Dough Boy Da Boss
When passion meets purpose, magic happens. CEO Doughboy (aka Doughboy the Boss) brings us inside his world of music, family, and entrepreneurship with raw honesty and wisdom earned through years of independent grinding.
What happens when you surprise your audience with new music? Doughboy walks us through the unexpected drop of his "Six-Piece Spicy" EP – a project that came together through his deep creative chemistry with producer DJ Tay and engineer KD Yonkaki. The trio's unspoken understanding creates a space where beats guide the creation process rather than forcing it: "The beat talks," Doughboy explains, "it's going to tell you what to do or what to say."
But the heart of our conversation reveals something even more powerful – how Doughboy has transformed his musical journey into family business. His daughters, operating as "The Mayberry Mob," are naturally following his footsteps without pressure. "I'm able to live out my dreams through my kids and have fun with it," he shares, illuminating how the artistic torch passes between generations when creativity runs in the bloodline.
As the founder of BCE (Boss City Entertainment), Doughboy's vision extends beyond personal success. He's building a world and inviting others in – all while maintaining complete independence and betting on himself when others wouldn't. "You betting on yourself, like you the house," he reminds fellow entrepreneurs.
For anyone balancing creative pursuits with parenting, career ambitions with family priorities, or trying to build something authentic in a world of shortcuts, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and soulful inspiration. Stream "Money Run" from the Six-Piece Spicy EP now, and stay tuned – the full album is on the horizon.

Speaker 3:I only dunk that shit Cause I look like Mr Clean. I was a boss, so it's like I had to. You know it was just all switching. You know with a mopping glow and you know with the bald head.

Speaker 2:Hey, the right way, man, for real. We was talking about this on the last podcast. Man, the kids are the future, for real, man, ain't they? Yeah, we send that example for them. You know what I mean, Even as we're here right now, you know, amongst brothers, amongst family, you know what I mean. Like, that's what we got to do. You know, we got to keep pushing each other to do better because we know that we're all capable of more. So it's like when we get together and we, you know we have this, we envision this and we manifest this shit. And and that's how you do that shit for real.
Speaker 2:Like yo, like, like you know, just keep, just keep that shit going. Like I'll be seeing the shit that y'all be doing, like the visuals that y'all be popping off and everything, and and yo, like, like y'all really creating like your own, your own lane for this shit. Like you, you got fans. I see you be out there. Uh, I think I've seen what was it like near regular or some shit. Like I know you went out there and you was out there, you know, talking with the people getting the cd off and shit. You know you, like you found some fans and stuff like that Talk about that. You know what was that like for you, like just getting out there and like really just like connecting with the people.
Speaker 3:And to also correct you too. I know you probably said Wrigley, you maybe caught somebody else, a man, maybe one of my, maybe Elo, yeah, yeah, yeah, Shout out, elo. You know what I'm saying. He'd definitely be out there moving units, but definitely as far as Wild Touch and talking to the people and just as far as being out there.
Speaker 3:It's nothing like that because of the way they make you feel. You know what I'm saying. It's just different. They give you the confirmation, any answers that you're looking for. They're able to make you feel how artists want to feel about their music. If your music is that, you know what I'm saying. If I pass the message to anything that they love, oh, don't wait, oh, and then it's just the fact that they so excited to see me in person, as if how I would fan to somebody else, so the feeling of just uplifting me, man, it ain't nothing like that. Who don't want to be perceived like that? So it's a good feeling to know that music done, touched and done made feelings or made someone feel a way, or just to know I touched to reach somebody. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:And that's special, man. And I got a quick story too, man, while we on the topic of this, right, because I had an experience with Doe, you know what I mean I was able to have a unique experience with Ankh man. We, not too long ago, man, we was down in Nashville, you know, on the ground, moving units. Yeah, definitely was Shout out to Nashville. Yeah, shout out to Nashville. Man, shout out to the whole state of Tennessee, man, we'll be back. Yeah, we will be coming back. We will be coming back. Run it back, man. You know what I mean. We will be coming. Yeah, run it back, man, run it back you. You feel me, what we doing.
