At an intimidating 6' 7" and 300 pounds, Dutch looks more like a member of the WWE then a rapper, but dont get him twisted Dutch has been putting it down for a long time in the Bay Area rap game and beyond. As ½ of the F.E. camp with Mr. Kee and President of the label of the same name, Dutch had more than his share of opportunities and success in the indie rap game.

His solo album in 2002 was well-received and although wasnt a huge seller it gave the world a taste of the lyrical prowess of raps newest sensation. Dutch toured the West Coast with SPM, E-40, N2DEEP, and 11/5 and got his chance to bring his talent to the masses. His obvious size and skin color always made people take a second look at Dutch, but it's his delivery and flow that earned him the respect of his peers and fans alike. After a brief hiatus from music and the dissolution of F.E. the group and the label, Dutch was urged to come back to rap by his older (although much shorter) brother, industry veteran B-12. His 2005 mixtape Dutch The Great circulated well through the industry and brought Dutch back to the attention of his fans. A shot in te dark call to CWB mogul Lexx Luger would bring the camps together and a legendary union was born!
