As an artist, Dolo reinvented himself into a machine. Not only is he a lyrical slaughterhouse, but also his aggressive production matches the assault of his wordplays. Before he finished high school, Dolo composed a catalog of songs not only for himself, but also for the Werk Regime/PaperWerk productions. CEO D. Gritty (of the superstar Harlem group Teamstas) noticed and acquainted himself with Dolo, adding fuel to an inextinguishable fire. After countless music compositions, mixtapes, and live shows Dolo quickly garnered great recognition, expanding his horizons by aligning forces with AF1 management of New York.
