Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. D-187 got his name from the temperature that melts pure cocaine metaphorically meaning super hot. D-187 took interest in music when he heard NWA, Spice 1, and later on 2Pac, Brotha Lynch Hung, and Dr. Dre. D-187 taught himself MUSIC inside out from years and years of hands on experience. Trying to put his criminal past behind him, he's putting his hunger for success into his music.
