MILANO aka M.Dott Money
Long before Hyphy blew Milano was blazing the streets with his own style of lyrical dope, and well after the Hyphy hype dies down, Milano will stand tall with the Bay area heavyweight's who have been reppin for the Yay area from day one. The Bay area has been reveling in the attention that the Hyphy movement has cast upon its region as of late, but Milano is about wake the game up to another style of Bay Area music that is representative of Bay hip-hop in its truest form. Born in Las Vegas, rapper Milano moved to East Oakland at the age of seven where life was much more intense than the bright lights of the Vegas strip. With his family settling in Richmond, CA. Milano was fascinated by the streets almost to the point of no return. Though he was a gifted athlete of a football coach, Milano was addicted to the hustler's lifestyle, he played his hand in the street, but his desire for long money and his love for hip-hop made him reassess his priorities. Though his father constantly encouraged him to nurture his affinity for sports, Milano wanted to follow the beat in his heart. "I always knew I wanted more than what I saw around Me." says Milano.
Milano tried his hand as a part of a group called the "Sons of Funk" signed to Master P/ No Limit Records. During that time Milano recorded with No Limit artist Silk the Shocker and started to make his presences known. The group was short lived and Milano moved forward on his own. He started appearing in music videos which lead to him being cast in a Destiny's Child video along with others. Milano would later grace the stage performing with Platinum & Gold Recording artists Ludacris (DTP), Chingy, Cassidy, Baby Bash, Frankie J, and Akon. This led him to tour with Akon. Milanos next move was to independently release a single titled "Wishing on a Star". The single received significant air play from Philadelphia to Sacramento. The songs success sent Milano on a radio promotional tour where he was approached by up and coming record label ICCE Records, who signed him immediately.
