Dudley Perkins "Holy Smokes" Drops On E1 formerly Koch Records

Download: "Fonky Soul"

Hailing from Oxnard, California and beyond, Dudley Perkins (rap moniker Declaime) gained critical acclaim for collaborating with fellow Oxnardian heavyweights such as Madlib, Oh No, and Kankick. His raw commentary is known for being deeply rooted in funk and feel good grooves of yesteryear while maintaining today’s edgy truths of love and war.
"HOLY SMOKES" is his latest release with Georgia Anne Muldrow behind the boards and is named aptly so- its swirling organs, gut-wrenching concepts and hard hitting rhythms are bound to astound you. On "Holy Smokes," Perkins continues in his quest for self discovery and questions the universe at large.
Perkins debuted on the hip hop scene in 1995 on Tha Alkaholiks’ album "Coast II Coast" as Declaime. His debut full-length, "Andsoitisaid" (produced by Madlib) followed in 2001. In 2004, "Conversations with Dudley," an album that bridged his two musical identities (that of Declaime and Dudley Perkins) came out. Stones Throw released "A Lil Light" in 2003 and "Expressions (2012 A.U.)" in 2006. Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow joined forces for 2007’s "G&D" on Look Records.

The video for “Sally” has had close to a million views on You Tube.
