The Madd Rapper was the alias of Brooklyn-born MC/producer <a href="spotify:artist:5JeoERtnWfUwGO6taWIwGB">Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie</a>, who first rose to prominence as one half of the conscious rap duo 2 Kings in a Cipher, which scored an underground hit with "For the Brothers Who Ain't Here." From there, <a href="spotify:artist:5JeoERtnWfUwGO6taWIwGB">Angelettie</a> went to work as intern with Bad Boy Entertainment, where over time he rose to the position of A&R Director before Sean "Puffy" Combs tapped him as a staff producer; credited as <a href="spotify:artist:5JeoERtnWfUwGO6taWIwGB">D-Dot</a>, he helmed the hit singles "Been Around the World" and "All About the Benjamins," additionally serving as executive producer on projects from <a href="spotify:artist:1wiBLzTI7z9RUwEpNPdFT6">Mase</a> (Harlem World), <a href="spotify:artist:0A7g2YbCA9FlyZvAG6VmKP">the LOX</a> (Money, Power & Respect), <a href="spotify:artist:5NDMothbpdpq2xHqSjrrWn">Faith Evans</a> (Keep the Faith), and <a href="spotify:artist:1QPZhx0asYTBxD5RDqfU49">Black Rob</a> (Life Story). <a href="spotify:artist:5JeoERtnWfUwGO6taWIwGB">Angelettie</a> invented the Madd Rapper persona as a satiric skit character for the <a href="spotify:artist:5me0Irg2ANcsgc93uaYrpb">Notorious B.I.G</a>'s Life After Death album, but it proved so popular with listeners that a solo album was announced; originally the Madd Rapper's identity was a closely guarded secret, but in November of 1998 <a href="spotify:artist:5JeoERtnWfUwGO6taWIwGB">Angelettie</a> made headlines for an alleged attack on then-Blaze editor-in-chief Jesse Washington after the magazine published photos disclosing the character's true name. The 1999 single "D-Dot vs. the Madd Rapper" preceded the release of the full-length Tell 'Em Why U Madd. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
