1 OF THA MOST VERSATILE, WESTCOAST ARTIST UNDISCOVERED... ON FEBRUARY 1, 1982 A FUTURE RAP ICON WAS GIVEN LIFE. STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WESTCOAST CAPITOL CALIFORNIA NATIVE BORN DOMINIK (DOUBLE-R) TOWNSEND, WAS RAISED ON HIPHOP. ARTIST LIKE, TONE LOC, RUN DMC, BIG DADDY KANE, AND YOUNG MC JUST TO NAME A FEW. THATS WHEN "DOUBLE-R" FELL IN LOVE WITH HIPHOP. ON THE MORE INDEPENDENT LEVEL, DOUBLE-R'S OLDER COUSIN "DR. JEKYL" AT THE TIME, BETTER KNOWN AS "J.E." NOW, WAS DOING THE SAME THING DOUBLE-R LOVED SO MUCH... "MUSIC"... "I THINK WATCHING "J.E." DO HIS STYLE OF MUSIC MADE ME WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HIPHOP WORLD" (STATED BY, DOUBLE-R) IT WASENT UNTIL 1994, WHEN "NAS" RELEASED HIS DEBUT CLASSIC, "ILLMATIC", THAT DOUBLE-R REALLY TOOK THE ART OF RAP SERIOUSLY. WHILE DEVELOPING HIS OWN STYLE, DOUBLE-R HAS CAME ACROSS HIS OWN SWAGGER, LYRICAL WORD PLAY & THE ABILITY TO RAP AGAINST AND WITH SOME OF THE BEST ON A UNDERGROUND & MAJOR LEVEL. DOUBLE-R IS NO STRANGER TO PRODUCTION AND THE BEHIND THE SCENES CONCEPT OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS. BEING THE PRESIDENT OF HIS OWN INDIE LABEL, "LYRICAL ASSASSINZ ENT". AS WELL AS BEING THE VP FOR, "DEFINED REFRAIN" & "PAPER TRAIL RECORDS" (ALSO INDIE LABELS). ALWAYS WAITING FOR THE CHANCE TO COLLABORATE WITH NEW TALENT, INDIE AND MAJOR ARTIST. DOUBLE-R SHOULD BE FIRST ON YOUR LIST OF ARTIST TO COLLAB WITH. ALSO, BEING A GREAT LIVE PERFORMER AT CLUBS SUCH AS; THE RHYTHM LOUNGE, THE AIRLINER, CLUB COPACABANA, AND ZEN SUSHI. GIVES THE CROWD WHAT THEY WANT... REAL MUSIC!!! CURRENTLY, HE'S PUTTING HIS SOLO ACT ON HOLD TO PERFORM WITH HIS GROUP, "UNIVERSAL DARKROOM aka U.D.". WHILE LOOKING FOR A MAJOR RECORDING CONTRACT WITH "U.D.", HE'S WAISTING NO TIME MAKING NEW ORIGINAL TRACKS FROM HIS UPCOMING DEBUT ALBUM TITLED, "FIRE STARTA". WITH HOTT BEATZ FROM INDIE PRODUCERS LIKE, J.E., PHAAROAH, MISTA LOON3, G-MAC, STRESS, AS WELL AS HIMSELF. HIS DREAM IS AS CLEAR AS HIS STYLE, FLAWLESS... LETTING NO ONE GET IN HIS WAY WHETHER IT BE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, ASSOCIATES, RAPPERS OR PRODUCERS... DOUBLE-R IS VERY FOCUSED ON HIS REPUTATION HE IS BUILDING FOR THE HIPHOP COMMUNITY. COMPTON HAS DEFINITELY RAISED A RAPPER WORTH LISTENING TO. WITH 14 YEARS EXPERIENCE UNDERGROUND, HE IS DEFINITELY READY FOR THE MAJORS. HE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO RIP THE AIRWAVES AND HAVE THE CROWDS ROCKING BACK IN FORTH CHANTING, "DOUBLE-R"...
