Figuratively speaking, 15-time RIAA Platinum-certified record producer Dubba-AA is bringing Kodak Black into the church community of West Palm Beach with his holy “All I Need” visual single.
Quantifying the sound of hits he’s crafted over the last decade for Kodak Black and NBA YoungBoy, Dubba-AA blends trap and gospel in the Trill Phil-directed video as he belts his rap-sung bars while seeking refuge in the pews of Hurst Chapel in West Palm Beach.
In an Instagram post on Friday (February 25), Dubba-AA revealed how his humble beginnings influenced the release and represent the strength he manifested during his journey from the trenches to the top of the charts.
“We grew up in the church, then we got older gettin active in the streets bc we needed money, cars, and kicks,” he wrote in part. “This first record ain’t so much only about God. Then it is about the thing/things that makes your soul tick. A big thank you to the real fans the ones that are here right now, before the Grammys, before Platinum Plaques, or #1s on Billboard. All I Need Out on all Platforms #AStormIsComing.”
Dubba-AA further explained how his intentions behind writing “All I Need” were rooted in his desire to force his listeners to take a moment to be introspective.
“When I wrote ‘All I Need,’ it was intended for the listener to tap in with who they really are,” he said. “Whatever it is you need in your life, listening to this song will bring it out of you.”
While “All I Need” marks Dubba-AA’s first release of 2022, he’s been in his artist-producer bag for years, starting in 2018 with his debut “Raccades” single.
Dubba-AA fully jumped into the waters as an artist with his 2019 The Flex Tape mixtape series, which his home to his Latto-assisted “Can’t Be Mine” banger.
Now, Dubba-AA is focused on carefully carving out his lane as a solo artist, and has joined forces with indie label icons+giants, in partnership with ADA Worldwide, Warner Music Group’s independent label and artist services arm.
Last November, Dubba-AA also joined forces with veteran rapper Bow Wow for their “Hold You Down” collaborative single which samples the Beware Of The Dog lyricists 2005 hit “Let Me Hold You” featuring Omarion.
Dubba-AA has also begun to transcend his career in the music industry by stepping into the role of an executive producer for VH1’s hit television show Signed, which follows three music moguls, Lenny S, Rick Ross and The-Dream, as they develop unsigned Hip Hop and R&B artist in the city of Atlanta.
