READ FULL INTERVIEW HERE

Hood Illustrated released their 10th issue #BestInThaMidwest edition and amongst the 17 Faces You Should Know was non other than Chicago born and Stack Or Starve Approved founder, Dough From Da Go.

What is your HOOD Story?
Im defanitely from the neighborhoods and connect with the streets since ive been passionate about the music games years ago. I help those that i feel have a shot, and take it to the next level by assisting with things needed on the admin or marketing level. Im very in tune with the hood, and want to see us come from the bottom and stay at the top.

You are constantly making moves. What are some determining factors that come into place when you are presented with these different opportunities to grow your brand?
Believing in God, staying humble and keeping a dope work ethic. I think im the hardest working one out of the midwest, and i say that with confidence. Its all in the hustle at the end of the day. Ive got alot of people i look up to and carry those blue prints and blend em with my hustle and expertise and move how im suppose to move. I think its all in your ambition and consistency.

Who Is Dough From Da Go? Hustler, Entrepreneur,  Promoter, Etc… ( What Defines you as a brand)
Defanitely a hustler. Entrepreneur and visonary when it comes to the indpendents and being a resource to help other brands remain large and become large.

What currently motivates you to continue and grind it out like you do?
Passion as well as paying attention to the past and current winners of our time. Legacy and respect is real important to me, i take everything i do seriously and move
with certain mannerisms in order to be respected amongst the elite. In addition im just motivated by life, journey and being better with everything i do.

What can we expect from you this year?  Are you working on any projects, Endorsing any additional brands, etc…

Alot of work. The Relaunch Of "Stack Or Starve Approved" as well as "Female Flow" with my Business partner and long time friend, Missy B.  Of course working heavy with Def Jam...alot of artists dropping this year. Also fucking with 300 Ent. Sony/ RED and a few other labels on the major side. My clothing Brand "Bag Language" will be launching two season lines, also my new website is being developed where we will showcase and highlight whos grinding the indy scene. I have a handful of artists im breaking into the game: Ray iLLa, Hardknock, also a female by the name of Keish Keish, a couple artists on my radar also are: ChinChilla Meek from Harvey, IL & an artist named from Chicago named Tony Cartel. Im also going to be taking Lil Mouse to a new level. I am back producing also, i am going to shock people with the new production, we are dropping a total of 5 projects this year, Ep's & albums with my brothers Producer SC & Tony Baines. We gonna bring that vibe back to the city for sure. Im excited about the ventures & works ahead.... Eveyrthingz Workin'!!!

Many artist / brands have a lane that they are comfortable moving in. If you had to describe your lane and where you feel the  most comfortable what would that lane be?
The lane of observation, the humble lane but the dont take no shit lane. Im very key on relationships, but kissing ass was never a sport i played lol. #RealRecognizeReal

What is your ultimate goal for the Stack or Starve brand?

Well i feel we have already set trends and had success at breaking artists in the market and taking the dj crew to the next level as well as putting out classic projects. Now we want to continue breaking artists on a new level and let the new mixtape brands come in and do their thing. But ultimately its going to be doing some big tours and taking the brand to a corporate level.

Why should consumers support your movement / buy the brands you push.  What separates you
from every other brand ambassador?
Independence first and foremost. We stay authentic to the streets and we also have an ear for talent as well as remain respected based on not forgetting where we come from.
Im absolutely always confident that consumers are satisfied with our quality and vision for out presentations when it comes to the products and services. In addition, what seperates myself from these other brand ambassadors is im always ahead of the game and thinking of the next move to become the best move!

What do you want to tell the HOOD Illustrated Readers about Dough From Da Go? What are your last words to the HOOD?

Rock with me, reach out to me @DoughFromDaGo on social media DoughFromDaGo@gmail.com , lets chop it up and take the visions to the next level. Im always working and always applying pressure to the game. Shouts to the HOOD and big shouts to Hood illustrated for staying 1000 with me and the grind throughout the years! Bless up!
