Sounds Like
OK.. You know that one uncle who always gets too drunk at the family reunions? Uncle Gary or some shit like that?
He checks out all yer sisters friends, eats the last piece of chicken, drinks the last beer and then leaves without asking grandma if she needs help carrying anything to her car.. Then after he leaves you realize he never paid you back that 50 bucks u lent his ass at last years reunion?
It sounds like him.
Detroit's microphone bully Paradime has been one of the city's most highly touted emcees since his arrival on the scene in 1999. The winner of handfuls of Detroit Music Awards, Detroit Hip Hop Awards, and Real Detroit and Metro Times reader polls, Dime is a favorite of Motown's music fans.
His album 11 Steps Down is a virtual who's who of talent, including guest appearances from Kid Rock, Tash of Tha Liks, D12, Trick Trick and Guilty Simpson, and is making it's mark daily in the underground across the country.
When Dime isn't rocking his own crowds, he is a member of Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker band, and works the turntables for the American Bad Ass all over the world.
