"Shit I'm from Arkansas, and came to DMI (Des Moines,IA), to take care of my lil brother when my momma got locked up. I
came acrossed a poster for "Bad Boy South's - Hood2Hood Tour", so I found a studio I could record in, and signed to
Illyricum Entertainment to manage me, and promote me." - Randy Dean a.k.a. "Tha Dean"
Tha Dean is 19 years old, and is native to Little Rock, AR. He is viewed in Arkansas as family, as well in Des Moines, where
he is proving the drive to rise from underdog, to a high end artist, both producing beats for himself, the label, and it's clients,
that is in addition to co-producing his album, as well as other artists on the label. Watch for him on the road in 2008
promoting his debut album "Tha Dean of All Things".
