D.N.A. now has two meanings; DeoxyriboNucleic Acid and Oakland & San Francisco’s self proclaimed Dopest N*gaz Alive; a group which consists of two 26 year olds – TufLuv and MaasBlak. The duo have been rapping together since the mid 90’s and when listening to their material thus far that is evident as both possess an unspoken understanding of each other that comes across on the mic. Meeting in high school the pair formed a group they opted to call D.N.A. (Dopest N*gaz Alive) their reason; simple: “’cause all the legends are no longer living in the physical form.”
The group have high aims and desires, they have a will and a need to make music that the masses will hear, music that will last for generations yet still touches people on a personal level no matter their background. With the ambition and dream firmly set in their sights they are working on breaking into the music industry through hard work and grind. After a hand full of mixtapes in the local Bay Area their buzz has spread, reaching as far as Malmoe in Sweden which has landed them 2 feature tracks on El Sheffio’s (Large Money Entertainment) compilation album which is due to drop in the 2nd quarter of 2006 nationwide as well as Flipcyide’s
D.N.A. are currently working on their debut album which will features soulful tracks such as “Searchin’ 4 Luv” featuring Otis Cooper who is well known for doing songs with E-40 & Devin Tha Dude as well as the summertime focused “Slo’ Down” which features Mike Marshall who is well known for his work with Timex Social Club and the Luniz smash hit “I Got 5 On It.”
