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

Hi Dope, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
I’m not even gonna lie I wanna be the greatest, in the conversation. I always have high aspirations and aim for the stars to be honest. Just how I was raised! Even with the certain individuals I look up to from my mother, to my uncle and grandmother, and my grandfather. They all laid out a certain foundation of faith and belief in self, but also hard work and being consistent in your grind.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s been a long journey for sure. Just my upbringing and how I was raised has a strong factor in what sets me apart from others. Like I said my mom use to sing when I was young like around seven years old, so she use to make us sing songs, do little vocal exercises I guess. So I can say music has always been an interest of mine, especially the more of it I got involved with. My mom had me, my older sister Timaya, and my younger sister Tiani make a song, and from there my love bloomed. From there, I’ve made so many songs, freestyled to so many beats, and performed at ton of shows.. yet I still feel like there’s so much more to explore. I’m only 21!! So I guess what I want people to know about my brand and also myself.. is that this has been a long time in the works, I’ve been prepping and working and really trying my hardest to make the best pieces of art my heart let’s me. We just getting started though, we on the way!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I stay in the Huntsville, Alabama area and have been for most of my life after moving away from my hometown of Long Island, NY. Huntsville is called the Rocket City, so of course the first day we gotta hit the NASA SPACE AND ROCKET CENTER in Huntsville, show them around the rockets, and the rides. Tuesday we could hit Bridge Street, an outside mall also located in Huntsville, go explore while shopping. Wednesday we could go to Agave and Rye, get lit get some shots up. Thursday, we could go to the mountains, Mount Sano, take a hike and see the nature cause that’s something I like to do and something Alabama is good for. Nature, wildlife. Pretty surroundings. Then I’d have to take them on Friday to BLESSINGS, the best wing spot in town, the weekend we could have some fun, probably go to the new Main EVENT joint they just built, with a bunch of games, and activities to do

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would definitely like to shoutout my mom, Crystal Bunnet! I’m not gonna lie I’ve seen her accomplish so much from a young age. She had 3 of us before 21, and managed to get a bachelors, go from recording music, to a Zumba fitness instructor, to owning a fitness and boxing gym, and still being a mom to my five younger siblings. She’s the hardest worker I know, so I see where I get my grit and grind from.
