Fresh out of college, new comer Dee Goodz, is a force to be reckoned with. Already featured on popular websites such as CultureShockMag.com, HipHopDx, and The Smoking Section, his soothing production, wicked punch lines and a personality that a “college kid” can identify with, make it clear that Dee Goodz is destined for greatness. Rhyming over Roy Ayers, a legendary soul and jazz composer’s song ‘The Sunshine’, Dee Goodz talks fly and spits, “I just want the fame and the glamour, couple dames with European grammar, Jet planes with my name on the banner, so I can hit the club and get MC Hammered.”
Sitting down with Dee Goodz it was obvious he was pushing the college stance. “Life wasn’t always parties and girls; I’m from Baltimore, Maryland the inner city, not the best education system at all.” Dee Goodz said his mother wasn’t going to let him become a statistic. They later relocated to ‘Music City’, Nashville, Tennessee, for a change of scenery and better living. “Leaving Baltimore and coming to Nashville had a huge influence on my music, I’ll always be from the north but T.I. is one of my favorite along with others here in the south,” said Dee. “Baltimore is close to Washington D.C which is known for a lot of Go-Go music, groups like E.U. were popular way back then, but we also had Young Buck. There was a mixture of everything because everybody was from all over.”
Presently residing in Nashville, Tennessee or Cashville, Ten-A-Key, Dee Goodz describes the music scene as different than a lot of places. “This is music city and there is plenty of talent but people just don’t like to work with each other or trust each other but it has its own sound. You have your real gritty side where it’s like the trap rapping kind of like Jeezy than there’s me, I mix it all, I’m not a “trapper rapper,” I rap what I know.”
Listeners will agree hearing Dee Goodz freestyle on 90s group, Camp Lo’s ‘Luchini’ beat was quiet amazing and surprising at the same time, he says, “Yeah, I mean that was a hot beat cats like Camp Lo, Snoop, and of course Jay-Z , T.I. and Biggie were big influences. That made it look easy, it was real it was them. So I had to get on that joint and give myself.”
But with the new breed of MC’s equipped with back packs what makes this recent graduate stand out? “Well, I’m not Kanye West hence the name, ‘College Dropout’. I didn’t drop out, I graduated but I did feel that whole mentality at one time.” Unlike his predecessor, Kanye West, a famous college drop out, Dee Goodz made it a priority to graduate all while pursuing his music. Alabama A&M University graduate, Dee Goodz explains, “School itself is a hustle.” Studying, booking shows and still being an active member in the college community, he made it work. “I used the whole mentality as my brand, ‘College Kids Dropout’; it’s my crew, a blog, a lifestyle.” It’s even got him featured on Jameel of Eighty81 and DJ Steph Floss’ ‘Vol. 3 of I’m the DJ He’s the Blogger’, he showcased his best of best lyrics amongst other up and coming artists that are setting trends as far as music goes.
So what can we see Dee Goodz pushing now and what’s next? “I’m currently pushing my second mixtape release, College Kid Dropout Vol. 1 hosted DJ Crisis, it’s a on the 23 track musical escape.” When asked how the collaboration for ‘CKDO Vol.1 with DJ Crisis’ came about he explains, "It was only right to collaborate with the hottest DJ in Nashville.” Mixtape drops from raps best, DJ Drama, Jim Jones and even mixtape king Fabolous, makes him a something to watch, nothing to stop, unstoppable as Jay-Z would say. He also keeps himself relevant, visually. “Yeah, I shot two videos, ‘Demons’ and ‘Special’ with Whit B, it was cool because it was something that we can all identify with in college, the sets, the parties just coolin’.”

Interview with InsideVandy's Versus Magazine
Saturday, January 16, 2010
Interview with Versus Magazine writer Charlie K. I think I did alright. lol
Versus Magizine: What artists have influenced your style/sound? You've probably drawn comparisons to Lil' Wayne...
Dee Goodz: Ha! Wow! Wayne? Really? I take that as a huge compliment, but I just love music. I think we both share that common factor. I'm really a fan a 90's east coast hip-hop. I try to pay a tad bit of homage in my music. But if I could sum it up... I'd want Kanye's emotion, keep it 'playa' like T.I, the swagger of a Fabolous, business mind of Jay-Z, creativity of Andre 3000, and be lyrically inclined as a Lupe.
VM: How do you feel about the state of rap these days?
DG: Kinda glad the way it is. For the simple fact that, people will hopefully start doing music for the love and not for revenue. Money has saturated and killed the creativity in hip-hop. If I could I would do music even if I made no income off of it. I love it that much. Music changed my entire outlook on life.
VM: You represent College Kids and Dropouts—what's that? What's its mission?
DG: Everyone in the world is a college kid or a dropout within a sense. Either you went to school or you didn't. [It's]our own secret way of addressing the public at hand. We feel like we are on both sides of the fence—for we have the ambition and intelligence of a college student, but the laziness of a dropout, in that we don't wanna ever work for anyone without going for our dreams. Therefore, we took our lifestyle and decided to put it out for the world to see... and called it Collegekidsdropout.com.
VM: You've said that you "don't think that school gives you success, but... tells you what you want to do." What do you mean by that?
DG: School is set up for you to gain the knowledge and understanding to become a successful individual at whatever niche or major you choose. Once you gain that understanding it's when you should make into a reality. For some it takes one year, for others four years and a degree.
VM: What's the goal of this mixtape?
DG: To put the demographic of Nashville into my world. Change the game of music from less gun clap-hyped rap to real life. Not saying that the gangster or drug motivated music of our past was totally fake but, due to gentrification stories, our settings have sort of altered. I wanna be the gateway to real hip-hop within our city.
VM: Why did you bring your dream to Nashville?
DG: I'm in a sense from here. Been here since high school. I feel that the city is ready, just needs someone to act as the martyr.
VM: Does Nashville have a solid hip-hop scene? Or are you trying to build one?
DG: Yeah, it's a rap scene. I'm not knocking what's been here, just trying to put my mark in the game. I feel I have something to bring to the table. Nashville has a solid hip-hop scene.
VM: This mixtape is called "Volume 1"... what's next for CKDO?
DG: The world... Naw, just new beginnings to add to the long story of a great ending. I plan to keep pumping out the music as long as God allows, and Collegekidsdropout.com will keep delivering the flavor long as we're alive
