about
Young Dru DRU started a buzz in the streets at a young age by being the only "white boy" in the ghetto. even though he was different he got & still gets respect on every turf in Vallejo,ca. He made his first appearance with the highly controversial rap group YOUNG "D" BOYZ. They had so much going on in the streets at that time, they sold thousands of units underground with no distribution. DRU hooked up with a producer by the name of JOHNNY Z. He had a studio down town but was about to close it down so DRU asked him if he wanted to make a compilation. Z thought it was a good idea so they began to record. DRU brought all the underground rappers from the streets & Z got all the bigger named artists to participate. They put out the "707 comp", DRU's debut solo release "FLAME SPITTER", & "707 the sequel". That built the foundation for DRU's career along with help from JAY TEE of N2DEEP/LATINO VELVET by featuring DRU on almost every one of his releases. JAY TEE's been down with DRU forever. JAY TEE"s pops, BABY BASH's pops, & DRU's pops grew up together in vallejo, so they knew each other way before any of this rap shit jumped off. When Z decided to move away, he left DRU with the rights to all DRU's music including a album that they had just finished "IF I HAD A MILLION FANS". DRU put out that album all by himself with no label or distribution. No magazine adds no radio or t.v. exposure no big name producers & no features. That album sold more than any of DRU's previous releases
