Biography

The addition of the first Southern artist, Boondox, to the growing roster of the Insane Clown Posse's Psychopathic Records during the 2000s indicated the label's expansion of its deranged and murderous brand of rap-rock within the indie rap sphere. The divergence from Boondox's Detroit-based labelmates lies in his hillbilly getup -- scarecrow hat, flannel shirt, and country boots -- and the Southern twang of banjos and harmonicas mixed in with his rap beats. Hailing from Covington, GA, although born in Richmond, GA, Boondox played bass guitar in several local rock bands before venturing out as a rapper. Similar to his Psychopathic brethren, he first started getting his music out via underground tapes as a part of the local outfit Southern Hustlas, Inc. Essentially being at the right place at the right time, one of the tapes he was selling at an ICP concert wound up in the hands of ICP themselves. After back-and-forth phone calls with ICP member Violent J, Boondox recorded his first album in Detroit, The Harvest. Released in July 2006, the whole LP was oversaw by Psychopathic's main producer, Mike E. Clark. Soon afterward, Boondox joined labelmate Blaze Ya Dead Homie's Tombstone Terror Tour as a feature act at the end of summer 2006 in order to promote the album. ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music Guide

Biography

David Hutto was born in Richmond County, Georgia.[1] At the age of five, his uncle tried to kill him by drowning him in a swimming pool.[2] Hutto was not popular at his school, frequently got into fights and experimented with drug use.[2] He listened to heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica and Sepultura, and played bass guitar in several local metal bands before seeking a solo career as a rapper under the name "Turncoat Dirty".[2] While selling cassettes of his early recordings at an Insane Clown Posse concert, the group took notice of his music, and after several phone calls with Joseph Bruce, Hutto was signed to Psychopathic Records, making him the first Southern hip hop performer on the label.[1]

On July 11, 2006, Hutto released his first album, The Harvest, featuring appearances from Axe Murder Boyz, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid. A music video was filmed for the album's first single, "They Pray With Snakes," directed by Bruce,[3] and Hutto toured with Blaze Ya Dead Homie to promote the album.[1] In 2007, Hutto released the extended play PunkinHed. It peaked at #10 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and #27 on the Top Independent Albums chart.[4] During the same year, he joined Psychopathic Rydas, performing under the name "Yung Dirt".[2] On May 13, 2008, Hutto released his second studio album, Krimson Creek, a more personal work drawing from his past.[2] It peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart, #13 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and #113 on the Billboard 200.[5]

Hutto is set to release his third studio album, South of Hell.[6]
