Interview Mr doc and it will be a full circle! Court bringing great content!

[@MacMuscles]

I got to say the DE is one of the best in Sacramento and I'm so glad to see and hear from him all these years he had a song called The Hammer I used to play over and over again

[@FirstDegreeTheDE]

Yes sir!

[@midwestcardlegend8069]

Buck buck. Yeahhh yeahhhh buck buck. Yeahhhhhh that song is hard as fuck

[@mattchristian552]

Planet Zero and Damn That DE! are classic albums that play all the way through - no filler tracks. Great concept records that almost sound like continuations of Loaded.

[@FirstDegreeTheDE]

This was an amazing interview Court. The DE was so intriguing when you heard him on tracks, Witty, Funny and Charismatic. He was part of the soundtrack to my life in my heydays in the 90’s. Thank you DE for the amazing art and funk you created. Much Love to a true Sac-Town legend.

[@numskullyukmouth]

@@FirstDegreeTheDE Man.. I'm a huge fan! I started bumping you in high school back in 99 in Seattle. So many classic, funny lines stick out when I think of you. Off the top .. 'that muh fugga Degree keep a leash on his D*ick", "so lead us to the cheap sh!t", "still mixing up whiskey sours, I like them heavy" "even when I'm broke I'm feeling like a million bucks".. "Swallow it, SWALLLLLLLOW ITTTTTTTT.." Thank you for being different and making a impact.

[@adams2270]

Been listening to First Degree since I first heard Dr. Dulow. Growing up it was always fun sharing his music with friends who had never heard anything like it. People owe it to themselves to check out his classics "Time" "Crackufunction." "Based on I'm a Rilla" "You Ain't Fuck with My Time" ... shit the list goes on. and don't sleep on his new stuff... "Yes, Please" is one of his best songs ever!

[@FirstDegreeTheDE]

Thanks for checkin out Trigger!

[@carlswain8103]

First Degree def one of the best rappers (especially originality) from Sacramento (west coast full stop), he always brings something new, and has evolved so well over the years. So good to finally see him in a proper interview and get to know the real man a little more. I'm from the UK, and have been buying his music since '96. Yes, BUYING :)

[@FirstDegreeTheDE]

Thank you Carl

[@carlswain8103]

[@621ELECTRONICS]

I urge anyone that has never heard of MrTheDE to check out his catalog of music and tracks featuring him, he’s got a style unique to himself and has made a lot of great music spanning like 30 years or more now. There might be a generational gap from the younger audience so perhaps they won't understand why it sounds so different from current trendy music, but I’m almost 40 and back in my day, lol, hip hop had unique styles and sounds, loved it and still do, miss that to be honest, but DE well worth checking out if you never have. I couldn't even imagine a world without him on Lynches older albums, DE was perfect on those.

Met Mr The DE for a album launch at Rasputin in Campbell near San Jose. I brought my cd notebook in for him to sign my FU1 cd and he seen I had almost the entire collection. He was so dam cool he asked to sign all of my DE cds that I still have today. He seen I had a broken DE CD and we went straight to the trunk of his car and replaced it free for me.
