Terrance Vasser, professionally known as Dojo Rex, is an independent Hip-Hop/Rap artist from the historical city of Selma, Alabama, which is home to the famous Edmund Pettus Bridge that was crossed by Martin Luther King Jr. himself during the March for civil rights. Dojo’s recently released project, “Championship,” has been making waves across social media.
The music video for his single, “Welcome To The Dojo,” has already accumulated over 134,000 views on YouTube in just a few short weeks. This came as a shock to many due to it tripling the view count of his previous song, “Fireman,” showing that there’s something special about this small-town artist from the black-belt area. Dojo has also worked alongside some notable videographers such as Cotto0verdidit, MontanaShotYa, and Alabama’s own DTG Studios who all played a part in bringing his vision to life.
Although his rise to stardom has just begun, Dojo has been working on his craft for 13 years. When asked what advice he would give to other aspiring artists from his area, he replied, “I would tell them to work on their signature until it becomes an autograph,” which were the cryptic words of one of his best friends who passed away due to gun violence in 2014.
The future looks bright for Dojo Rex, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us next. His success is not only a win for him but also serves as a source of inspiration for the youth that look up to him. Let’s hope that his story will spark motivation and encouragement in the hearts of aspiring artists everywhere.
