“No doubt in my mind – the absolute best quality about DANK D is his passion for the music he creates. He doesn’t have a lot of high tech equipment or crazy effects – he doesn’t need them. Hip Hop is what DANK D would be doing if he had 1 dollar in his pocket or 100 million. For him, it starts with creating music and ends with rocking a live show.” - Marc Cheatham – The Cheats Movement
“It’s no secret that Sounds of RVA holds DANK D in the highest esteem. And who can help it? D’s been releasing bad joints left and right…” - Sarah Moore - Sounds Of RVA
“DANK D is dope because he brings hip hop back to the essence of an emcee carrying his shows by giving a quality performance. He also has a sense of lyricism that floats like clouds of smoke over a lot of the weighed down and over-materialized subject matter of a lot of today’s hip hop artists. A quality addition to the RVA and DMV hip hop scene.”
- Mike Kemetic - Audio Mass Transit
“Listening to DANK D rhyme is like watching a hot knife cut through butter. It’s just that smooth. This cat looks like he might be able to raise the underground hip hop scene in RVA to a whole new level on his own. Everyone else better bring their A game if they plan to keep up.” - Aaditya Ajmani - Husky Pants Productions
