Dragnet

Joined / Lancaster, Tx

I started freestylin in the halls of Townview Magnet High School my junior year in '02. After that, I went on to start on my first tape "The Dragnet Revisions". The quality was poor so I gave it away in Dallas, Irving and Grand Prairie, Tx to build my buzz. After that I went on a hiatus in the military while still networking and doing other tapes. All the quality was real poor so I never released any of those tracks. In '05, my producer HumpDizzle of The Nu Age bought some real equipment and we started on my first real tape "Hook & Verses". I dropped that while stationed in VA and then followed it with a realease in '07 with "Hooks & Verses 2: For Da Love of Money" with my long-time friend Fame. After that, I dropped a number of online mp3 compilations that can still be purchased on my soundclick page @ soundclick.com/dragnet. When I got out the military in July of '07, I utilized all the time I had been networking and returned home to Dallas to start working on my album. My single "Wet, Wet" along with my tapes had given me a nice fan base in VA and people were asking for the album. So when I got to Dallas I teamed up with Big Sid of Playaz Choice Ent. and he guided me through the right steps to get my album going. I did a small cameo in the "Dial Tone (Oklahoma Remix)" video by $parkDawg of GreenCity and continued to network and focus on my album. By the beginning of November '07, the album was complete. I began to focus on my label or trying to get signed. Everyone turned me down to the point that it was no joke. I dropped my album independently on Feb. 12, 2008 and followed that up by dropping a number of mixtapes to help build my buzz. Now that I have a good amount of people who really know who I am, I am workin on 4 EPs, a street LP and my official 2nd LP. I just just dropped the first EP entitled "I Tell Tha Truth" which is entirely produced by Tha Truth Tella from France and it went on sale through iTunes, Amazon.com and various online retailers on April 13th, 2010. I am now working on my street LP which will be mixed by DJ Ames. I'm still deciding on a title so that might be a last minute decision. However my next EP which is entitled "Dragnet's Block" and entirely produced by DJ Crazy Beatz will be out around my birthday in August.
