Duluth hip-hop artist Andre Robinson is known for his infectious beats and clever rhymes as Dre aka Jamaican. His father, the late Paul Robinson of Prince Paul and the Conscious Party, taught him a lot about stage presence. When Dre’s hip-hop collective, Battlezone, ended its run, he found himself with a dance floor full of beats and a microphone that just wouldn’t stop producing rhymes. His debut solo album, Nerd Riot, was released a month prior to last year’s Homegrown.
