Motown’s musical revival is on the horizon and Dusty McFly embodies the spirit of Detroit’s artistic youth movement. Hip Hop artist, Dusty McFly exemplifies and innovates an aspect of Detroit popular culture that the world has not yet seen. His debut album Buffies and Benihana’s will bring listeners on a raw journey throughout the Motor City. Reminiscent of vintage E-40 and Snoop Dogg, Dusty has become an integral part of Detroit’s unique language pioneering catch phrases such as, “I’m out here!” “Scums,” “Fleez” etc.
Raised by his mother and grandmother who gave him the nickname “Dusty” because of his light brown hair, the 22 year old artist learned what it means to be a man in the city. Driven by his love for Detroit, Dusty’s artistry stays true to its roots. Buffies and Benihana’s (B&B) tells the story of a young man influenced by Detroit’s up and coming youth, spirit of hustle, women and the never ending grind toward success. B&B is told from two perspectives of Dusty’s life.
Dusty states, “The Buffies part of Buffies and Benihana’s is like a story of the coming up of the youth here in the city of Detroit, from going through poverty, selling dope, going to jail, coming up in a single parent homes, basically, the life that I’ve seen.” He goes on, “The Benihana’s part is the young, wild, flashy, rich style, flamboyant Detroit d-boy.”
Dusty McFly’s music is an unapologetic reflection of the harsh realities that exist in Detroit, Michigan and other disenfranchised communities across the country. Dusty McFly’s music is a soundtrack to the city; it’s a celebration for those who were fortunate enough to overcome the social ills of their immediate environment, and a cry from the youth who have succumbed to it. Dusty McFly’s music is about making audiences aware of this lifestyle and reality.
“Detroit everything,” serves as Dusty’s message and standard for his music. Dusty states, “I'm all about bringing the city back so just listening to me will get the unfamiliar people aware of our lifestyle. I make music to raise awareness of the environment in which we live in. He goes on, “Detroit has hustlers, entrepreneurs, and educated individuals. We can succeed anywhere. No one outside of Detroit knows that or understands us. I want the industry and people to know that we are capable of any and everything we choose to do. My music embodies that and more.”
