Doe Boy Philly: The Rap We Like

I heard the whispers in the wind talking about a lyrical dynamo coming out of Philly. I told the whispers they weren’t saying anything clever because that city has bred some of the finest to do it and get to the point! They said three words, Doe Boy PhillyI said to myself “Self, let’s see what’s up”, so I began to wade through social media, and all its musical detritus, smoke, and overcrowding, and got a bar of an MC that I soon discovered shouldn’t be “whispered” about…

Have you ever had that story that just took too long to be told and the teller won’t get to the point?! Yeah well, this won’t be one of those…you’re going to find out about Doe Boy Philly, right now.

I found what I needed to make up my mind to profile Doe Boy after checking a clip from the @highofflife Instagram in which Doe Boy dropped pure lyrical missiles with his 10 Rap Commandments freestyle shot at @LIVEHIPHOPDAILY in Atlanta, GA.

The team at High Off Life declared, “Southwest Philly’s own DOE BOY PHILLY doubled back to drop one of the Hardest Freestyles of the YEAR on #HighOffLife Freestyle 133!” What do YOU think?!

That sparked some excitement and inspired me to lean forward and learn more about this kid. I said wasn’t going to get long-winded so I’ll just say Doe Boy more than holds up his end of the bargain in repping Philly in his name. Clever, witty, and cohesive barz flow effortlessly off the dome and his available streaming catalog is just as dope of an experience for me. I feel this cat contributes to the fabric of the culture and we’ll be talking about him for quite some time…stay tuned!

The Business on Doe Boy Philly from the inside looking out

Throughout hip hop’s history, there’s always been a big man in the picture. From Heavy D and Biz Markie, to Biggie and Big Pun, to Rick Ross, the big man has been a mainstay and frankly, a staple in the hip hop timeline since the beginning. After Ross, there really hasn’t been another big guy who has solidified himself as the next heavyweight to carry the flag and push the culture in a new direction. Too many characters, too many gimmicks, and not enough realness and talent. There is a void to be filled. Enter: Doe Boy Philly.
