Devon Gaither, aka Doc.ce, is a pioneer in the rap industry who has been the CEO of a Los Angeles, California-based company called Involved Records since 2008. Involved Records has the mind to help good artists who have never been discovered go somewhere. Doc.Ce & Involved Records has 13 artists which consists of Sophia Brown, Lil Suge, Tumbleweed, Omega Raw, Shamrocuss, Traknox, The Block, Mr. Smoove, Lee Jordan, Stackz2020, Lady Cam, Ro-Millz, and Doc.Ce himself.
Doc.ce was born in Compton, California and was inspired by a teacher in elementary school to start rhyming. Growing up in Compton he developed a great respect for hip-hop, break dancing and old school music. While in his teen years Doc.ce started going to underground house studios and working as a DJ for high schools and colleges. During this time a rap group formed of Doc.ceﾒs peers called the Crimies. The Crimies dropped a couple of successful underground hits in 1992 which led to Doc.ce making a series of solo albums throughout the years. Doc.ce and the Crimies are still a group to this day.
Doc.ce has had the chance to work with old and new school artists such as Barry White, Gap Band, George Clinton, and various other artists from the East to West coast. Doc.ce has been inspired by Ice Cube, Snoop Dog, Rakim, LL Cool J, Run DMC among others.
Most recently, Doc.Ce and Involved Records dropped ﾓReal Hustlaz Canﾔ featuring Kokane & Goldie Loc, and reggae artist Sophia Brown has been in recent discussions with Def Jam, coming off her smash single ﾓGimmi That Good Loveﾔ. “Gimmi That Good Love” and “Real Hustlaz Can” are both available worldwide in digital format only through iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, ShockHound, Amazon, EMusic, Hudson Japan, Spotify, and all other digital retailers.
