my experience with the music of D-Boy

           I don't remember when I first heard OF D-boy. After all, he was pretty popular in the day that I was into the Christian rap scene the most. Back in the time, around 1990, when Dc Talk put out their second album Nu Thang(which is their greatest to date). Anyway, I don't remember when I first heard OF him and how great he was. But, I do remember the tape that I first heard him on.

           It was on a tape that I bought. I don't remember the title of the tape. However, it did contain a couple of other artists that I knew and wanted to hear. It was a sampler type thing. The song that was on it was called Pick Yourself Up. I liked it pretty much. I hadn't really tried to get any of his 2 cds (which is all he made before he was killed in 1990). Though I knew I would buy them immediately if I ever saw them. I didn't search for them.

           However this past summer I was blessed to see them in a store. If you're like me sometimes, you're sure to look at the cds that are on sale. That is what I did. And, included in them, were 2 D-Boy cds!! Anyway, I bought and was proud of myself for doing so. But, once I got home I realized that one of them was actually an album that was a tribute to him and contained only a few songs that were not on the other cd. But, I was glad for both of them. I have enjoyed these cds VERY much because D-Boy was such a talented rapper. His words were so clear. As he said (they should learn to do as him) "when ya step to the mike, learn how to pronounce". That is one thing he was very good at doing.

           The two cds I own are "Plantin' A Seed" and "Peace to the Poet".
