I just loooove the fact that he is so humble and was nice to EVERY single person he came in contact with. Take a look at some more pictures of Dwele, as well as, some pics of Nicholas Ryan Gant performing songs from his latest album.
After self-releasing the demo tape Rize in 2000, he released his debut studio album Subject in 2003 through Virgin Records, his second album Some Kinda followed in 2005 and his third studio album Sketches of a Man was released in 2008.
His fourth studio album W.W.W. (W.ants. W.orld. W.omen) was released in 2010.Although Dwele has had somewhat of a short career as a commercially avaliable artist, he has a vast catalogue of material currently unreleased that die-hard fans revere as some of his best work, considerably superior to his material released as a signed artist that showcases the true depth of his artistic and diverse talent, displayed without constraint.
Slum Village invited Dwele to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future). It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia, the all-star group Lucy Pearl and London's New Sector Movement.
Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, who released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop. In a 2005 review in The Independent, his style was summed up: "Dwele's rooted in vintage soul but isn't stuck in the past, overly reverential or an exercise in pastiche - there's a major hip-hop edge which betrays his original incarnation as a rapper.
"This was around the 'Love Jones' period. Everybody was really into the love poetry and that's where they would go. That was Detroit's premiere poetry spot. Cafe Mahogany is actually where I sold a lot of my first cassettes. They played the Rize album between a lot of the poets there, so that's kinda where people got their first listen to my music. That's actually where I met Baatin and T3 [of Slum Village]."
