FIP (Japan)
2 playaz who took their game internationally startin' in the far east in the land of the rising sun - JAPAN Dope Daddy - From LA. Lived in San Antonio, Texas for 8 years. Been in Japan for 10 years. Started an entertainment company over here in 1998 handling licensing agreements, distribution, promotions, marketing, A&R Direction, and concert promotions for major label artists as well as indie label artists. In 2004, started an indie label t1 records and looked for a real rapper with heart in Japan. More snakes and fakes in the Japan music industry than anywhere in the world. But as you know this economy over here is big, so i grind till i shine kuz i'mma tru soldier! m.o. is the Dope Daddy's 19 year old prodigy born in Tokyo but moved to Portland, Oregan when he was one. He is half Japanese/White. Grownin' up alot of prejudice was shown towards him for being half Japanese by white people. Only black people over looked that so that's who he hung with and developed a love for the streets and hip hop. At 15, he was kick out of school for dealing and his parents decided he should continue school in Japan, hoping that would keep him out of trouble. He didn't like Japanese kids his age bekuz they seemed childish and livin' the good life. His first true friends in Japan were Yakuza in Osaka. He hooked up with me when he was 17. There were other members in FIP but they went bitch bekuz i was too hard on them. i don't roll with fakes. m.o. showed heart all the time. so now we bombin on these fake muthafukaz in japan samurai style.
