Devin The Dude
Devin The Dude, also known as ‘rap’s best kept secret’, dropped his ninth album earlier this year: ‘Acoustic Levitation’. The rapper from Houston began his career as a member of Odd Squad and was signed by Rap-A-Lot Records (also home to Geto Boys, Scarface and Too Much Trouble). With nine solo albums to his name and an impressive number of guest appearances for the likes of Dr. Dré’s ‘Fuck You’ and De La Soul’s ‘Baby Phat’, Devin is considered to be one of the most influential underground hip-hop artists. ‘Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper’.
