P Dope, also known as Dope Boy P, is quickly becoming one of the most authentic and exciting voices in hip-hop. Growing up in Baltimore’s challenging environment, P Dope witnessed drugs, violence, and the struggle firsthand. Raised by a single mother, he was exposed to both the hardships of street life and the values of family and respect. His upbringing gave him a unique perspective that heavily influenced his music.

From a young age, P Dope found solace in writing rhymes. He started his rap journey at just 10 years old, influenced by the older dope boys around him, and would later form a label with his friends while still in high school. As a teenager, his focus shifted to hustling to fund his music career, and this relentless drive earned him recognition as one of Baltimore’s top-tier MCs.

However, P Dope’s life took a drastic turn in 2010 when he survived a near-fatal shooting that left him severely wounded. Hit in the head, face, arm, and back, doctors feared he would be paralyzed.

Inspired by legends like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nas, and The Lox, P Dope embraced the mindset of transcending street life to achieve success.

His work has gained industry co-signs from influential figures such as Brian “B.Dot” Miller and led to collaborations with notable artists like Conway The Machine, Boosie Bad Azz, and El Camino. P Dope’s music has also been featured in film syncs and commercial campaigns, proving that his vision for himself and his label is not just a dream but a reality.
