D. Lo’s “No Hoe” instantly caught fire throughout the Bay Area as soon as it hit the streets back in April of last year and quickly blazed its way across the country. Receiving an incredible amount of airplay, “No Hoe” swiftly became the latest Bay to LA anthem. Within weeks D-Lo was on everyone’s radar, sparking remixes by hip-hop legends Too $hort and E-40 – not bad for a new and still relatively unknown artist. Back with version 3.0, the latest remix features hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg who drops in a new verse and straight-up takes over the hook. Mixing hyphy with gangsta, minimal melody, heavy handclaps, and West coast swagga, this version will have you second guessing which one to be bumpin’ out of your speakers next time you’re rolling down the street.

The Background:
Two years ago, brothers D-Lo and Sleepy D were making music in the basement of their mother’s Modesto, CA home. After much time spent honing their craft towards the Bay Area scene they were surrounded by, D-Lo completed “No Hoe,” a to-be mega-hit. With MySpace as his main form of distribution, D-Lo got the word out on his hyphy concoction. After being picked up by a small independent label called PTB (Pushing the Beat), D-Lo finally got “No Hoe” released as a single. Two weeks later, he was imprisoned. But not having D-Lo on the streets didn’t slow the spread of his single, as “No Hoe” took Bay Area radio by storm. The track blew up and is arguably the new anthem of the Bay Area scene. D-Lo’s “No Hoe” has since been released on a Clear Label Records compilation produced by DJ Fresh and The Whole Shabang entitled The Tonite Show with D-Lo.