Speaker 1:But I had the opportunity to get down there and move some units with them, right, and when I tell you what was so dope about this experience and this connection is seeing strangers become excited A about hip-hop, right, but also just about connecting with new talent, connecting with new music. You know what I mean about connecting with new talent, connecting with new music. You know what I mean. Like, I was under the understanding that Nashville was more of a, like country town. You know what I mean. When I think of Nashville, I immediately think of Jelly Roll, I think of Johnny Cash, I think of Luke Bryan, I think all these different guys you know. So what was dope was being down there and seeing a. Seeing that these country stars have these rooftop bars right, that's one thing. But also seeing how you we were out there moving, moving units, but you also seen some other acts down there moving units and performing as well.
Speaker 1:But that experience led me to asking about this one. Right, because Doe has been working on something that I really want him to talk about. Man, let's talk about. Lay In, because they had this experience before I ever had. You know they was out there in Vegas moving units. You know what I mean. He had his. Tell the world who Le'Elan are and tell us about what working with them has been like over this journey. Talk to us, man.
Speaker 3:Let us know we are right in Well to to bring them to the table. Malay, and malay and malan, those are both my daughters and they are called the mayberry mob, which is our last name. So, um, uh, pretty much, um, just showing the girls that you know that they can really do anything that they want to do, you know, and the fact that my girls are so tapped into their own, they're so tapped into their own music as well as mine, is really how they got, as well as how they got tapped into the music. So I've just seen the way they reacted to my music and really to other music as well. But to show them that they can react to their own music, so they really going crazy, but just something just tapping into, just showing them that they can do it, because I see they my biggest supporters and you know I see what songs they take to and just see how they take to the music.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. So it's a great feeling. I'm able to live out my dreams through my kids and have fun with it, like you know, really, really have fun, fun with it, like you know, really really have fun, like you know, to do something that you're happy and you're so driven to do it's like, it's like that's everything, you know, it's like a bodybuilder living in, a living in a gym. You know like, ah, like you know they, they doing what they, they they're at what they love. You know, I'm saying like that, like that's what they a body bit of love, living and getting big. And you know it's man, just it's a good feeling, you know, to really do so, but really just showed them the wave and just tapping it too. So we really trying to roll them out they.
Speaker 3:We had worked on a first track called Mayberry Mob and it and it's also out. It's on YouTube. You can check it out. Lay in line. Carl Mayberry Mob is on the. What's that? Ceo of BCE. It's on my page. You can go subscribe, check that out, check that out.
Speaker 3:Check that out, doughboy the Boss. They're YouTube and definitely type that in. Hit that search bar.
Speaker 2:So how long have your daughters been doing music? How long have they been into the whole recording thing? When did that start?
Speaker 3:I can say maybe what? Like a year ago, I want to say they dropped their first track. What was that? I think a year ago, I think. Well, actually they recorded. It's just been in the bank, you know what I'm saying. It's been in the vault, really Right.
Speaker 2:Just trying to roll them out. Yeah, just trying to roll them out.
Speaker 3:But yeah, I think it's been about a year, almost two, but yeah, they definitely got their feet wet.
Speaker 2:Listen to you speak about this too. It reminds me of something that Jay always talks about that family business Standing on yeah, like just standing on family business, bro, and like creating those memories, like you were saying, like just like that whole legacy of what that is yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3:That's why it's so beautiful and the fact that they my daughter, they not just anybody, they my daughters. You know what I'm saying? This is why I eat sleep. You know what I'm saying. This is why I eat sleep. Shh, you know what I'm saying? They under my house, so they came from me, they're a part of me. So to look back and not look back, step back and to look at them is beautiful and it's really just everything.
Speaker 2:How does it make you feel to be able to step?
Speaker 3:back and see that in the moment and just be able to enjoy that. That's a beautiful thing, man, to see that they even enjoy doing it. It's not something that's forced upon. I definitely didn't force the music upon them. It's really self. It run through their bloodline.
Speaker 2:Apple, don't fall too far from the tree is what they say. That's good man. But yeah, man, as far as music goes, what is this that Jay had mentioned that you were working on? Can you elaborate a little bit more on?
Speaker 3:that Actually, they got a. Well, I was speaking on Mayberry Marge. That was their first track. I actually got a chance to get them back to the studio and work on something that I was putting together for them, so they got another track in the vault. That is, you know, it's time to roll out, and he got a sneak peek of that. You know, it was like, you know, a little wild man. Look y'all.
