Biography

Domino's "Sweet Potatoe Pie" was a pop and R&B hit from his self-titled debut LP. The album was issued in December of 1993. Three years later, Domino delivered his second album, Physical Funk, which failed to become as successful as its predecessor; Dominology followed in 1997. D-Freaked It marked his long-awaited follow-up in summer 2001.~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Shawn Antoine Ivy,[1] known as Domino, is an American rapper born in St. Louis, Missouri and raised in Long Beach, California.[2] Being a Crip himself, he auditioned for Bloods & Crips collaboration in the early 1990s.[3] His debut album Domino spawned two major hits in the United States[4], including the Top 10 hit "Getto Jam", which reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Several further albums were released, and Domino continued to score hits on the R&B charts into the 2000s.

However, while his debut album was critically well received, Domino was thought to have stolen then up-and-coming rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg's style and therefore boycotted.[5] Three years later, Domino released his second album, Physical Funk, which failed to become as successful as its predecessor.
