For the past several years, D-Rell has been one of the most versatile up-and-coming emcees in New York's fabled underground Hip-Hop scene. D-Rell is no stranger to the culture and has spent the better part of the last eighteen years fine-tuning his craft. His love and appreciation for the art make him one of the most versatile, lyrically gifted emcees both on the East and the West Coast. With a vintage backpack rap style that recalls the sounds of Hip-Hop's Golden Era which we all love It comes as no surprise that D-Rell has worked with artists such as NVY JONEZ LKR, Chop the Father, and has released a string of mixtapes produced by Riverside-based producer Accosta the Man. D-Rell's attention to nuance and detail has only illustrated his appreciation for classic Boom Bap production and proof that the sound's popularity extends well outside of the boundaries of his native New York City and the East Coast. In today’s episode, D-Rell joins Step Off! Radio to discuss the inspirations behind his music, growing up as a child in Harlem, New York in the 90's and early 2000s.
