When did you first become introduced to hip-hop?
Dollah D: I first started listening to hip hop/rap when Warren G's "G Funk Era" was released in 1994, which was a huge influence on my love for west coast music.

Coming up who were your influences in music?
Dollah D: Damn...theres alot to go through. Warren G and Nate Dogg were definatly a big inspiration to my style (R.I.P Nate Dogg). Snoops "Doggystyle was HUGE for me. "Whats My Name" was one of the most bangin west coast jams to come out. N.W.A is definatly a big one since they were the godfathers and the beginning of gangsta rap. Some other big influences would be the whole DPG camp, 2 Pac and most definatly George Clinton.There are so many great artists out there, but these are some that stick out for me. Much Love for the West Period!!!
