Event Description

Dom Kennedy graced the streets of Los Angeles in 2008 with the release of his debut project, titled "25th Hour." The Leimert Park native, born August 22, 1984, made a name for himself by promoting, distributing and, along with Jason Madison, co-producing the "25th Hour" mix-tape. After receiving local and nationwide praise, Dom followed up in the spring of 2009 with the independent release of "Future Street/Drug Sounds," an all-original collection that seized the attention of major labels, blogs and Hip Hop fans worldwide. In the fall of 2009, Dom teamed up with DJ Sour Milk of Power 106 and the Los Angeles Leakers to produce his third and most recent project, titled "Best After Bobby." On March 25th, 2010 Dom released "From The Westside, With Love" a free download, that plays like a true studio album. This release would legitimize his fan base nation-wide, receiving over 65 thousand downloads.

Dom remembers, at the age of 12, when he would listen to the great Hip-Hop records of that time envisioning what life would be like if the world could hear what he had to say. He would walk around the house free styling, and performing for his mom and sisters who were amazed by the amount of talent he possessed at such a young age. "Leimert Park, what's cool?" Dom explains, “is a common theme used in my music to show the significance of the neighborhood that birthed me." Dom's responsibility to his family, his neighborhood and the younger generation, is what drives his dedication to Hip Hop. "I know what rap did for me when I was younger and how it affected me... a chance to do that and give it back, I had to." Dom often speaks about his feeling of obligation to the youth. "When I would listen to Outkast for example, it would take me right to the streets of Savannah, GA where I could almost feel myself riding in a Cadillac with Big Boi and Dre. It gave me that sense of security, that acceptance, as if I was apart of something. Its beyond important for the kids today to see that they can do it too, I don’t mind being the example."

As Dom got older he began to appreciate the music as an art form thus, allowing him to identify with an evolving culture. He understood the art of music and was able to utilize this understanding as an avenue for self-expression. His language now portrays a level of poise and maturity that gives evidence to his musical genius. "I'm probably the best Kennedy after Bobby..." Dom puts in plain words and explains, "this shows the connection I feel with being a leader and someone people can look up to in the future to speak for generations, always with style and presence."

"Hello world, I've arrived," is Dom's motto for everyone. His main objective is to make a global impact through music so that his message lives on. Dom has been verbally endorsed by many, including John Monopoly, Kenny Burns, Rick Ross, Taz Arnold of Sa-Ra, and The Hundreds just to name a few. Where a career in music was once a dream for Dom Kennedy, it has now become a reality.
