Coast 2 Coast SXSW Industry Mixer 1ST Place Artist Houston's own Damien Duckworth better known as Duck is an up and coming rapper and lyricist hailing from South Park. His focus is delivering high quality music that hip-hop and rap enthusiasts can relate to and enjoy. If Ducks sound comes off as hustler music, that is because it is. Even encrypted in his club bangers are anecdotes about handling money wisely, having ambition and obtaining the American dream by attacking it from unexpected angles. Ducks first mix tape entitled Unstable Mind Frame is set to be released soon and it is not following the preset rules about how mix tapes should be crafted. It is being designed on the backbone of a unique sound that is both acoustically appealing and honest. As an artist who has been influenced by many underground hard hitters, Duck will walk away from a project prior to dropping it without the best possible sound quality and content. Although Unstable Mind Frame is his first released project this is not an amateur mix tape. Duck is only working with credited professionals on this project to ensure it is reaching its full capabilities. Most of the music, including the first released song titled Weekend Money, have been mastered by native Houston platinum producer Davion Botts (DBottz). DBottz has worked with big name artist such as UGK, Z-Ro, Scarface and Slim Thug. This seasoned touch gives Ducks sound the advantage of having that professional quality even though he is new to the rap scene. Duck is also working with a top notch team for the creation of the music video for Other Side and having beats provided by award winning producers like Johnny Juliano. Duck is on his way to becoming a real contender in the rap game so keep your eyes out and ears out for the Unstable Mind Frame mix tape.
