Devin Alonzo Housley (born July 7 1989) is better known by his stage name Devin Downer (formerly Dev Dolla). He is a rapper/producer/song writer and one of the front men for his un-official label DMG. Devin first started being interested in actually making music when his Godbrother ''D.c'' played music he was making in a basic desktop studio setup.After going and purchasing what he needed to start his own ''mini-studio'' Dev started recording material in his room. One year later, he met a fellow musician by the name of Andrew Litwin(B.o.m-D),and together they formed the Producer/Rapper duo DeadlyTouch.Dev credits B.o.m-D to introducing him to the world of beat-making.After working together on a unofficial demo,Dev and B.o.m-D parted ways on good terms,but continue to work together and stay in touch. After parting with B.o.m-D,Dev didnt have access to original beats to record to so using the knowledge he gained being in DeadlyTouch he started producing his own music and started a un-official label using his passed duo name ''Deadly Touch Ent.''. Recruiting his high school friends Young Lexx (Bobby Lexie) and Tazz-O (Anthony Pierre) ''DTE'' started recording in Dev's slowly upgrading studio.Being in a semi-suburb, mixtape mom and pop stores were not around so the newly formed DTE label were unable to release any material other then on the internet. Upon moving back to his hometown Syracuse NY Dev spent only a short time there before recruiting his left hand man P-Smilez (Paul Reese) and releasing his first solo project titled ''The Matrix:Version_D.E.V.3.1.5'' which sold close to a 100 copies of in Corcoran High School and around the Southside of town. A year after releasing his first mixtape Dev released a follow up in his matrix series titled ''The Matrix Reloaded:Live Or Die Tryin''which was better (and mostly produced by Dev himself) then the first,but lacked in sells due to being out of High School.DTE also released a mixtape featuring newly recruited members Jae Peso & Yung Skrap (brothers) titled DSA:Deadly Service Announcement which was almost completely produced by Dev(Dev also made the covers for these 2 mixtapes). Dev has came to with his style and enjoys making music that he says is a mix of''Gorillaz,NERD,Lupe,Jay-Z,Kanye West and The Neptunes''.Dolla's new focus is his DMG team...and those loyal to it.
