LEGENDARY ATLANTA PRODUCER KILLED BY HIS OWN SON, AND YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHY
Austin says this hurts in more ways than one because he’s close to both father and son.
“It was a situation that went too far, but that was probably something that was deeply rooted as their relationship as father and son,” said Austin.
Who was Clinton “D-Billz” Dorsey?
Dorsey, who went by the nicknames “D-Billz” and “D-Billy,” was born and raised around Washington, D.C., but he made his mark on music when he moved to Atlanta.
Through his production, Beats by D-Billz LLC, he worked with both established and emerging artists, including Da Baby, Lil Baby, City Girls, Lil Boosie, and YFN Lucci.
“He was a two-time platinum producer. He worked with a lot of Atlanta artists, Lil Baby, YFM Lucci, a lot of people, he’s made his mark in the city,” said Austin.
“His contributions to the music scene were immense, with hits like ‘Throat Baby’ from BRS Kash standing as a testament to his talent and creativity,” business partner Derk Whitlock said.
Austin says in addition to his contributions to the music scene, his friend also had a thriving dog breeding business.
“Dorsey Kennels. He bred French bulldogs, frenchies, That was something that was very lucrative for him, he had a big love and passion for it, just as much as the music,” said Austin.
That day it was said him and his son argued about dogs and engaging in dog fighting.
Dorsey owned that business with his son.
Members of the music community say D-Billz will be remembered for his warmth, creativity and dedication to his craft.
“Rest in peace my good brother, I love you,” said Austin. He was killed over dogs.
Williams says plans for a memorial in Dorsey’s honor are in the works.
