About Young Dougie:

Born February 13, 1987, Douglas "Young Dougie" Kemp is an American hip hop artist with a physical appeal that reflects his Belizean culture and a style that exudes his New York swagger. His music is where flashy lights meet wittiness and they mix well with intelligence.

Musical influences came from his mother, a beautiful Belizean woman that played old school tunes from artist such as Marvin Gaye, Rick James, Smokey Robinson, T.Marie and others while cleaning their small New York apartment during Young Dougie’s younger years.

Hip Hop albums “Illmatic” and “Reasonable Doubt” were the first to mold his style, but it was a group of various talents from the nineties called The Wu tang Clan that inspired Young Dougie to become experimental with rapping as life obstacles became more difficult.

Six children being loved by one mother can bring challenges like financial struggle and neglect, also the loss of his only brother to the penitentiary and a sports career that gradually faded, made music more as a way to constructively vent and cope with life’s disappointments. Instead of picking up a gun or drugs to sell, Young Dougie chose to pick up the mic and tell his story through the wire.

All of Young Dougie’s music is released through Komrad Entertainment, whose motto is “The family that has become a movement”.
