Interview: Dorrough – (7/29/10)

Last year Dorrough was thrown into the national spotlight with the success of “Ice Cream Paint Job,” off of the Dallas emcee’s debut album, Dorrough Music.

A year later, Dorrough’s gearing up to drop his sophomore release and has hit the airwaves with another major single, “Get Big.”  The song is taking off fast, as it was already MTV Jams‘ Jam of The Week and created a world wide trending topic on Twitter, upon its premiere on BET’s 106 & Park.

HipHopAtLunch.com met up with Dorrough earlier this week while he was finishing up the album, also titled Get Big. Dorrough spoke about working with Nitti on the producer’s biggest hit since Yung Joc’s “It’s Goin’ Down,” the upcoming video for “Hood Bitch Fetish” featuring Yo Gotti, and what it’s like recording with Jim Jones, as well as homestate-heroes Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, and Slim Thug.

Being in the studio for six hours with Jim Jones sounds like a hilarious time!  I can’t wait to hear the song they eventually created.

Like we mentioned in the interview, Dorrough’s “Get Big” has been killing it on MTV Jams and, along with 8 ball & MJG’s “Bring It Back,” is helping to get Nitti back on top of his production game.

Shout out to fellow Dallas rapper Tum Tum on his video cameo.  Also, if you didn’t catch Mark Cuban, he comes in at the 45 second mark.

It’s crazy how “Get Big” went from a hot mixtape track with only two verses to Dorrough’s lead single off of the new album, ha!  Check out the original version of “Get Big,” as well as Dorrough’s street single, “Hood Bitch Fetish,” on his Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Number 23.

Download – “Hood Bitch Fetish” (Freaturing Yo Gotti).

“Hood Bitch Fetish” is currently one of the hottest songs in Dallas, and should only get more spins after the official video drops in early August.  The track’s remix, featuring Gorilla Zoe, has one of my favorite Dorrough verses:

“Lil momma only 21,
Her momma only 35,
But she go to school though,
Mean, but she cool though,
Jazzy and she classy, but she quick to act a fool though,
Car and her crib and her background all clean,
Used to work at Walmart, now she work at Walgreens.”

Those lines about Walmart and Walgreens are hilarious!

Chamillionaire – “Main Even” (Featuring Paul Wall, Slim Thug, & Dorrough)

Download – “Main Event.”

Like Dorrough said in our interview, it’s an honor to have some of Texas’ biggest artists reach out to him for a guest verse.  What made it even more special, was the fact that those third coast emcees were on top of the rap game back when Dorrough first started taking his craft seriously and pursuing a rap career.  If Mike Jones were on the track instead of Dorrough, I would have sworn this was 2005 all over again!

“Main Event” will be on Chamillionaire’s upcoming Venom album, but before that drops, be sure to pick up Get Big on August 31st!
