TULSA, OK  -  Get a clue.  He’s been here for years.  He’s not the Colonel from the infamous board game.  The General of The Dogg Pound Next Generation, Dangerous Rob, is leading the way and pioneering uncharted waters with his endorsement deal with the luminary Dogg Pound featuring Daz Dillinger and Kurupt.  He keeps pumping out melodic radio jams like Still Blazin’ and Love the Player that keep hitting the airwaves.  Still Blazin’ features the entire Dogg Pound Next Generation conglomeration.  We can see the reasons why The General remains strong and climbing the ladder.

                Dangerous Rob, who is also known as D-Rob or D Rowdy, has been in the rap game for 20 years now.  He's performed with Chingy, Chubb Rock, Club Nevaeu, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Dre, E.P.M.D., Flesh-n-Bone, Ice T, LL Cool J, Melle Mell, Mike Jones, Mr. Mike, NWA, Ready for the World, Tone' Toni Tony, Too $hort, Ying Yang Twins and the Young Bloods.  Dangerous Rob’s roots run much deeper than his discography.  Last March in 2006, Dangerous Rob was seen backstage at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas with Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, and Ice Cube.  This weekend alumni D-Rob will be opening up the homecoming party for Langston University in Oklahoma City.  If that is not enough, he will also be opening for Juvenile on November 10, 2006 at the world-renowned Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

                D-Rob’s music style is simply described as “Middleism” because he is from the “Middle of the map.”  D-Rob further stated, “Middleism is a style that adds a lighter touch to gangsta rap yet still captures the brutal honesty of gangsta rap.”

From the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and back to Tulsa, Oklahoma, there has been a barrage of albums over the years. Dangerous Rob recorded his first rap record at the age of 15 with a group named THOB-MOB.  He put educational goals aside and released his second record with the combined forces of Partners-N-Rhyme.  The record was distributed nationwide and featured the hit single "Cold Chillin’ in the Middle.” The popularity of Cold Chillin’ in the Middle allowed D-Rob to perform with many big named artists.  Dangerous Rob released the album Bakkk From the Middle and featured the song It's a T-Town Thing.

This song, T-Town Thing ,best represents the positive direction that his 'Middleism' style is taking him.  Dangerous Rob’s next album release was At Tha Bank and it gained nationwide attention when Murder Dog Magazine rated it the 8th Best Independent Rap CD in the country.  His last two releases were Grind til You Shine and the S.I.S.T.A. album, which was a compilation of his greatest hits over the last 20 years.

                When asked about his recent successes with Snoop Dogg and the Dogg Pound's newly formed group, The Dogg Pound Next Generation, Dangerous Rob said, "All of my hard work and perseverance is finally paying off and being recognized." His latest album will release this fall.

D-Rob also wants us to know that the mixtape, radio play, and the video "Cause I'm Black" was only the first salvo in a series of future projects.  When asked to explain, Dangerous Rob said, "We [FREEDAM Records] intend to release another video for the song What I'm About, a short film project with other well-known Oklahoma rappers like Nitro and Young Hustlaz, plus another Dangerous Rob album in 2007."
