for many of hip hop\'s founding alumni & outstanding scholars. D.A.T. has had the Privilege of sharing the stage with artists such as KRS One, Little Brother, Guru, Ise Lyfe, The Team, Zion I, Mistah F.A.B., Aceyalone, Mystic, Clide Carson, E40, Crown City Rockers and Dead Prez.He has performed at venues throughout California, across the country to the East Coast, and a brief tour down to Puerto Rico.
This is an artist who stays true to his heart as well as, Hip-hop, the Bay Area, and his community. As an educator for up and coming Bay Area artist at B.A.V.C- D.A.T. has inspired and encouraged the up coming generation to be more than just emcees and singers. His advice to the youth is simple. Be a proactive artist in the approach you take to creating, promoting, and consuming music. D.A.T. has lead creative writing & social justice workshops for almost every major high school in the Oakland/San Francisco Bay area. He\'s also been a featured speaker at several conferences across the nation.
Hosting some of the more popular parties in the Bay Area with Dj Sake One along side Fran Boogie has allowed him to keep his finger on the pulse of the current music scene. Emceeing local fundraisers, award ceremonies for disabled youth, poetry slams, and open mic hip hop shows, has allowed him to stay in tuned with the local community and music culture.
Many people believe that hip hop is dead. Do D.A.T. is evidence that hip hop is not extinct, but that Hip hop has evolved.
Listen to his music and decide for yourself.

A Much Needed Breath of Fresh Air
author: Meilani Clay
As a Bay Area transplant currently struggling through life in the nation\'s capital, it truly warmed my heart to discover this album. But D.A.T. being the homey doesn\'t mean I turned off the critical ear. I still paid attention to the poetry the album is filled with and I am thoroughly impressed. The album goes by way too fast, which is why it\'s been on repeat for me for the last few days. The laid-back appeal of the album does not mean you get to sleep on the lyricism. By far one of the wittiest and most eloquent emcees producing music today D.A.T.\'s album is worth much more than the price tag on it. Inhale it for yourself.

everything a good bus/bart/car ride needs

so i usually don\'t review stuff online, but let this be my one exception. you GOTTA buy this man D.A.T.\'s album!!! imagine lupe meets andre with a BayAreamerica twang -- the shit is creative, fast-paced, honest, concise...definitely worth the 8 dollars. plus it goes straight to the artist. if you enjoy feeling like its a sunday afternoon (rather than a tuesday morning), pick this up. or if you get geeked when \'passin me by\' plays on an otherwise lame ClearChannel station...this is the EP for you. next to wayne this is the best buy i\'ve made in 2008 so far...
