Representing the West Coast, Lieutenant is giving life to a part of California that is not typically voiced, Fresno. After a few failed attempts with local labels, Lieutenant decided to take matters in to his own hands and begand to manage his career. But at the same time he was following the cliché path of so many other rappers, as Lieutenant began to peddle drugs in and around the city, in a desperate attempt of finance trips back and forth to Los Angeles, in hopes of breaking into the rap scene.
These trips paid off, as Lieutenant managed to prove himself and work with the likes of Teddy Riley, Rick Rock, Akon, and others. Fueled by inspiration from some of the greatest songwriters of all time, Scarface, Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, and Stevie Wonder, he was able to develop his own technique.
To showcase his songwriting skills, Dubcnn has three songs from Lieutenant available for download. All songs were produced by Mynority Live (Nate Dogg, Lupe Fiasco, Cruna). My personal favorite being "Afta Tha Afta Party", has a self-explaining title, so you know how the song goes. Lieutenant comes off dope on a laid back joint with an addictive hook that is sure to have your speakers bumpin’ early in the morning. The song is actually the #2 most requested record in The Kingdom Of Bahrain right now, and Lieutenant will be heading out there next month in support of the single. The other two tracks we have are called "Rock Music" and "Angels", two perfect examples for his diversity.
