For the Chicago native Really Doe, the ten years it has taken to maximize his full potential as a recording artist has been well worth the wait. Really Doe began his musical journey in the mid 90's with former G.O.O.D. Music label mate and best friend GLC. Combined with the young and fledging producer Kanye West, they formed the group the Go Getters. With their 1998 hit record "Oh Oh Oh" the group gained notoriety in Chicago. "Once that record got put into rotation at WGCI, we took off," says Really Doe. "Then Kanye started getting some attention for his production. After he got signed to Roc-a-fella, he promised that he was going to help me and GLC out." True to his word, Really Doe's big break out came when he appeared on West's sophomore album Late Registration on the song entitled "We Major" featuring Nas. "I remember 'Ye called me up and asked me to blaze this joint with him and Nas. I dropped what I was doing to go over to the studio. A few hours later we had a hit!"
Sticking with that winning strategy, Really Doe asked West to return the favor and appear on "Plastic" which hit the streets in late 2008. With its hypnotic beat and hard-hitting verses, "Plastic" featuring Kanye West, has gone on to create major buzz on music blogs and websites for Really Doe's much anticipated first solo releas and given fans a taste of what to expect from the lyricist.
Staying within a family environment, Really Doe is signed to Kanye West's longtime marketing director Griffin Guess' Cartel Records. Produced by Guess as well, Really Doe's debut album entitled First Impressions will address a litany of topics that range from personal struggles of growing up in Chicago to the current political landscape and all that falls in between. When asked about Really Doe, Guess responded, "Really Doe's lyrical ability and thought process in how he composes each verse and hook is something I have never heard. Really Doe offers an authentically diverse landscape to the movement of hip-hop."
Production wise, the album draws inspiration from Chicago's musical history of blues and a big brassy sound, while pointing forward with the production by developing producers as well as established producers such as Be Crucial who provided the beat for "My City". When asked to describe what people should expect from his music, Really Doe responded, "I mean, my music isn't just going to be music - it's going to be medicine. I want my songs to touch people in ways they've never been touched before."
First Impressions will be released August 18, 2009, exclusively on iTunes and at Best Buy. The single "Mesmerized (feat. Danny Klein)" will be released on iTunes on August 4th followed by the single "Marvelous" on August 11th.
