Prince George Country, Maryland duo DTMD are preparing to release their album “Makin’ Dollas” on September 20th via Mello Music Group. You can currently pre-order their album at iTunes right now!!
DTMD represents the youth movement among DMV hip hop. With Dunc on the beats and Toine on the mic, the moniker Dunc and Toine ‘Makin’ Dollas’ is a nod to the classic East Coast act EPMD, a duo that first hit stardom before Dunc and Toine were even born, but also services as a strong indicator of their craft – striving to produce fresh and innovative music while maintaining a deep reverence for the pioneers who preceded them.
Dunc’s rich, full-bodied production serves as a natural backdrop to Toine’s technically astute rhymes, layered deep with smooth instrumentation evocative of such luminaries as J. Dilla, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Pete Rock, each of whom shaped the classic hip hop sounds of Dunc’s childhood. Toine’s energy and bright delivery belie wisdom beyond his years, inspiring deep reflection as easily as sharp battle fare and complex rhyme schemes. Maintaing a close working relationship with PG neighbor Oddisee and assuming a strong presence in the collective atmosphere of the DMV’s hip hop scene, DTMD appeared separately on MMG’s “Helpless Dreamer” compilation, Toine rhyming on “Different Now” and Dunc producing Stik Figa’s “From The Top.”
The single for the song “You” serves to offer a taste of what to expect from their forthcoming MMG full-length “Makin’ Dollas.” The track has been circulating in rough draft form for a while, alongside the video, but today, they have released the official album version with a fresh new master.
