Mythodical Joe was born, Dante Dumas, in Frankfurt Germany to a military family, bounced from country to country, state to state, and never really had a place to call home. A weekend trip to NYC in the late 90’s changed that. What began as poetry to impress girls, soon took on another form after putting rhymes to a beat at the lunch table. Joe would spend the next ten years fine-tuning his craft. Fast forward to 2005, out west, Joe won a rap battle hosted by San Diego's 90.3FM. He attracted the attention of some local artists and would go on to join the group HGP (Home Grown Productions) releasing two indie albums, “Rules of The Game Vol 1 & 2, under the pseudonym ‘Small Money.’ He also released a solo album entitled “Two Sides II Every Story” selling 1,000 copies. Discouraged by an unsuccessful sit-down with Capital Records in 2006 he disappeared from the music scene altogether. In 2019, after a conversation with his daughter about the current state of hip-hop, Joe took on his new stage name, Mythodical Joe, with the intent to bring back that "old school", meaningful, powerful, and inviting vibe. Covering topics dear to his heart with lyrics both raw and real to life, Mythodical Joe’s debut album “Something to Say” will be released across all streaming platforms March 31, 2023.
