Dominique Singletary, better known as Kid Glory, can identify
immensely with this quote. The Dyckman native grew up in an
environment where drug dealing was a glorified occupation. He turned
to basketball courts for salvation from the gritty Uptown streets and
quickly became a star. His A-1 skills, good grades, and strong
character led to an array of basketball scholarship offers from many
prestigious colleges. Shortly after he graduated high school
Dominique became the proud father of a beautiful baby girl. The
reality of fatherhood put his NBA dreams on hold. The street life he
fought so strongly to escape became his sole means of financial
support. His quick witted intelligence mixed with hustler’s ambition
made the street life easy to conquer. But a desire to escape the
perils of his dishonest living led him down a new path. Though
basketball was his first love, a passion for music and writing also
played huge part in his life. Listening to local rappers in ciphers
and hip hop icons like Jay Z on the radio fascinated him. He used
rhymes as a therapeutic outlet to release his emotions. Like
basketball, music became his new salvation from the streets. Striving
for a better tomorrow, the lifestyle of fast money, cars, and drug
dealing became a thing of the past. The young man who lost himself to
the streets found a new outlook on life. Dominique resurrected himself
as Kid Glory. He explains the moniker by saying: “The name is
befitting. I always said if you’re gonna apply yourself, you should be
glorious at it.” Kid Glory’s ambition and unwillingness to succumb to
adversity are evident on his first project, “Failure Not An Option.”
Highly motivated to progress and strive for success, his music conveys
a positive message. His next project “Uptown State of Mind,” pays
homage to the streets that raised him. Never forgetting his roots and
life lessons, Kid Glory tells his tales of survival and triumph.
“Music allowed me to change my life. It’s the only thing I was loyal
to and never gave up on when the walls were closing in on me.” Whether
it is basketball, fatherhood, or music, Dominique (aka Kid Glory) has
proven that failure is not option.
