Songwriter, actor and performer “SDOTP began writing poetry and street rapping with other local talents in NW Washington, DC at age 12. Always eager to “spit” at the next street cypher competition, SDOTP quickly earned “hood credits” as a bonified and multitalented rap artist.
Now, at only 27 years old, SDOTP is writing HIT songs and winning contests around the country. What’s the buzz? It’s the release of his 14 song mixtape, “REAL”, SDOTP’s potential coming full circle with hip-hop and trap music singles and compositions. SDOTP says, “My fans call me “SP” for short. I don’t really consider myself a “rapper” per se because people have a certain stereotype about that title. I’m a rapper but at the same time a poet. There is something for everybody on this mixtape. Every song reveals a little more of my story so my fans know something about the real me.”
“SDOTP REAL mixtape is official. He's a hip-hop super talent.” DC Promoter, Bo Sampson
