Derrick "D.S. Artistry" Small is a songwriter and composer whose musical style is primarily routed in the combination of Hip-Hop, Inspirational and World Music. He refers to this style as Spiritual Hip-Hop. He served 8-years as a United States Marine where his primary duties were based in the art of media. Although, DS has been writing since his early school years , he did not truly begin pursuing his passions until 2003. His ability to put words together has always been inventive and inspiring. Creating songs such as "Momma Said" and "Knock Me Down" DS is able to give a different spin on the common urban outlook often portrayed in today's media. His music blends elements of poetry, urban culture, spirituality and life experience to create what he believes can be a melodic call to action for one to follow their dreams or at the least remember events of the past.

Thanks so much for the input on the live fast, die young track - great insight that I'd never thought of before regarding marketability. Very much appreciated!
