A Dog aka Annikhan Started off in Milwaukee petty hustlin, never really hung with the young dumb dumbs even though I was one... never really took music as a life long journey thing (even though I was drawn to it) and was introduced to 88keys, I heard a beat for the first time and my whole head filled with words, I couldn’t fight this feeling. It was like something was being drawn out of me.... I left out and sat in the car and wrote my first poem slash rap lol. The next day I read it to my old heads and they quoted bars that I said and said I had a Nas flow :0...this was my first rap...I knew what my calling was and saw the outcome in some kind of daydream NO BS. I've grown into my style and continue to show growth. When people see the stage name A Dog aka Annikhan bka Your Excellency the first thing that is asked is what does it mean. A is the nickname and A Dog is really saying Im a dog, in other words mans best friend, loyalty, protector, that person who will be by your side at all times out in this cold world. Annikhan is the other half of me taken from the movie Star wars (but spelled differently) going with the story line of having good intentions to save through this dream but ultimately having to choose whats right and wrong through my eyes. Your Excellency is these two entities as one, when coming into power you must be even tempered and just....these two balance out. The goal for me as an artist is to become successful and profitable for one reason and one reason only......to reach the masses and change the tide to create balance in an industry that has become more negative than positive. Money is part of the motive because it has to be in order to pursue my passion full time. You will rarely hear profanity, you will never hear the talk of drug use or the slandering of women in my songs not just because I think its wrong but to set an example to the people who are most important.... the innocent/children! Im not here to judge because we are only human and will make mistakes but the biggest part of the message I give is striving to free yourself from the vices that grip you in life..... ~If I Had One Lane Consider It The Runway...Take Flight~ After our interview with A Dog aka Annikhan we’ll be up to all of our usual fun including our DrinksWinesSpirits.com sponsored “Brewskis” Beer Tasting segment, sports talk, rants, and more.
