 dev demetriesJay-Z once said "We as rappers must decide what's most important, and I can't help the poor if I'm one of them. So I got rich and gave back to me that's the win, win" in a lyric from the classic song "Moment of Clarity". Although Dbo is a top notch lyricist in his own right, that particular lyric holds a lot of truth in Dbo's case, and just like the song says Dbo certainly chose what's most important to him and that's to "give back, that's the win win". In his community, Dbo is known as an artist that not only cares about himself, but the lives of others and gives back to the community at every opportunity. Dbo, born Devan Dumes, in Indianapolis, IN. began getting into music, rapping and writing lyrics at the age of 18. Aside from being a prominent, rising rapper in the Midwest, Dbo is also a social activist known for his humanitarianism, and hard work in the community just as much as he's known for spitting a mean 16. Dbo works closely with Judah Ministries among many other organizations, and charities by assisting with back to school drives for underprivileged children, Christmas and Holiday giveaways, Summer program partnerships and many other righteous causes. When it comes to the music, Dbo is fierce on the mic, pleasing both the back-packers/ hip hop purists as well as fans of mainstream hip hop. Dbo has collaborated with prestigious rap recording artists such as Kevin Gates, Lil' Durk and Texas legends Bun B. of UGK and the iconic Scarface of the Geto Boys. In 2017, Dbo made a huge impact with the release of his album Deliberation. Following the success of his 2017 opus, which made waves in Indianapolis and surrounding cities, Dbo also used the Internet to reach a wider audience. Celebrity DJ, the renowned DJ Reddy Rock helped break Dbo's music in a major way as well as getting an extra push from esteemed program and radio director Jay 1. Hot 96.3 FM on air personality Bswift was one of the first to believe in Dbo and Bswift cosigning his music really opened many doors for the budding Indiana based recording artist. Dbo's success lead to him winning the Leak Award for Best Male Rapper, and best single. The buzz surrounding Dbo paved a way for him to share the stage and open up for artists such as Blac Youngster, Lil' Boosie, Webbie, Starlito and Bun B. as well. When it comes to Dbo's music, there is no one word or phrase that encompasses all that he is as an artist. Dbo has music that pleases the masses, however when it comes to Dbo as an all around person, rest assured he is most definitely a man that cares more about the well being of others, than himself..... because when it comes to the community and the world, "he gives back" and with the type of integrity he holds not only as an artist, but a man, he will continue to "win win" for sure.
