PeezyGoHard shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
PeezyGoHard, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: Who are you learning from right now?
Not to sound cliche but so far for me right now time has been the biggest teacher. No argument
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Whats good world?, I’m Daylon Brown, known as PeezyGoHard, an American rapper and entrepreneur from Dallas, Texas. I founded Black Dollar Records in 2016, inspired by the legacy of Tulsa’s Black Wall Street, to empower independent artists with control, knowledge, and fair business practices. My music, blending smooth melodies with hip-hop, includes albums like “64 JumpStreet”, released summer of July 4, 2025. Through Black Dollar Records, we’ve released over 50 songs and videos, supported local artists, and plan to shift music sales to our website for better artist earnings. My journey is driven by family, resilience, and a vision to disrupt the music industry while giving back to the Dallas community.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was nothing, lost in this world. I did what damaged goods do best—fucked shit up and didn’t care to ask questions. Strangely, though we were on some gladiator shit, there were real-life lessons we all shared from our own backgrounds. I give a lot of honor to the brothers I got to live that lifestyle with Boosie, Mack, Mike Mike, HB, Lil Edward all my Norlly brothers. We had nothing and fought literally for everything; no church in the wild type shit.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, there was a time I almost gave up. A few years ago, I lost my partner, Michael Chalmers, known as “Mike Mike,” who co-founded Black Dollar Records with me. It wasn’t his death that hit me hard—I’ve grown numb to things like that—but the events that followed. False accusations tarnished the label’s reputation, piling immense pressure on me. Every day, I felt like quitting.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The biggest lies that resonate with me is that rap/hip-hop is dying, artists over 30 should stop creating, and strip clubs are the only path to success for local rap/hiphop rnb artists. Other lies are that you’re not good enough, stylish enough, or don’t have enough jewelry to make it. All bs
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people will most misunderstand about my legacy that I genuinely don’t need or want anything from anyone beyond truly seeing them succeed—whether with or without me. My legacy is rooted in empowering others.
