Bay Area rapper formerly known as Dre Dog. His rhymes are methodical, clever and most of all, original. As Dre Dog he released "The New Jim Jones", which had local success. His lyrics rooted in the Bay Areas drug game and laced with a sinister edge. He followed strong with the equally infernal "I Hate You With a Passion". He shook his old label and reemerging as Andre Nickatina, releasing "Cocaine Raps" and "Raven in my Eyes". Darker, and more sinister than his earlier releases.
