Where Did The Image Of D - Holmez Come From?

My Allah (God) be pleased with Andre Harrell. I just wanted to share with you all where the ideal/image of my look as D - Holmez came from.

Years ago, before, I got into rapping. I wanted to be a singer and start a singing group similar to New Edition.

When I seriously go into rapping by then I became conscious (I joined the Nation of Islam).

Originally, I wanted to wear a suit and bowtie and fully represent the Nation of Islam. But some Brothers, (FOI) suggested, I keep it under cover and allow people to find out through my music.

I remembered, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde from the movie Krush Groove and L. L. Cool J who is one of my all-time favorite rappers. So, I took their images.

The suit and the hat to make people think, I was going to sing then spit some conscious rap.

This is where the image of D - Holmez came from. Plus it meant, I am a business man that came to do business!! :-)