Speaker 1:Hey, hey, y'all look, as a DJ, I play a lot of music for a lot of different crowds, a lot of different age groups. Who is it when I tell you they got one, they got one I'm talking about. They got one, they got one. That's going to. You know what I mean and it's exciting to see that for them. But they not only got one. We not only about to get some new music from the babies, but we recently just got some new music from the Papa Bell. You dig what I'm saying? We recently just got that six-piece Spicy. Oh yeah, man man, talk to us about that six-piece spicy man. How did this project come about? What does it mean to you? Tell us more, you know, really, dive in with us on this man.
Speaker 3:That six-piece spicy man.
Speaker 1:And even just the terminology right I?
Speaker 3:think I just ate a six-piece.
Speaker 1:We just ate a shark. Hey man, shout out to sharks. Shout out to sharks fish and chicken. You know what I'm saying? They hit us off with the. You know what I'm saying? The chicken wings fried hard with the lemon pepper.
Speaker 3:For a boast, for a boast, nah, but hey, man, that six-piece man, it's just really just appetizing man, appetizing music, like you know, they're just sitting back and wanting to just. You know, nobody ordered it, you know, we just dropped it on the table. You know, shout out A-Tay man. That's my producer, dj Tay man. It really the idea really came from him. You know, we just sitting back and we waiting, just preparing and preparing music, just preparing to put it out right, just out of nowhere, the idea just sparked to just drop a bomb on them. You know what I'm saying Don't warn them, don't say anything, no promo, let's just just something for the fans. Let's just drop an appetizer on them, let's just feed them.
Speaker 1:And can I jump in real quick on this? Because when I tell y'all this shit was really a surprise, like a left hook, like out the RKO out of nowhere, because check it out right, one day I'm at the hideaway, shout out to the W Hideaway Lounge. Shout out Keeba. Shout out Taylor. Shout out Parrish, you know the whole team.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying DJ 8-Ball, dj Kevin Burns, dj Surprise, you know the whole W Hideaway family man, we there but we was up there at the Hideaway, you know and he just shows me this cover art and I'm standing back like yo, this shit dope like. I'm like like man that's. That's hard but what I wasn't expecting. The next night I'm just casually on itunes I forgot why I was on there specifically, but I believe I was updating the playlist. You know what I mean. I was updating troubles world playlist, you know, and I just casually seen like dope boy the boss Boss dropping at midnight and I'm like this motherfucker, you know what I'm saying. And it made me. It made me, it made me smile, man, because it was dope to see you step into the arena. Like, for those that don't know, we've worked on those first two projects together. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:So the fans weren't the only people that were surprised. I was also surprised too, but what I loved about it was that I also love that, like I love when I see an artist, just like, let me sneak this out. You know what I'm saying. So it was a beautiful moment. Can you dive into what the creative process and curation process was like with you and DJ Tay, because I know y'all probably had to work a little bit closer to iron it out. You know what I mean Talk to the people and explain what that process was like. You know being able to sit with the mastermind himself.
Speaker 3:Well, really I can say it really went like a one, two, three, Like our relationship. Man is beautiful, you know, our relationship man is beautiful, you know, I just I love to get a text from my brother, you know, because I, especially when the audio file attached to it. You know, you know it's one of them.
Speaker 3:hey Tay, you know it's time to come through. So really, man, it's really been our process since the beginning, Like it's not a beat of taste that I don't do, it's maybe a couple that slip at me. Anything that tastes in me I record. I just go record, I make a hook and I go record.
Speaker 2:His beats, just like they pull that out of you, like every time.
Speaker 3:So I mean it's going to pull the beat, always going to pull out of you, whatever it's going to pull out of you, like every time. So I mean it's going to pull the beat, always going to pull out of you, whatever it's going to pull out of you, you know it's always going to tell you what to do or what to say or what direction. You know. Whether the artist know it or not, the beat talks. It's going to tell you know. So. Well, at least to me, when I listen, when I press play and I cut on, and you know I need a sense of direction, or you know, I know where I'm going, or I know where I want to go, at least you know. So it's just really about getting the subject.
