'Da Gittens Boyz' is the current name of the new born rap group from
the Bahamas. Also known as 'DGB', this group consists of 2 brothers
Latrell Gittens (Tunda) 28 & Michael Gittens (T'O) 25. Growing up,
Tunda and T'O played the snare and bass drum in the church band and also
sang in the children's choir. They would harmonize and make riddles of
there own, which caused their love for music to grow tremendously. Tunda
began composing music on the computer with a software back then
commonly known as 'Fruityloops'.
As time went on they formed a group in
high school then known as 'Da All StarzZ'. 'DAS' was a 4 man group that
took off with a mixtape track called "Flip flopz". The success of this
track opened doors on the radio locally, also giving them the
opportunity to perform at the Hip Hop Power Summit in The Bahamas.
However due to issues with management things fell through, but from that
moment on they were permanently inspired to make rap a lifetime career.
On August 5th 2009, landing another opportunity to perform in North
Carolina with Market America, the 3 group membership single "Welcome to
Bahamas" lit up the airways but things took a turn causing the group to
split due to personal differences. The brothers took a 2 year break away
from music but with some spiritual reevaluation and a passion for music
they returned as a duo bringing forth Da Gittens Boyz. This led to a
much anticipated come back where they released their new hit single, the
remake of Labi Siffre, "Something inside" featuring Dano. This was the
beginning of a New Road. This then prompted them to release a single off
their new mix-tape 'M&M' (Much & More) named 'Get Away'. Da
Gittens Boyz received great feedback on local radio they decided to
create a music video at home in the Bahamas,which earned them 3rd spot
on the Beat100 charts.Now their currently promoting their Much&More
original mix-tape, but it doesn't stop there. DGB is always up to
creating new music! and with a brand like "BigMinds" its clear they got
big things ahead for them in the near future.
