    Artist History
    "What we know about Frogg Dogg" in 1983, after unsucessful break dance career Derrick Rosson stood up and grabbed the mike. He came into the rap game with the unforgettable name"M.C. Frogger Down" ; he felt that written rap was wack therefore he never wrote a rhyme. He began his attack on rappers in the city of detroit and began looking to dominate the world. In 1985, MC Frogger Down became MC Frogger D. Then in 1988 he dropped "MC" and became "Frogger D." In the early 90's Frogger D became Frogg and by this time he remained the undisputed free-style rap king of Detroit & to this day people still tell stories of his impact on the hip-hop community which he helped establish. The first 12-inch single was titled "Crack Attack" in 1985. Next came the rap album "Trixxx of the trade" on the Westbound record label.Trixx of the trade shed new light on pornographic hip-hop w/ just behind the scence co-writing the songs. Several rap battles later while Frogg kicked some lyrics at small studios he met George Clinton.George digged Frogg Dogg and took him on tour with George Clinton and The Parliment Funkadelic the P-Funk all-stars and the P-funk horns with Sir Nose. He appeared on the Dope Dog and on the T.A.P.O.F.O.M albums. Blessed to be one pf the few Mc's on wax with P-Funk & bootsie Collins. While touring with George C. Frogg appeared on such major labels as Sony,550-music,and Pasley Park. This was the experience that influenced his first solo album "Froggadelic" which happens to be one grpund-breaking albums of the time period,because it was recorded with live instrumentation. His band "Black Planet" provided the heavy beats, bass and guitar that made Froggadellic a truly original style. Alley-life who is now signed to Farm Club rounded-out the squad. Alley-Life and Frogg flowed over the tracks that sent "Froggadelic on tour with Kid Rock & Rap Dog Records in 1997. Eminem said that it might be cool if Frogg appeared on one of his cuts("just Don't Give A fuck")so he was invited to the studio and now appears on the multi-platinum "Slim Shady LP". Now he is supported by the Sliver Wear Jeans Clothing Company. With a voice and a name that carries him he continues to deliver the funkiestmost hip-hoest rap styled on the planet. introducing "FROGG DOGG"