Speaker 3:Once I get a subject and I write me a hook, when I write my hook, I just go to the studio and record. You know I don't, because his beats are I'm not going to say not to be written to, but they're so unorthodox. They go here, they go there, they go. You know I mean y'all here it's ups downs, it's here, it's there, so it's like I just go where that motherfucker take me and I go for that ride. So it's like I can't put my verses and words or even to write them down because I don't know what I'm going to say or how I'm going to say it. So, like I say, my process is basically you know him sending and I sit there. Once I write, you know I get my one-two in, I sit down and write and jot and you know, once I get my hook and my subject, it's time to go to the studio. It's time to go to Musical Genius Shout out. Musical Genius KD Yonkaki.
Speaker 2:Shout out.
Speaker 3:Musical Genius. That's where I record at. That's where really the hits get made. At Once I get that subject, it's like I'm gone.
Speaker 2:That's kind of the feeling that I get when I listen to a lot of your music. It makes me want to move, it kind of just flows. That also reminds me of me and Jay another time when we recorded. A lot of the time you might hear a beat and, like you said, it pulls something out of you and then, once that whole process has started, it's almost like you're turning on the faucet and that shit just flows. Rob Markman yeah, because it's going to take you there.
Speaker 3:You hear a track, ain't no way? You're going to hear a fucking R&B track and you're going to be on there talking about killing a motherfucker, or this and that. I mean, a motherfucker could possibly do it.
Speaker 2:Unless they're trying to troll, Like they be all like yeah, like some mean shit, or whatever. It's just not likely.
Speaker 3:I mean you hear a beat and you just kind of you go with the flow. Nah, you know you hit that no, no, once you get your melody or how you want to do it. It's just about filling in the blanks and the words. Filling in them, words, right, right, right. So it's just all a feeling it's diving in Sometimes motherfuckers just dive in for the beat drop.
Speaker 2:I mean, one thing that you would agree with this is when you're doing that process is it important to just kind of just have fun and not really overthink shit Like like that is so true.
Speaker 3:It's so true to especially with that process, like I definitely have to let go. You know you want to let go, so that you know it can just sort of just sort of roll, you don't want to overthink. That makes it sort of difficult and it's easier said than done because I do it all the time Same and with that being said, we know that these last three projects have all been recorded in-house at Musical Genius Recordings.
Speaker 1:Can you talk to us and explain to the people how important Katie Yonkaki is to your recording process?
Speaker 3:Oh man, I ain't going to say I can't do it without him, but shit, I can't do it without him, but shit, I can't do it without them. I mean, I didn't get so comfortable in it. It's just what you're used to. It's the aura, it's just home, it's just been made a home. That's really all I can say. It's sort of been just trademark. It's like you know, like uh, I mean as far as the sound and and even just being around, because you got to think kd, you know is coming from a point, he's, I mean, even when I even thought about that. I, kd yonkaki is a man of many talents and first off, my just first thing, just me doing that he's an artist. So, first off, he know how I want my shit to sound, he know how he. I mean he just know like he gets shit that certain. You know, I don't have to explain, we don't have to. You know what.
Speaker 1:I'm saying yeah, and that's huge, because a lot of artists um, it's a lot of ego in anything right, but some artists kind of are selfish with creative ideas or selfish with their creative process. You know what I mean. So for him to be able to probably share some ideas or even step, step out of his world and be selfless and be willing enough to step into your world and a space to say I'm going to bring my creativity into your world, into your head, I can only imagine that that probably only helps the process in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3:I mean it can't do nothing. Uh-oh, excuse me, that's that good flower right there, boy.
Speaker 1:That's that, yeah man. That's that, yeah man.
Speaker 3:Nah, like I say, just that standpoint just coming from being an artist, just that standpoint just coming from being an artist, I mean to have that relationship already and it's just so smooth. I mean it just goes together. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:There's. Would you say that there was chemistry since the first time y'all met? That's what I mean.
Speaker 3:I mean it's just undeniable. I mean, even when you hear a track with me featuring him or him featuring me with us on it, I mean it's even you know. But I mean the chemistry, that's definitely what you need and what you have to look for and that's what I mean. What made it so home. You know what I'm saying? The fact that he's not just my engineer, he's my brother, so he's the person I talk to on a daily basis. You know every day. You know. So it's, it's just, it's a different relationship, and even to go there is, like I said, it's just even stronger, is just all for all in. You know. So, yeah, man, family business, yeah, hey, standing on it, man, and that's just what you look for and that's what you would want. You know what I'm saying. Per se, I would say, you know, as far as me being an artist and recording somewhere, if I'm that damn comfortable, and especially with the engineer, you know this shit is home. That's what I stick with, that's what I go with, right.
