Dooney Da Priest "Pull Your Pants Up"

I read an interview recently, were the artist Common expressed that President Elect Obama "is going to change hip-hop for the better."

Common went further to say he thought "hip-hop artists will have no choice but to talk about different and more positive things, and try to bring a brighter side to hip-hop". Well, I really feel this "change" is beginning to happen and "Dooney" Da Priest's latest release from Malaco Music Group "Pull Your Pants Up" is a prime example of this NEW street movement.

“Da Priest”, is a rapper and an ordained Minister who works as part of T. D. Jakes Shepherd’s Staff at the Potter’s House in Dallas. He along with several Dallas City Officials, has recently launched a war against the sagging pants trend that has become popular amongst the rap/hip-hop community in our inner cities.

"Dooney" is not your normal "christain/gospel" rapper. One would find his style of delivering a "positive" message to be a bit controversial. Yet, I find it to be a raw, urban sound with a hardcore beat that the streets can relate to.
