DoubleWood Infantry- Brass City Gangstas
WHAT'S REALLY HOOD?!?!?! It's ya boy, the one and only Corrado "The General" Clips, head of DoubleWood Infantry(DWI) and Brass City Gangstas(B.C.G.). We're comin' straight from Dirty Water CT, trying to put DW on the map since many others failed to do so. We're bringing Gangsta Rap to another level mainly, but we've been dabbling in commercial Hip Hop and even R&B lately, so you'll never know what to expect outta us!!! I'm currently in the process of releasing my sophomore "hood" mixtape titled "This Is Me Vol.1". It's basically a freestyle mixtape wit a select few songs, all performed on industry beats by myself and a few guest appearances from affiliates. It's flamin' hot so be lookin' out 4 that within the next month, I figured I'll set the spring off wit some heat of my own 4 y'all niggaz, u heard?! Then I'll be releasing the Brass City Gangstas album, early May featuring my artists, B.Gunz, Will B., Monteca, and a few others. Be on the lookout 4 that too. I'm also currently working on a collaboration mixtape with another local Dirty Water, CT rapper, Toolz entitled "It's Lonely Up Here". That project will be a mixtape series with 3 to 5 volumes coming out within the next year. I'm telling u, I'm grindin' hard trying to get this work done so I can do some deal shopping, y'know?! Any critisism, comments, or remarks will be well aprreciated by me and my fellow artists, so feel free to holla @ ya boy! DoubleWood 4 Life, BCG is the squad!!!!!!
