D.Willz is a hip hop artist hailing from the Bay Area's heart and soul, Oakland, California. The Bay has a different flavor known for its cool, mesmerizing beats, clever lyrics and a super Hyphy psychedelic spirit. Rapper D.Willz is the embodiment of these virtues and a fresh face in the hip hop game. According to D.Willz, humor is the main engine behind most of his tracks: "It's all about living life and laughing about it, not taking anything too seriously."Fans from young and old appreciate his idiosyncratic hits that de-romanticize the glamorous hood life that Hip-Hop often portrays. D.Willzʼs fans relate to his gift for writing about real-life experiences from shopping for shoes at a liquor store to payday advances at check cashing companies.
In the summer of 2008, D.Willz dropped his first album, Welcome to Willzville, followed by his subsequent single and music video for "Lika Sto." "Lika Sto" hit the airwaves with a vengeance, receiving multiple plays on local radio stations and over 30 television play lists and outlets including MTV JAMS, FUSE ON DEMAND, CMC, and Billboard.com.
"Licka Sto" was also recently featured on MTV Jams' "Bay Day" which has galvanized his fans to demand more music. The newly invigorated D.Willz has responded with two mixtapes, "Earthquake Muzik" and "The Bay to V.A" which have received over one million downloads and have been the Townʼs hottest mixtapes for months.
D.Willz recently wrapped a music video, "Cashed My Check," a single for his forthcoming EP, The Bounced Check, due out November 17, 2009. Both the single and the EP are highly anticipated by fans and are expected to receive even more radio and television play.
D.Willz's street burners and radio hits are a perfect expression of the Bay Areaʼs invigorating Hip-Hop spirit they also operate on a higher level of street sophistication and Town-swagger. His recordings are regional sensations, that transcend all local limitations and are soon to flood the airways once more. D.Willz is at it again giving his insatiable fans fresh tracks, blazing singles, and a unique swag produced from the heart of Oakland.
