From Fayetteville, North Carolina a new hip-hop prodigy is emerging on the scene complete with all of the essential elements required to make him a sure-fire success. Darryl Warren Jr, a.k.a. Dalivaa makes up one of North Carolinas premier rap soloist. While growing up, obtaining a strong influence from hip-hop music was apparent. Listening to artists ranging from Slick Rick, Nas, Mase, AZ and his love for music flourished during these years, which gave him a foundation to build on.
As the late 90's arrived, Dalivaa begin taking steps required to sharpen his skills to a competitive level. Playing alto-saxophone, baritone-saxophone, and percussions in band gave him familiarity with different instrumentation, so he develops a fetish for producing music. Dalivaa started rapping and producing for his group named Darkshadows, a hip-hop trio. The first song that Darkshadows recorded was Cant Hold Us, which earned them an opening act for national recording artists Trick Daddy, and Trina. Coming from the country to the city to perform was a challenge, but they electrified the audience with their hit song Cant Hold Us in the Queens Music Festival in New York City. Dalivaa kept producing songs such as Garbage Day, You Can See Me, and Fake IDs that placed second in the Def Jams Repyocity Contest, played as the Hot 104.5 Hot Pick at six for consecutive weeks, opening acts, and reviews from local newspapers. Also, Dalivaa was chosen by the Dynamic Producer staff to play his production for Def Jam, Bloodline, Diplomats, other major and independent record labels.
Having nurtured himself on a different level of the business, Dalivaa continues to evolve into a commercial success. Producing his own tracks and writing lyrics, Dalivaa has perfected his craft. His clever and witty lyrics, powerful, crisp vocal delivery and banging hot tracks will surely have mass appeal. While he intentionally aims for the commercial market, Dalivaa still keeps it underground. Dalivaa has a unique, yet familiar sound, which captures the listeners attention and before long will have them singing along. And dont get it twisted, his music is straight D-flava. Producing songs like Who U B, Brian Dukes of the Up and Coming newspaper stated a must-hear track. Dalivaa has interned with Vic Frost, Program Director of Hot 104.5, due to his keen production skills. He has produced tracks for other independent artists, such as Crooks Inc, Mr. Rittz, Black Pentagon, Crazy K and Entell. Needing a strong management team to go along with his intense work ethics and creativity, Dalivaa signed with a new management company based in Fayetteville, NC called RekLes Entertainment headed by CEO, Stacey Justice.
Currently, Dalivaa has created a global presence and is receiving hits on soundclick.com from various countries, which includes United States, Germany, Vietnam, Canada, France, United Kingdom, and Netherlands. In the month of September, Dalivaa had over 1000 song plays on his soundclick.com site.
