Who is B.Dot?

B [dot] is a 17 y.o. college freshmen that was drawn into music since he was born. & an avid lover of ramen noodles .

Why do you think people are drawn to your music?

Mainly because I'm different & I do & say what others are afraid to, while doing it on a dope beat.

What artist do you listen too?

Depends on the day lol . One day its Drake, Kid Cudi, & Charles Hamilton . The next day it could be Kanye, Biggie, & Wiz Khalifa . Then I might switch it to Justin Nozuka, T-ReQ, & Chester French . So it all basically depends on my mood .

Who would you compare your sound too? Why?

I really dont compare myself to other artists but I've heard I sound like a mix between The Cool Kids & Pharrell . Then on another note I've heard that I flow like Weezy with a Lupe style . I admire all of those artists so I take em as a compliment .

What is your favorite song on your on your upcoming Mixtape Diamonds, Dunkz and Backpackz?

Awh man . I'm about to sound like a "rapper" when I say this lol . But all of the songs are like my children, I just can't choose one . The meaning of each song makes it stand out on its own . Like my song called "iLL.Ness" is one of my deepest tracks to date, it talks about how my mother wanted an abortion while pregnant with me & it talks about my first heartbreak . Then you have a song like "NewKidOnTheBlock" that starts off at a club on "Open Mic Night" and there are two performances one by Benjamin Dotavious & one by B [dot] Jay . In that song you'll learn the differences between the two.

When is that dropping?

My brother ReQ is mixing songs as I type this . But I'm hoping the 1st week of august .

If you could work with any artist who would it be (new, and old)?

Thats a good question . Since KanYe is my favorite artist I would have to say him & the Neptunes . & older rappers ? hmm I would say Biggie because I think it would be beyond dope to have Biggie's wordplay & my flow on a track .

What is your opinion on the current state of hip hop, and where do u fit in ?

I honestly think Hip Hop is in a good state. Not every rapper can be a Lupe or Jay-Z . People hate the dance music, I don't know why, when dancing is one of Hip Hop's main elements . I get mad when its becomes over-saturated though . Like the New Boyz came out with the Jerk movement, but I bet that over 20 new artists get signed thats part of the jerking and its gonna get tiriing after a while. But with people like Drake, Cudi, Charles Hamilton, FrXsh, T-ReQ & myself in the game you'll have nothing to worry about.

Celebrity Crush?

Keri Hilson, Nikki Jean [On Lupe's "HipHop Changed My Life"] & Roxy Reynolds owww lol

Favorite pair of shoes?

Any Nike Dunks, my 1st loves
