DON PABLITO’s music is suffused with his story, his struggles, and especially his triumphs. Born Kashif Dove in South Jamaica Queens during the height of the 80’s crack epidemic, DON’s upbringing was anything but easy: both parents were incarcerated before he turned 18, and his efforts to pull himself out of the trap, though largely successful, led to repeated run-ins with New York law enforcement. Deciding that he needed a change of scenery, DON switched coasts and relocated to South Central LA, where he began to focus on his music career in earnest. Collaborations with Jay Rock (TDE/Interscope) followed, and he began releasing records under the name “All Over Chief”. DON released SUMMER OF CHIEF to critical acclaim and followed up his success with SUMMER OF CHIEF 2, in which he traded bars with A$AP Rocky on “BAKING SODA” and Dipset’s Jim Jones on “BOILIN.” The DON even received a co-sign from lyrical heavyweight Jadakiss. However, DON’s success was short-lived. Police raided his trap house and he was again arrested for selling heroin--but this time, he spent time behind bars. DON PABLITO has since returned to his bicoastal life and completely dedicated it to music. With the release of BIGGIE JIGGA DON, he promises to return hip-hop to the feel of classic records like Ready To Die and Reasonable Doubt. DON’s music is raw, gritty, and emotional but most of all, it is real. Prepare yourself.
