The ever-rising local rapper Dee-1, who is currently on his first 50-date national tour, drops his latest mixtape, The Focus Tape, at livemixtapes.com and dee1music.com today (Oct. 9).
The former schoolteacher has come a long way; back in 2009, he rapped about running into Mannie Fresh at AutoZone and crossing his fingers that the legendary producer might listen to it and call him.
Now, Fresh is hosting his new mixtape, and its first single, “The Man In My City,” features cameos from both Fresh and Juvenile. Killer Mike, Mos Def and Shamarr Allen also turn up on the project, as does producer C. Smith.
