Devin The Dude

Texas rapper, Devin the Dude has been a guilty pleasure of hip-hop since he and his Odd Squad hit the scene in the early 90’s. Devin the Dude, born Devin Copeland, began his hip-hop career when he joined Houston’s Coughee Brother’s crew. Soon thereafter he and Rob Quest added longtime friend Jugg Mugg to the equation and created the Odd Squad. The group’s original dj, known as DJ Screw submitted their demo to Rap-A-Lot records CEO James Smith and they were immediately signed in 1992. From the homicidal ballad, « Just Because, » to the hilarious skits, Devin plans to make his fans see the cultural dramedy of everyday living. Although the perils of the streets aren’t always a laughing matter, humor always gives hope as far as the lyrical crooner is concerned.
