New Zealand rap artist, David Dallas, moves from his home city of Auckland to New York City in hopes of finding hip-hop success in the big apple. Part 1 of his 'Coming To America' series takes place in his new Harlem apartment as he discusses his #1 selling rap albums in New Zealand and what's next for his transition to the States, including his recent partnership with Duck Down Music. Stay tuned for Part 2 later this month as we explore his life in Auckland, New Zealand.
With a number of different projects in the works, the man who has worked along side the likes of Joell Ortiz, Ty Fyffe, Focus (Aftermath Ent.) and Olu Dara is now dedicating time to taking his brand to the next level.
It was after releasing the Appetizer project with eMC's Punchlyne that Fokis silently took some time to dedicate to the emergence of his own brand, Loyalty Digital Corp. "These past few months I have been putting in long hours structuring my company," the multi-faceted New Yorker explained. "I have been learning the ins and outs of running a successful business, being a CEO and still be able to maintain the roles of artist and producer."
This time of reflection and hard study saw Fokis partner with multi-platinum producer Ty Fyffe and together they created the online competition 'TY FYFFE PRESENTS RAW AND UNCUT'. "Fokis is a real professional and business man whom I have a lot of respect for..a real pleasure to work with," says Ty Fyffe. Allowing himself the opportunity to nurture talent has always been a vital component of Fokis's assault on the music industry as a CEO.
Over the next six months Fokis will be releasing a slew of projects including his solo album, FOKEEZY FOSHEEZY. He also plans to release a compilation album featuring various artists over his production.
Included here is “Holdin’ On” f/RJ Swift, Potent and Rasheeda Wallace from Fokis’ A Walk Through Myspace Vol 2 project.
