Show Me D Money

We set this interview up prior to bringing it to the forefront. Me and D Money that is. D-Money recently came back to his home town to visit his family , network with music related interests , and he took the opportunity to sit down for this personalized interview as follows

Darrell Mccleary likes to bring excitement , energy, and different feeling into the universe. He is highly conscious of what different levels of energies represent in people , forms of life , and how they correlate in the universe. He aspires to connect with various people of all walks of life with his craft.

Being in school was a very significant time in D Money's life. This is where he was able to establish many of his early friend , musical , and social connections throughout. This is also the place where he was given his rap name by his host of his closest people. He is very in tuned with how he wants to layer an entire body of artistic work. Darrell defines this in summary as his impact overall. Some of the key components which are extremely important from his perspective , are , a strong ethic of hard working and there is an emphatic importance to make history in all of your granted abilities.

One of the modern anchors in Darrell's life nowadays is that of his girlfriend who helps him steer his ship and compliments his talents altogether. " She's a good influence " D Money says of his girlfriend. As an emcee , D Money uses her vibe to write from altering ideals. Those that would come across from the male and female vantage points , are some of the assessments his woman gives him on his very writing and artistry.

What do you expect of this caliber of indie artist in 2016? D Money is set out to put in more ground work , public shows and appearances , as well as a highlighted point to conduct public speaking for the youth especially.

What I took from D Money speaking on levels of ambition was that your degree of work is going to reflect the level of business that you get yourself into , as well as the results you will receive on your end from your ethics. Nothing ever comes easy with anyone in the world , and I found it surprising that when I asked Darrell about what obstacles he dealt with recording his album .... he did not mention anything that had to do with business or from the audio angle of it all. The biggest hurdle he had to deal with was the passing of his uncle. He told me about the way that it grieved him , based off of what his uncle had meant to him , and then from another instance D Money used his uncle's passing to strengthen his artistic vigor.

He told me how much ladies love his record known as Tweak Season. This record comes from the perception of telling girls who take up exotic entertainment to remain uplifted , business oriented , and that he supports the decision for a woman to take this road to get from one place to another. D Money has also worked with Pinky Lee on more than one occasion. His music relationship with Pinky Lee is one that has at least spanned a decade to this present date. He exclaims working with her as a very professional woman , and he broke down the concepts derived which went into making their latest song 2 A.M.

D Money has been in transactions with DAUS ( Divine Artistic United Society ) since 2010 when he met with Heard. He started his DAUS tenure as member and then was later signed as an artist in 2013. Darrell believes he fits right into the general hip hop crowd , those who liken to lyrical emcees , and he touches with mainstream and radio music. Lately , D Money has been posted up shouting out the latest episodes of DAUS Radio. You can approach and see the life of D Money @ https://www.facebook.com/darrell.mccleary?fref=ts&ref=br_tf

BYOB Build Your Own Brand Gillie Da Kid Recap

I would like to personally thank Lacarr Hamilton and the staff of BYOB LLC on making their events accommodating to the physically handicapped. This was such an excellent humane gesture on their part in allowing , welcoming , and having these great individuals be able to enjoy a high quality Hip Hop event while they enjoyed their refreshments from Voltage Lounge. This also serves as a reminder to anyone anywhere , whether that person is mentally disabled , has an intellectual disability , or other  kind of physical impairment , remember , music is universal , and everyone in all lights is capable of being influenced through it and by it.

Upon entering Voltage at an early punctual time , I was greeted by Lacarr Hamilton of BYOB ( Build Your Own Brand ) as he multi-tasked and coordinated instructions between associates. The security treated every patron professionally as they did their job thoroughly. The play list of dance grooves and jams was already in effective rotation as people began socializing , mingling , and taking to the festivities. While this was all taking place , the scene was being established and the first performer had not even come to the stage. Having this sweltering momentum in place served as an ante of a pregame ritual for sure. This event was long awaited , highly electrifying , and solidified with Philadelphia area Hip Hop icons.

Lacarr motioned himself to the stage , double checking the sound area , and then assisting the host at delivering announcements , updates , and all the important program information for this evening. It was a surprise to run into Razor Sharp who was on the bill with new highly revamped , club banging , and instantly commercial hits that he performed. A set with Toni Lynn followed Razor's performance , by being a soulful songstress. Her vocals paved a testament to the struggle of loves imperfections , they were upbeat and serenading as with many variable vocally polished laced pitches in solid stride. Cokaina White demonstrated utmost versatility through her stage presence , selection of content , and her overall delivery. She had material that touched on her perception of relationships , as well as noted street laden tracks.

$alvation Keys reminded that this is the face of how you make brand recognition visible to the general public. Their shirts were gleaming , golden trimmed , shining in all kinds of lights and the apparel was definitely one of the potent campaigns during their performance. The squad was filled with multiple collaborators , emcees , people that highly touted their support and all showed the utmost positive energies throughout the entire night.  Jaq Sparrow was one of the more unique faces that had the opportunity to get to the microphone on this day. His music is a fusion of reggae , dance , and hip hop. He was such a generous spirit when I asked him about his contact information and we talked a little extensively about the fields that we are involved in. Cook Geez was one of the few faces who literally looked like he brought half the building with him. He was surrounded by very beautiful women and supporters who wore his colors , logos , and handed out his latest musical efforts. When he took his time to rhyme , the people of the pit were able to recite his lyrics , dance and rock out to his beats , and they were really drawn to the powerful vibrations of his music.

It's also very good to note , Chic Raw , the formidable DVD , street , and heavily promoted emcee was in attendance. There are promotional videos of artists , appearances , interviews , and live footage that I compiled as a part of this multi staged effort to really put the magnitude of this showcase in as many avenues as possible. I want to thank you if you have been following me , Build Your Own Brand , and Lacarr Hamilton through every step of bringing this process to life.
