"2" Is Ready To Deliver "The Double Dose"
(http://www.dubcnn.com/media/newsimages/2_01.jpg)
Now dubcnn is world renowned for opening eyes to new talent, some you take to, others you don't - thats life. Yet every now and again an individual or a collective grabs your attention and urges you to listen and take note. Over the years individuals such as Bishop Lamont, Glasses Malone and some others have requested that respect from their grind, talent and dogged determination to succeed. Two more that strike me are Bad Lucc and his Westurn Union collaborator Damani; both grinding, working hard to succeed in what is a
difficult industry. The first of which, Bad Lucc, dropped what can only be described as a "Street Classic" track last year by the name of "City Life" which featured the vocal talents of
Toussaint on the hook. The track outlined the struggle of inner city living and captured an essence not often portrayed well via music, yet they managed it and to acclaim from all corners of the globe. Now Bad Lucc is a big supporter of dubcnn and as such he promised he would let us hear more from Toussaint and as ever has come through for you the readers with information and music.
It's always a pleasure to unveil an artist who can portray the art of music in a way not often seen, in this case we are proud to exclusively reveal Toussaint soon to be better known in the industry as 2 a.k.a. The Double Dose. Now 2 (Toussaint Harris) has not just thrown himself into the arena overnight, he has been steadliy perfecting his craft over the years, testing his abilities in battles and freestyle sessions all over his native city of Inglewood, Ca. Thus far we have only heard the 21 year old showcasing his singing talent however he also posseses lyrical content and punchlines mixed with a crisp flow that ensures each verse strikes hard and sounds fresh. So put that in a mixing pot and what do you have? Lyrics, flow, punchlines and he can sing? Now that is a competent artist at a very young age and judging by what we have heard thus far a long career in the making. Speaking with 2 he tells us; "My style is what you call Hood Good. The flow is like cursive letters compared to manuscript."
Influenced by artists such as Marvin Gaye, R. Kelly, Nate Dogg, Nas and Tupac, 2 paints a picture with his music thats actually real and not overly flamboyant. Having been born in Los Angeles but raised in Inglewood, 2 began entertaining people with his singing at age 16 and then began perfecting rapping over the following year. Brought up with his talented brother LeMarvin, 2 quickly realised he had a
talent to entertain and then decided to pursue it. Blowing away students and faculty alike at High School talent shows and sending competitive MC's back to their walkmans to think again during famous neighborhood ciphers ensured 2 created a buzz in the streets at a rapid pace and a belief enstiled that he is by far "The Popular Product."
He is currently recording songs with talented producers including Ricc Rude and THX, so you know 2 is ready to bring something new to the table, variety and skill.
As ever we have some audio for you to get your ears around; listen and please take some time to visit our forum to drop your thoughts. Both tracks are laced by T.H.X aka "Black Floyd" and feature 2's brother LeMarvin who is signed to the "Co-Stars."

Dear DubCNN staff members, I've got a little favour to ask:
Toussaint's music has been up on DubCNN's mainpage a few times now, but each time the songs were released in (relatively poor) 128 kbps-quality. Now, I've burnt some of those songs onto CD's, and they just don't "bump".
Is it possible to hit up Toussaint to ask if he can send you guys those songs in better quality? Those songs are simply way too good (imo) to only being released in that poor quality.
The songs I'm talking about, are:
- My Heart Bleeds (slept on song btw. I just checked the original thread, and only a few cats on WCC downloaded the song. A damn shame! This shit's a West Coast anthem)
- Fears
- We Done Made It
- Have You Ever
Especially My Heart Bleeds and We Done Made It are the shit. I wish I could bump those songs in the ride in decent quality.
Thx in advance for anyone who tries to hook me up with this.
-
lucc has always been our contact for 2, ill forward him this and see wassup. we can only use what we get sent....
thanks
-
I understand, Rud. Appreciate the help.
