The world of hip hop has made a dramatic change. For the better or for the worse? No one knows. But it has lost the hard, rugged, raw street attitude that put hip hop on the map. More of the fantasy, booty/jewel/automobile worship and less of the anger and darkness that made hip hop part of the music scene.

Enter Vicious Dogg, better known as V Dogg. V Dogg is here to bring back the in-your-face, hard-as-nails hip hop attitude. He does throw in some of today's commercial appeal, but to a lesser extent. V Dogg's raw and real lyrics instantly grab by the throat and don't let go until the song is over. V Dogg's instrumentals are just as haunting and angry as the man himself is. He is V Dogg. Old school flow, new school attitude.

At twenty six years of age, V Dogg is an experienced rapper/producer/songwriter. He has been in the music scene for thirteen years and counting. He threatened to quit one time but music would not let go of him. And now he is back at it with one purpose: to let the world know just who he is. V Dogg is no stranger to hip hop. He is one of the most sought after names in hip hop. He has been on official charts three times at MP3Unsigned and was even chosen as the Featured Artist of the Week there.

V Dogg's legacy in hip hop started with a talent show back in the 7th grade that he placed second in and won fifty dollars. It went on to albums he made for himself, performing at parties, online collaborations, and ultimately bigger, better shows. His biggest accomplishment to date is the fact that he was chosen as Studio 231's Champion of the Open Mic for his hit song "Wiggle 'N' Jiggle".

Back then, he was just cheesy, simple, and kiddie sounding. But now he feels that he is ready. His very first public CD release, entitled "The Merciless Heat Mixtape: Volume One", was released on April 17th, 2007.  His debut album, "It Has Begun" was released on July 29th, 2008.  He is hard at work on his second offering, entitled "Contrary To Popular Belief, which is set for a 2010 release.  Be on the lookout, hip hop fans: V Dogg is coming with a vengeance.
