E-Dawg
Encyclopedia
E-Dawg is a hip hop artist from Seattle, WA. A veteran of the Pacific Northwest hip hop scene, E-Dawg began his career with Seattle rap legend, Sir Mix A Lot
, in the early 1990s. His first national single was "Drop Top" (1993)with Rhyme Cartel Records featuring Filthy Rich and produced by Sir Mix A Lot, Rick Rubin
and Eugenius
.
E-Dawg's sound has often been described as serious, but playful. His recently released singles "I Dip" (2010), "Cars That Go Boom" (2011) and his collaboration with Mix A Lot on the science fiction themed "Rocket Ship"(2011) display this unique quality to his music.
Born Michael Johnson and raised by a single mom in Seattle along with his three brothers, E-Dawg had his first job at a food bank in Seattle’s tough Rainier Valley by the age of just 9 years old. Growing up in poverty, E-Dawg looked to music stars like Michael Jackson
as role models. E-Dawg met Sir Mix A Lot during one of Mix’s early house parties at Seattle’s Rainier Vista and he soon became another such role model to E-Dawg.
After a brief career in a Seattle street gang, Sir Mix-A-Lot
surprised E-Dawg with a phone call one day asking if he was done with gang banging and within 24 hours E-Dawg was rapping on ”Ya’ Can’t Slip,” (the B-side of Mix-A-Lot’s megahit “Baby Got Back
”).
In 2009 E-Dawg signed with Sir Mix A Lot's Rhyme Cartel Records. He continues to make music and also host his own show "E'S WAY," a Seattle based radio show that features Pacific Northwest artists on 1150AM KKNW.
