About D'MANGELO
D'mangelo was born in Cincinnati,Ohio. The City sits on the southwest edge of Ohio, where it banks on the great Ohio River. Home of the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, and the head quarters of Procter and Gamble. The city is small, but the heritage is great.. The substance and history of the city includes fights on the American frontier, production of sought after goods, and assistance in the underground rail road revolutionary movement. D'Mangelo Born "De'Angelo Belcher" was birthed early in the a.m. in early April, at the world wide renown Cincinnati University Hospital... His mother at the time young and unready for his birth, did the best she could to provide shelter, food, clothing and love to the 8pound 9ounce baby boy.. She worked long hours for little pay.. (D'mangelo)- "If i could have it my way, my queen would never have to work again in her life, only yard work to take care of her garden" At a young age Mangelo was introduced to hard rap lyrics from the artist who rained during his child hood.. Artist like N.W.A. Spice 1, E-40, Under Ground Kings, Too-Short, C-bo and plenty other from down south and the west coast.. At a young age his taste for music was set, heavy bass and dirty lyrics where the formula for witch he turned for listening.. He wrote rhymes in his notebook, that reflected the material world in witch he was brought up in .. Often being reckless, vex, degrading, and disrespectful. In The late 90's Mangelo was introduced to (at the time) the new age lyrics of 2pac.... The rapper soon became one of the would be artist favorite MC's.. And that would set the stage for a fork in the road on the path of music that was accepted for listening pleasure by the young vessel. It would also with out doubt have a heavy bearing on what was to become the new taste of music for the artist.. (D'Mangelo)- "if it wasn't for 2pac beef'n with the late great Notorious Big, I would have never had a chance to enter the realm of deeper thought that artist like Notorious, Nas, Rakim, Canibus and Krs 1 brought to the table" As time moved on Mangelo got deeper into east coast rap, artist such as Ghostface killa, red-man method man, and the natives to his city who presented the same vibe like Mood and Dj Hi-tek.. From that point on the artist gave attempt to correct the wrongs of the world thru his poetry and lyrics, but the songs, though having good intentions, did not rhyme and at times where to deep and unclear to follow.. His first release was a 3song e.p in 2004 , "No Handouts" that never went anywhere, the quality was poor, and the lyrics where not tight as they could have been.. But he still had good concepts like "I love all my dogs" and "Digital Doe man" In 2006 D'Mangelo gave it another shot, Now out the simple basement studio, he was recording with quality production, distributing quality lyrics, and recording with hi quality mic and equipment.. And also use'n a professional engineer.. His second release "F U and Yours" (available on Blindside Records at cdbaby.com/dmangelo.com) Has features from Vocalist, downsouth and east coast rap artist, and production from the United Kingdom. The singles "Bird Cherp" and "Don't worry bout me" got the artist the minimal attention he needed. Now with a group of vocalist, Top notch production, and a network of Mc's with different traits and sounds, D'mangelo plans to get his messages out in formats digestible for all music listeners and all ages.
