Dallas rapper Dooney Da Priest pulled his pants up
His new CD and single of the same name on Malaco Records has caught the attention of politicians, the press, radio programmers, street players and everyday people in between.
With hard hitting lyrics like "Saggin' is the N-word spelled backwards,” a hot hook, mad flow and a crunchy track, “Pull Your Pants Up!” has ignited a movement among the youth culture around the world.
Dooney has been spreading his gospel from the Dr. Phil Show to the BBC. Dooney Da Priest (Duwayne Brown) has spent years honing his preaching skills in the pulpit, on the streets and behind the microphone. When he's not on the streets spreading God’s Word, he serves as a minister as part of the Shepherd's Staff at Bishop T. D. Jakes' The Potter's House of Dallas.
The "Pull Your Pants Up!" was launched in Dallas by Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway to get teens to pull their pants up and hide their boxers as a way to get the youth to show some self respect. Similar campaigns have been started in Jackson, Mississippi, Flint, Michigan and elsewhere. Dooney took the idea to another level with “Pull Your Pants Up!” by speaking to the youth as one of their own; one who has faced the same gang activity, drug abuse, prison culture and other inner city realities that they face or pretend to (suburban youth). Dooney Da Priest speaks out against drugs, gangs, pimpin', sexual abuse and promotes change through Jesus Christ.
"Sagging pants and baggy pants are not the same thing, there is a big difference. Because Hip Hop/Rap music or Rap celebrities have promoted this fashion trend to be cool. I wanted to use the same approach in Rap music to make it un-cool and educate saggers on what sagging truly means, "said Dooney.
”Pull Your Pants Up!” is in stores now from Malaco Records and available at www.malaco.com.
