A stellar show is scripted with elegance by the swashbuckling rapper Yung Dub D whose real name is Kedric Dewon Battee. He has etched out hard-hitting tunes in the track from his recent music video ‘In My Head’. The video is brilliantly shot by the gifted director Bryan ‘Eyce’ Leonard with incredible finesse. It is a splendid execution by the talented 30-year-old American rapper who is from Dallas in Texas. He was part of few mixtapes and has joined forces with prominent DJs such as DJ Mad lurk, Dj Official, Dj Tom Cruise, and Dj Cinemax. His first brush with fame came when he released his video ‘I Did’ in the year 2018. He also collaborated with Yung Nation and came up with the bonus track from a university album called ‘Get on Ya’. He also collaborated with Mike Hurst and dished out the hit track ‘I Agree’. To listen to more such numbers, one can plug into music streaming apps like Spotify.
