Foe Letterz

Have you ever had a dream and felt like there was no market for you in your hometown, well that is exactly how Charles “Foe Letterz” Dou felt growing up in Alexandria Louisiana. Born August 31, 1984 in a town still filled with so much racism, and being harassed everyday by cops. If black people are not accepted than certainly you can not expect for their music to be played. Life comes with so many tribulations that one must surpass to understand their real purpose.

At the age of 6yrs old Foe Letterz realized that he had a talent in rapping, but never really explored the opportunity of possibly having a career in the entertainment industry. This was definitely due to the lack of inspiration there in his community. Luckily for this young man he possessed more than one talent. With his tall and lanky frame basketball would come to be what he was known for. Accomplishing many goals in basketball during high school, the real test was if he could get his grades right to further his career in basketball.

Unfortunately like so many young men, he saw the “glory” of the streets, and lost his way. Foe Letterz tried to continue to give school a real chance and he attended a year of school at Southern University. He soon realized after that year that school was not in his destiny, at that point in his life. The most important thing to do at this time was to get his mind right and focus on what he would do with his life. Like so many of us do when we are reflecting on our lives we reach back into the things that once made us so happy, without the monetary fulfillment and for Foe Letterz this was music.

Now at the age of 18yrs old the time to get serious with the music was now. Leaving school only a year in and the life of the streets so enticing Foe Letterz was so determined not to continue down the wrong path. A year later Foe Letterz would have the opportunity to move to Dallas, TX where the music industry was just now starting to jump off after a few years in the dark. This would be the chance that he was looking for, seeing that Dallas has two major hip hop radio stations that could back him in his music.

Foe Letterz in now working in the studio daily, to make sure that he does not disappoint his city. “I am just trying to stay humble, and out of the streets, music saved me”. He is now working on multiple singles that will have an impact on this industry and not just blend in. Of course living a life with so many stepping stones it would be nothing if he couldn’t give back. The Boys and Girls Club is Foe Letterz first volunteer outlet, because he knows how important it is for children to stay busy. There are so many influencers out there that children rather pay attention to, but if they can see someone in a position that they may want to aspire to be in; helping them out it may totally change the direction of there life for the better.

Foe Letterz draws inspiration from Michael Jordan. No matter what professional avenue you take, Jordan showed practice makes close to perfect and persistence helps people see the greatness in you. This is what you can expect to see from Foe Letterz. Life has not always been easy for him but his persistence in life is making it that much easier for him to see greatness in his experiences.
