(New Video)-@DOWTIMO “Act A Fool”

Having an energetic personality and distinctive rap ability is not the only aspect that sets Darwin Timothee aside from many around him. His passion for rap and desire to succeed are among the qualities that make an exceptional rapper. Better known as Dow, he aspired from Spring Valley’s disguised rap scene. With his game-changing single “One Sight”, Dow is promptly taking over the rap game and gaining acknowledgement amongst his peers and loyalists who enjoy his music. Dow has been writing rhymes since his adolescent days, constantly matches lyrics to hardcore beats.

Born Darwin Roger Timothee, he is the eldest of three children. Growing up, Dow was surrounded by the realities of the streets in Spring Valley. When he encountered trouble as a teen, he ultimately decided to turn his life around by making education his first priority. Dow attended Columbus State University of Atlanta, and lived in Atlanta, Georgia for a while. Dow graduated from a youth detention center in Ogdensburg, NY. Freshly graduated, it was do or die. Dow decided to take his rapping talents and turn them into a prospering career.

His strong work methods and determination to succeed were among the many qualities that allowed Dow to pursue his rap career. Dow noticed that he was putting his potential rap career on the back burner so he took action. Dow is a self-made artist. In 2010, He built his own studio where he regularly raps and writes lyrics. Dow is regularly in the studio, perfecting his rhymes and spitting fire. He appeared on Kerb Money’s debut release, “Northside Massacre” in 2010 where he demolished 16 bars: he compares his fashion sense to vowels. Another one of Dow’s tracks is called “Louder.” This new and hot sensation is about cars, car shows and racing. In this song, Dow is paying homage to his favorite DJ Funk Master Flex, and relating both individual’s love for cars.

As his music career begins to flourish, Dow continues to be the enthusiastic individual he is and this is clearly shown in his music. Dow’s upbeat personality and non-chalant demeanor has affected both his fans and peers alike. Whether it be his personal lingo or his upbeat character, Dow’s individuality is reflected in his work. His comical character works contrary to his valid and serious musical abilities. When asked how long he has been rapping, his initial response was,” Who knows, I just know that I’ve been putting it to the back for too long.” That was the appropriate answer because Dow is transforming into a well-rounded rapper who is definitely going places with his music. One aspect Dow is passionate about in his rhymes is his notorious shindigs which he states in one of his lines: “Where the house parties been, forget about the club the shindigs in.” For all who are not familiar with shindigs, these are laid back get-togethers, often taken place in houses with music, food, and beverages. This line alludes to his desire to always live life and have the most fun while doing so.

Following this turning point in his life, Dow continues to advertise himself and establish himself through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. He is rapidly gaining recognition and respect among equals as well as associates. Some of Dow’s musical influences include Biggy Smalls, Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy. Dow hopes to one day become a successor to these prominent rappers. Dow will be releasing his highly anticipated debut album entitled “Leap Year” in the second quarter of this year which will be followed by “Wedding Crashers” which currently has no release date. The rap game is dominated by the South and New York City but if you travel past the bridges you will find The North. Dow was once told by someone that they couldn’t tell where he was from based on his rapping abilities and his response was”Welcome to the North!”

Here’s Dow’s latest video for “Act A Fool” off of his free mixtape “Scummy In America: available now.
