Chicago, Illinois born and raised Earl “Duke” Williams Jr, has been in the lab working on his eagerly anticipated mixtape "Growing Pains" due for release sometime in December 13 2011. Duke, who follows a Chicago-hustle work ethic of never giving up on your dreams, has already seen the benefits of this mind-set pay off. This hip-hop mixtape takes the listener on any rap lover’s fantasy of a voluptuous variety of subject matter, a healthy dose of catchy punch lines, lucrative lyrics, and production that doesn’t shy away from an assortment of instruments, reminding us all of what we love from our rap records. Duke’s gritty flow touches on subject matters from, relationships, to achieving your dreams, and a matter that is close to his heart, juggling both one’s studies and making it in the music industry. Often labeling himself as Refreshingly Confused (the title of his debut mixtape), Duke takes studying towards medical school and continuously putting out new material, in his stride, showing his admirers what it truly means to have the best of both worlds. “You might as well and you can call me, Mr. Refreshingly Confused; I’m some of everything. It’s difficult, but it’s not impossible you can do anything you put your mind to” Duke, a strong believer in networking and making new connections, has already started to build his profile in Chicago, by working with fellow Chi-town artists; with many collaborations featuring D2G of Straight Up Hustling/Make-A-Move and C. Rich from the Fly City Crew. For further and more current information, please contact Duke at IAmChicagoDuke@gmail.com.
