Introducing Dubbs Lane

Dubbs Lane was born C. Lanehart in one of the poverty stricken neighborhoods on the North Side of Baton Rouge, Louisiana on September 16th, 1983. The efforts of his mother and father made it possible for him to rise above the crime on the streets and focus on music. By the time he was nine years old he listened to Rob Bass' "It Takes Two", which he memorized verbatim. Initially, rap was a form of entertainment for Dubbs, but when he started writing his own lyrics at the age of ten, rap became his secret passion.

Possessing a "Do it yourself attitude", Dubbs recorded, mixed, and produced his latest project "Welcome to Myspace Vol. 1". Keeping in mind that at the time of completion he was still an unknown underground artist, he decided to make it a free download available through his myspace music page. Through heavy promotion and dedication, Welcome to Myspace Vol. 1 has been downloaded well over 2,500 times from September 2007-March 2008. Welcome to Myspace Vol. 1 served as a platform for Dubbs Lane to increase his visibility in order to build the necessary buzz he needed to have his name mentioned as of one the "Fresh Faces" of the industry.

With the strong will instilled in Dubbs Lane from his parents, he is no stranger to "paying dues". Without any representation to book shows for him, he personally sought out promoters with his demo and performed on spot auditions, in hopes of being put on the performance bills of future shows. As a result of his tenacity he can be seen constantly performing at various open mic nights and underground shows around the DMV (Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area. Through his dedication, he has become a frequent performer at The Turntable Hip Hop Club, The Black Hole Club, The Sonar, and The Penguins just to name a few. His most notable performances to date were Spotlight Live in Time Square New York for the 50 Mics Tournament Challenge. Most recently he became an East Coast finalist on The Source Magazine Unsigned Hype Tour.

Dubbs Lane has evolved from humble beginnings, making song parodies and mix-tapes, to starting a record label with the help of a childhood friend. As a partner of Fresh Air Ent., C. "Dubbs Lane" Lanehart thrives on overseeing the completion of albums that can be listened to from start to finish without ever desiring to skip a song. With the state of instability that the Hip Hop industry is in, Dubbs Lane is eagerly waiting to tackle the task at hand. Dubbs Lane has been profoundly influenced by Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Master P, Ice Cube, and Cash Money. He often uses their success and business savvy as a blueprint for starting his own corporation from the ground up and turning his brand into a household name someday. He is a driven perfectionist and it shows in his various music endeavors.

Now this is Dubbs Lane and I encourage anyone who doesn't know who this man is to go and read about him through the above bio and hit his links.

Dubbs hit me on MySpace well over a year ago!  I listened to his music and I was really liking what I was hearing!!  I had seen him on stage a couple times before I introduced myself!  And when I did it's been love ever since!!

This man gives one hell of a show.  He is more than an emcee, he is an entertainer!!  Don't give him a cordless mic because he will get off stage and go through the crowd.  He tries to get the crowd to interact with him and he succeeds to the fullest!!

I have seen him perform at so many different venues and every time he gains respect from his peers and new fans at every show!  I am so happy to have my own Dubbs Lane cd!!  I think you should go get yours.  I don't think you will be disappoint at all!!  The link is right up there!!  It's free!!

I love Dubbs Lane!!
