Tha Landin, named to introduce the official start of Dukwons career also a popular landmark in downtown, Jacksonville, demonstrates a fusion of old school hip-hop and modern day country rap. These tracks are factually my life, explains Dukwon, I aint no gangster or drug dealer, Im the one that kept straight and stayed focused, thats why my music feels so real, explains Dukwon. Sometimes real life is funny and sometimes it aint nothing to smile about but either way I'm gonna bring it to you through my music just like it is.
