Doug E. Fresh’s Sons Are Following In His Hip Hop Footsteps As Rappers…
Their birth names are Dayquan and Solomon Davis. Their rap names are Slim and Trips, and they are the rap duo, Square Off. Slim is 30 years old and Trips is 28. By that age, their dad had already made his impactful mark in hip hop as one of the pioneers of the art, with hits like “Keep Rising To The Top,” of course, “La-Di-Da-Di,” and several more. So it’s no secret to his sons, that they have some big shoes to feel, but they are up for the task.
In a past interview with New York Daily News, Slim and Trips revealed that their dad, Doug E. Fresh, doesn’t offer them handouts, nor act as a crutch for them. He makes them be men and earn their spot mostly on their own:
“We don’t got it easy at all,” said Trips. “We had to grind in this from the bottom, and we’re still grinding.” … “Everything we’re doing, they don’t really see him involved in it,” Slim said. “When he is involved in something, that’s us coming to him…mainly everything we do is our concepts, our own direction.” … While they say their dad has limited involvement, both agreed he is a valuable resource to have nearby. “He gives great advice,” said Slim.
Beautiful….simply BEAUTIFUL!
