“Don’t Be” is Docman’s 4th video to his latest album, “Veni Vidi”. The video was shot in Los Angeles the same day as the BET Awards. The song features long-time collaborator, Haeden. The video was shot by Utmos Visuals.
On, November 5, 1993, Maurice “Docman” Robinson was born in Yuma, AZ. His mother and father were stationed there at the time. In 1995, Robinson’s parents split, and his mother moved to New York. They moved into an apartment with his two cousins, Lenard Gibson (LG) and Nathanial Robinson. LG, his older cousin, was into the drug dealing epidemic of the 90s. Docman was heavenly influenced by the things that were happening around him. Typical life in Queensbridge in the late 90s was rough. His mother was struggling to make ends meet as she worked two jobs. With his mother not being home, Docman was forced to take to the streets for that attention.
On January 27, 2004, LG was hanging outside of a nightclub in Manhattan. At approximately 12:35 AM, a black SUV parked at the end of the block. As LG proceeded to walk down the street, 3 masked men jumped out of the car and short Gibson to death. Docman was in his neighborhood when a couple of his close friends came to inform him. Three years later, Docman, Nathanial, and his mother moved to Virginia. After two years, Docman moved to Houston, TX.
In 2006, Docman lived in Alief (the southwest side of Houston). He attended Budewig Intermediate School. In 2007, He moved to the South East side attending Thompson Intermediate. While at Thompson, Docman formed a group called JHC, or Junior Hustle Click. The group consisted of TBronz, Babyboy, DJ Roybass, and JK. In the beginning they weren’t rappers; they sold bubble gum to help pay for school lunches. At the time the only rapper was TBronz. He influenced Docman to rap, and from then on, Docman dedicated himself to the music.
Docman didn’t start rapping in 2007. His journey started back in 2004 when his cousin was killed. Before his cousin’s demise, LG would freestyle on the corners of New York while he sold drugs. Docman, being around him all the time, was amazed by the love he was getting off of making words rhyme. While his cousin was on his death bed, he told Docman to “never let anyone get in between him and success.” Docman says, “I rap because it helps me connect with him.”
Back when his cousin was on the corner selling drugs, Docman would always want to participate. Everything his older cousin would do, he would try to emulate. So, in-turn, everyone in the neighborhood nicknamed him “Down On Crime”. After a while, Maurice shortened it to Doc. As Doc became more into rap, he felt the need to change his name. At the time Robinson was very into Wu-Tang and Def Squad. He was particularly into Method Man and Redman. When Doc finally decided to change his name, he followed suit and added “man” at the end of “doc”.
From 2008 to 2012, Docman has released 20 underground mixtapes under the name Doc with his group, JHC. In 2015, Docman decided it was time to start cashing in on his talents. On April 17, 2015, Docman released his debut EP, The DOCument. The EP gained much respect with major tastemakers as numerous blogs raved about the blend between underground lyrics and mainstream production. Docman decided to go on his first tour in the summer of 2015. The tour stopped in 5 cities: Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, and New York.
Now Docman is the CEO of his own label, Empier Entertainment (Not Empire); and is planning on dropping a full length album in the summer of 2016.
Hollywood Mickey returns with a new video for “United States VS Hollywood Mickey”. This is the intro to his forthcoming mixtape dropping August 28 and is also the introduction of Mickey to the music business realm.
https://youtu.be/UVSQAMSEJG8
Hollywood Mickey provided us with candid insight behind his musical style, background and much more below:
Reigning from Bad Newz Virginia home of NBA star Allen Iverson and NFL star Michael Vick. My music is a mix of both Northern and Southern music styles. “Being from VA is my strong point I look at it as the top of the south and bottom of the north so I have the ability to create melodic catchy hooks usually associated with more southern artist and have the lyrical ability to keep up with northern artist”. I have been writing music for 10+ years. Early in my career I worked with Diamondback ENT and Nex N Line records.
I am currently an artist and part owner of TrapHouse Digital an up and coming label from my area. I have worked with platinum producer DJ L.E.S. and a number of local artists from Virginia. I have also worked with project pat, producer’s willafool, lex luger and 808 mafia. My music style is what I have deemed to be anti-trap music. I am a guy from “The Struggle” and honestly I feel like both sides of the game are not told. A lot of other artists mainly show you the glamor and glitz of money and partying neglecting the part when it goes wrong. I adopted this angle because in 2013 I was arrested and incarcerated for possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. This situation happened as a result of a million dollar investigation which ended in me pleading guilty and being sentenced to 36 months in federal prison. I was released from federal prison and I have vowed to not return to my old ways and give music my all.
Sanford rapper Sintell describes his latest single:
I heard the beat and wanted to make something fun. It’s really simple but it’s hard and people can turn up and get lit to it. It expresses how I’ve been doing with my music, I’ve been going “Dummy” dropping what I think to be fire tracks back to back to back.
Timothy Sentell Reaves better known as Sintell was born in what’s known as the “Santrap” aka Sanford, NC. He began his artistry around the summer of last year, dropping his first song on Soundcloud “How Should I Know”. He started off just free-styling with friends for fun back in 2016, before finding a feel for the craft and deciding to take music seriously in 2018.
He took on the stage name Sintell as a tribute to his late father who shares the same middle name, changing the “E” to an “I” as a way of saying “Sin tells Everything”. People try to hide behind their sin or whatever they struggle with but he refuses to hide by sharing his authentic self through music, whether good or bad. It’s about knowing who you truly are and not being at the mercy of other’s judgement. He is inspired by artist such as Juice Wrld, Lil Peep, XXXtentacion, Tee Grizzley and Eminem.
