Meet DatBoiReek | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with DatBoiReek and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi DatBoiReek, what are you inspired by?
I’m in inspired by the dedication and motivation of my cousin J. Arrr and late brother KJ Kwiet Storm.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart from others is that I’m not afraid to step out my comfort zone and do other things. I’m excited about how things turned out for me, hearing people rapping and singing the lyrics to my songs bring so much joy and happiness. Hard work, dedication and motivation got me to where I am today, everything I do is for my late brother KJ Kwiet Storm. He pushed so hard with his craft and I followed pursuit to continue the legacy he left behind and to make sure I didn’t fall off because he would always make sure I’m doing what I’m supposed to do and checking in on how I’m doing with my craft. It wasn’t easy to get here it’s a lot of setbacks from depression, anxiety, stress but I had to learn how to somewhat cope with it. I just put what I felt in my songs, and changed my surroundings and stayed around positivity. I’ve learned to never doubt myself. I am more than just an artist I am a entertainer, love to make people smile, laugh and dance. All I want the world to do is to be peaceful with love and have fun.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If we’re in Fayetteville for the first few days we’re hitting Stop Button which is a big gaming arcade with a bar, The mall, Kickback Jacks, Allure which is a dope hookah lounge it be lit it’s really a club vibe but real chill and lit, next day hit Halo which is a night club. The last couple days slide to Raleigh and hit StarBar, box car and other dope spots. Definitely gotta hit the country in Wilson and have a cookout with my uncle Byrd he be throwing down on that grill frfr lol. Everything I just named is where I have the most fun at. Oh and night bowling. A good link up with my Family and frat brothers make things 100x’s better.
