Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dope By Nature was a hip-hop duo from Queens, New York, formed in the late 1980s by childhood friends Keir "Gift of Gab" Gist and David "Dave Love" Willis. They put out their debut album "No Dealz" in 1991, which included the track "Blackout." That song became their most recognizable work.
Their music had a raw quality that stood out at the time, mixing detailed wordplay with soulful touches over hard beats. While they faced some criticism for the content in their lyrics, they kept making records that reflected their own perspective. They followed up with albums like "Dope By Nature" in 1993.
