Kleph Dollaz Day and community festival this Saturday

Darrell K. Durant, aka Dollaz, was one of the first rappers from Virginia to sign with a major record label as part of the rap group Ill Biskits in 1995. He went on to produce for such top-tier rap acts as Talib Kweli, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Black Moon and PMD. His later solo releases, such as “Square in the Circle” (2011), showcased his strong spiritual convictions. He died from a heart attack Aug. 28, 2012, at the age of 40.
