While his true genius may ever be obscured in a haze of smoke, Devin the Dude is the highwayman of hip-hop blissfully living outside of the bling universe; he's a rap rebel and outlaw by being neither rebel nor outlaw. Like another famous dude, Devin merely abides. A storytelling rapper in the vein of Slick Rick, the witty, self-deprecating Houston MC emerged in the early-1990s, delighting in his own mellow rhymes about faithful cars and faithless women. While he swiftly built a reputation among his peers, and guested on hits by Snoop Dogg, De La Soul, and others, his releases were few and far between; however, he hit a groove in the late-`00s as a wider swath of hip-hop fans began to whiff of his talent.
