One look at the Philadelphia born, Virginia raised El Prezidino, reveals a formidable Hip Hop artist. One listen to his album or live show reveals that he is in a league of his own; crushing the stereotypes of what a hip hop artist can be. El Prezidino, the hip-hop and songwriting virtuoso currently residing in the D.M.V. (Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia area), is poised to become the next artist to carve his own lane into national acclaim and notoriety. Backed by his diverse and eclectic band - M:O.R (Music Over Recognition), El Prezidino doesn't look, sound, or act like an artist that is currently "under the radar". With energetic live shows that are comparable to buzzworthy indie rock bands, and the ability to deliver a story reminiscent of great suspense novel writers, you can see why many music fans and hip-hop taste-makers in the Washington D.C. area are beginning to proclaim that El Prezidino is one of the "next" artists to watch.

El Prezidino's highly anticipated promotional album ALMOST GENIUS ALMOST CRAZY, was released on June 1, 2010 (this digital album can be streamed and/or downloaded for free at http://music.prezidino.com). He is also in the process of recording his first full length album to follow up his 2009 debut EP. The Illness (EP), released in March of 2009, gave El Prezidino his first major accomplishment as a recording artist, landing at #3 on the CMJ Hip-Hop ADDS chart. During the 2009 spring season, this album was featured in numerous Top Ten Charts at college radio stations across the country….and Canada. The newest album, ALMOST GENIUS ALMOST CRAZY is beginning to receive rave reviews because of its fusion of hip-hop, rock, pop, and electronic music. Each song concept has been carefully crafted and that is what separates this project from the plethora of mixtapes out there. With songs like "2010 Whip Appeal" (an exotic ode to Babyface's 1989 song Whip Appeal) over OutKast's 'Hollywood Divorce', the politically charged "Burnt Water" over Muse's 'Sing for Absolution', and the introspective "Mr. Misunderstood" over Common's 'Misunderstood', it's clear that the songwriting ability that El Prezidino displays on ALMOST GENIUS ALMOST CRAZY goes beyond the surface level writing of so many artists. The musical selection really has something that can connect with music fans of almost all genres. "I've always believed that music is the weapon of the future, and although it's taken me about 3 years, I think I'm finally creating music that is in-line with that statement," declares the 6'-4" recording artist. "Urban music consumers have shown within the past few years that they won't just settle for the same old music that has no substance, music that isn't saying anything, or it's saying too much of the wrong thing. I feel like my music is laced with a lot of integrity, artistry, and passion……and its vital to me that music consumers realize that I won't pervert that artistry for the sake of a buck."

After years of developing his style, image, and enhancing his songwriting ability, El Prezidino formed 3FMG with his reconnected high school friend and music producer/designer Eliezer "the EARchitect" Lee, and music producer Tony "T-ONE" Galloway. The fusion of unique talent has led to El Prezidino being able to creatively push the boundaries of modern music. All three individuals are emphatic about ensuring 3FMG leaves its imprint on the world, not just the hearts and ears of music lovers. With this in mind, El Prezidino has long term goals of becoming a philanthropist, similar to the likes of Bono from U2, Russell Simmons, and Bill Gates. "If you're not going to use your fame to change the world in a positive way, then you don't deserve it," El Prezidino admonishes. El Prezidino, aka Demetrius Doss, has always seemingly been around the spot light, as he was first known for his athletic skills as a wide receiver at Marshall University where he played alongside Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich. While enrolled full-time as a student and playing major college football, El Prezidino's passion for music was carried out while hosting a hip-hop radio show twice a week on WMUL-FM for nearly three years.

Deeply personal and passionate about his music without losing any mainstream appeal and entertainment value, El Prezidino is one of the next artist's turning the D.M.V. into the new music industry hotbed of talent, ala New York, L.A., Atlanta, Houston, and Miami. With a variety of shows on the East Coast, from personal "Unplugged" sets to rousing fusions of rock and electronica, and a college tour in the works for fall/winter 2010, this year is shaping up as one to remember for this energetic hip-hop artist.
