Name: Dee Goodz

Age: 24

Reppin': Nashville, Tennessee

I've been rapping since: I have been rapping professionally since 2009. I have always been a fan of music, but it wasnt until 2009 that I began to take it seriously. That's when I took it from rapping in my dormroom to paying for studio time and seeking a cleaner sound.

My style or skills have been compared to: Well in regards to my skills I have a slow flow like a Ma$e, some people say that my demanor on a track can come off similar to like T.I with a little arrogance. There is a couple people you can compare me to, but I make sure that people understand that D. Goodz is a whole new brand and image.

My standout records/ moments have been: “Doobie Astray” with Mac Miller, “ My Hussle “ with Casey Veggies

I'm gonna change the game by: I am intergrating hip-hop and what they are calling the new EDM music. I have been spending a lot of time studyin old rock bands and how they operated, toured and traveled without releasing an album, building the fan base first. I want to create a whole new sound of music for the people.

I'd like to work with: Rappers I would like to work with Dom Kennedy, Rockie Fresh, or Yo Gotti. I havn't gotten to Yo Gotti yet and he is from Tennessee, so in due time.  In regards to producers I like Clams Casino from Jersey, I think he is dope.

My goal in hip-hop is: My goal is just not to be one of those people who did it, but one of the best that did it.  You catch a lot of guys nowadays espcially you can forget about in six months in rap. I want to make timeless music that will keep me in the game forever.

I'm gonna be the next: How about I'm gonna be the first. I don't want to be the next anything, I want to be the first everything though. I don't desire to follow in anyone's footsteps. I want to do it my way.
