Unsigned Hype: D.O.A.


The final Unsigned Hype act of 1991 was the group D.O.A., appearing in The Source's December issue. The group consisted of rappers MC Slim and Kool-Aid, who were from the Acres Home section of Houston, Texas. They had a socially conscious style that reflected on "the drug infestion, gang violence and police brutality" of their hometown, and "kick positive ideas from a ruthless perspective".

I could not find any information on MC Slim, but I did discover that a rapper named Kool-Aid made several guest appearances during the late 1990s and early 2000s. He appeared on several Southern releases. In 1999, he made several features on Throwed Yung Playa by Yungstar, before guest appearing on songs by Wood, Grace, Den Den and Bo-Leg in early 2000s.