Speaker 2:That reminds me, too of. I was watching this interview on YouTube for Chris Brown's engineer, Tizio, and it's like he had mentioned something as far as being the engineer of him making it. So it's like just one experience that just flows, and the artist has no idea that all this shit is happening in the background. He could be chopping your vocal, you could be doing another take or whatever, but everything is supposed to flow as if it's like one and that kind of, as you were talking about your relationship with kd, it kind of. It kind of gave me like that similar feeling of like just the chemistry, just the flow, and it's just like it just goes. You don't even, you don't have to force nothing and that's what's so beautiful about it.
Speaker 3:That's what I mean. When someone get it, I don't have to go through what I feel other artists go through with telling him I literally I don't tell him to do shit. I'm not going to lie, I don't. You know what? I tell him Do your thing. And that's if he acts Because, like I mean, he's an artist, he's my brother, he know me Right, and I mean he gets it. Once again, he gets it. So it's not like I tell him hey, take this back, unless it's something that I particular or let me put this in there I don't tell him do your thing.
Speaker 2:Because I feel like he's got an ear. Like a lot of engineers and producers that I met. It's like don't have an ear for certain shit, or it's just I don't know like they just be really locked in, like really focused, like you'll be trying to figure exactly. Like they just get it, like that's the best way to say it honestly they just be getting the shit, motherfucker, tell a motherfucker to do this.
Speaker 3:Hey run this back, hey put this right there. Hey cut this down right there. You know, all right shit. He asked me he had been to did some shit. Like the fuck, like he just man.
Speaker 2:How he be doing some of this shit Bro.
Speaker 3:I don't, and y'all hear these tracks. He does the craziest shit. Craziest shit, I mean voices, voiceovers, like the craziest shit, the wildest shit that you wouldn't even think about, like he just does. And I don't tell him to do the shit, the mixes and the bounces Nah, that's a fact, ah, ah. I don't tell him to do that shit.
Speaker 1:A lot of time, too, he do them himself. That's the thing too Like, because you know you got some people that'll get online and find the effects musical genes on this one. He would literally get on. He would get behind the mic and do a do it himself. You know, uh, he knows his voice exactly exactly, but and he know his talent, look. So let's speak on knowing talent. Right, you have been an independent recording artist for some time, right For sure, talk to us about the pros and cons of being an independent recording artist.
Speaker 3:Pros and cons. Well, to definitely start off the pros and cons with funding, you just have to jump straight to funding, because everyone I mean you got to fund You're going to need funds to go record or to go do anything to start. So this is all out of pocket. This is out of your pocket, or who pocket out of your pocket how far you want to go with it. That's how far you go, how much. However far you want to go is how much you're going to put in. So that means it's not a number measure, because there is no number. You know what I'm saying. You'll never be done.
Speaker 3:Spending Decisions, decisions and what to do this, to do this first, or how to do man Decisions, decisions and what to do this, to do this first, or how to do man. A lot of it, would you say, is like a learning process. No, it definitely is. It's a learning and teaching process all in one. You're going to learn, you're going to teach yourself so many things and you're going to learn so many things and you're never going to be finished learning things and you're never going to be finished learning, or you're never going to be finished teaching. You know I'm saying it's an ongoing thing. We learn something new every day, whether we know it or not.
Speaker 2:Facts would you say? What would you say?
Speaker 3:the importance is of betting on yourself in this situation man, it's, it's the most, or you really have to believe in yourself. You know I'm saying Because you betting on yourself, like you, the house. You know what I'm saying. So it's like it's really how much you believe in yourself and how much you're going to put in yourself. You know Like, yeah, man, there's a debt in it, because it's like I said, this shit is as far as you want to take it. You know what I'm saying Because there's so much to do and there's so many ways, so it's how you want to do it.

That's on my left forearm, it's basically my hood. You know what I felt. I was, as far as you know, standing for the evolving and really the stature that I just you know the heights that I held myself to.
