Doe B, born Glenn Thomas on June 13, 1991, was an emerging artist from Montgomery, Alabama, whose potential was cut short by a tragic turn of events. Before his untimely death on December 28, 2013, Doe B was making headway in the Southern hip-hop scene as a member of the Grand Hustle Records roster, founded by the Atlanta rap heavyweight T.I. Doe B's signature eye patch—worn due to a shooting incident that occurred in 2009—became an emblematic part of his image as a survivor and a fighter in the rap game.
Release-wise, Doe B's mixtape legacy was marked by his 'Definition of a Trapper' series, with "D.O.A.T. 3 (Definition Of A Trapper) (Deluxe Edition)" cementing his raw storytelling and grasp of trap narratives. The extent of his impact posthumously is seen in songs like "Homicide" and "Why," both featuring T.I., suggesting the depth of respect and belief in Doe B's talent among his peers. His flow, often laid-back but sharp in delivery, won him fans, and tracks like "Betta Kno It" and "Eldorado Red" showcased an artist on the verge of a breakthrough. Doe B's death reverberated throughout the hip-hop community, with notable figures acknowledging the loss of a promising talent gone too soon.
