Unlike other artists who may base their lyrics on what they have heard others rap about, or what they think may appeal to their audience, D. Jackson writes about his life. The real struggles and strife he has gone through to get where he is today. Recently he participated in a showcase for artists, where he was asked to come back and perform two of his songs.
