Hip-hop artist Self, who also goes by his alter ego of Eddie Whispers, brought D.C. rap back to the forefront come the new millennium. A denizen of the streets, Self isn't afraid to touch upon the neighborhood darkness he experienced as a young teen. Born to a preacher mother, he was already dabbling in drugs and getting in trouble in his native South D.C. district. His love for hip-hop brought him out of self-destruction, in particular rappers such as Kool Moe Dee and Rakim. Self made his debut on DJ S&S's 1999 rap mix Harlem World Order, and shortly thereafter, he had a deal with Lethal Records.
