Reporting live from the mean streets of Detroit.  Dopehead is the unofficial spokesperson from the underground of the Motor City.  Violence, poverty, hustling, drugs, and most of all, the crippling reality of his environment are the elements that have shaped Dopehead into an ambassador of the grind.  His messages are not for the faint of heart.  His music is an accurate depiction of street life and all of it's woes, but he's not just a street dude.  He's a thinker, he's wise, he's insightful and introspective, and above all, he's unconventional.  His outlandish lyrics and punchlines only serve as an outlet and platform to speak or intrinsic issues from the hood, to the industry, even politics.  The Bruiser Brigade rhymer has an irrefutable and likable conjuration about his lyricism and rhyme schemes that make his music contagious.  His loyalty and adoration to getting "Jooky" (fly, twisted, trunt up, etc.) allow for a  lighter side and party quality, which is quite atypical from the majority of his work.  Amidst the habitual vulgarity of his lyrics, Dopehead's words carry extreme and significant value, placing importance on the notable origins of hardcore hip-hop, as opposed to some of the softer music in the modern rap world.  He is rhyming the absolute TRUTH and making no excuses or apologies for it.  Not often can a rapper's messages be so powerful that their incredible talent simply as just a rapper is overlooked and underrated, but that's what we have here.  He writes and spits with some of the best in the game, old or new.  With two tapes released and one on the way, King Jooky himself is gearing up for a career in hip-hop that is filled with longevity, success, and outspoken conduct that will fundamentally change the views of not only the rap industry, but alter the perception of the art form as a whole.  Let's all get Jooky.
