#PeepTheVisual: Dot Demo - "Roberto Clemente" - RESPECT. | The Photo Journal of Hip-Hop Culture

Bronx dweller, Dot Demo takes it to the streets of New York, debuting visuals to his most recent single “Roberto Clemente”, off his Outer Body Experience mixtape.

Born and bred in the Mecca of hip-hop, Derek Ward grew up where it was both a gift and a curse, as he was raised in unforgiving streets that fostered stories of events that a young boy should never live through. Through his lyrical gift, Derek transformed to Dot and began telling his stories the best way he knows how. Rapping since the age of 13, Dot later evolved to dotDemo, or Demo for short.

His early skills were heavily influenced by R&B and Hip Hop artists such as Erykah Badu, Tribe Called Quest, Black Moon, J Dilla, Jay Z and The Bronx’s own Camp Lo. Through his rapping, networking and philanthropic ideas, Demo has created what he describes as a “regime” that includes himself and several other new and upcoming artists that all share the same vision. Dot describes his style as a melodic flow that uses verbal acrobatics to create colorful imagery for his audience to bring “the 90’s in the thousands”.
