Biography:
I'm Dante' Wells, artist name " Don Duna ". Born in raised in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn I grew up in the greatest time of hiphop in the early 90’s when Snoop Doggs Doggystyle came out, I was about 5 yrs old and my moms got me the album and I remember how dope the album art was. I fell in love with hip hop ever since. I always grew up around music my grandfather was a DJ and i remember him playing old school r&b picking me up from kindergarten and we would go to the Wiz downtown Brooklyn and buy records and spin them at the house. The first song I recorded was over Biggie’s Juicy on the radio with a cassette tape, I recorded over it on a fisher price karaoke my dad got me. I played it on the stoop and my Aunty had the OG’s there to listen and ever since then I knew I could rap. I was in the streets doing a lot of things that happens in Brooklyn. Being in Brooklyn it’s 7 degrees of separation to a lot of artist like Biggie, when Bristal was alive back in the day my cousin was rapping with him. He is family RIP Bris. I was always around music and I learned how to freestyle rapping in the mirror after I would come home after smoking weed trying to clean up and get the smell off me. I moved to Las Vegas with my dad to get out of trouble on 06’ and people were rapping and I’m like man I can rap, rap. Lil Wayne was claimed to be the best rapper alive and I’m like man the best rappers are from where I’m from. I started freestyle over Wayne mixtapes with a air pod and one headphone in for the teens at Job Corp. and they said I was fire so I would battle anybody who said they could rap and they would stop rapping soon after I start going on with this one rap I still say first if I’m going to battle. I don’t battle anymore lol. I got out of school and invested in a studio because guys would get intimidating and erase songs lol. I got my own equipment at the house and started perfecting my craft. Released a couple songs but had to focus on taking care of my family. I still have it always when it comes to music and I have some heat on the hard drive. I know i have hits my bro keep telling me to blow up and change the game and he is plugged in with Lenny S and a bunch of people. This is my time and chance to do it.
