DOPE 360
What's up, this is Dope 360. We've been grinding for years, and now it's is time for our movement to shine. Dope 360, (banned from myspace because of our name) consists of "Dat Boy G" & T Blac from Texas, "JE", "T. Hill", and "L-Easy" from VA, and basically anyone who's down with us and supports our music. We are the future, so look out for more from us.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I(L-Easy) started making beats in 1997 and then started working with T Hill (my first hip hop partner) by 1999. We had freestyle albums by 2000. Then my brother JE started rapping and doin' his thing around that time. We kept on grinding through thick and thin, through money troubles and drama that slowed us down for a few years, but we stayed on our grind. In 2003, we hooked up Dat Boy G after he found one of our demos in Richmond, VA. We put in work and formed a great community with great chemistry, and a sound like no other. We're working on building a future trend that music fans will love and respect.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Sometimes here in VA. We are currently keeping an eye open for places to do shows and a dj to host it (because I don't dj, just produce and make beats), but at the same time our main concern is getting production done and getting our CD's and MP3s out there so people will know who we are and see that we have talent.
Your musical influences
I was influenced by people like Dr. Dre, because it was his "Chronic" album that made me put away the astronomy telescopes, and get a boom box so I could bump the "Chronic" tape. I was also influenced by Wu-Tang, 2pac, Biggie, Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Cash Money, No Limit, Eminem, Jay-Z, and many other greats.
What equipment do you use?
I use mostly computer programs with a little bit of this, that, and a few other tricks.
