Over the course of his career, e-dubble released four albums; Straight Outta St. Mary's (2006), Hip-Hop is Good (2009), Reset EP (2012) and Two Tone Rebel (2016).
[h2]Early life[/h2]
Wallace grew up outside of Philadelphia, the youngest child of a principal and a schoolteacher. In the 1990s, Wallace and his friends fell under the spell of hip-hop cast by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre; his music would later be known for its common celebrations of this love of hip-hop. He played center on the Wissahickon High basketball team, but dreamed of being a rapper. In an interview with the Baltimore magazine, Wallace cited Eminem's breakout success in the late 90's as a major inspiration to him, saying "Eminem showed that a white rapper could have a career. It was about skills, whether or not you could do it."
[h2]Background[/h2]
After graduating from St. Mary’s College of Maryland with a degree in political science, e-dubble moved to Baltimore to live with his friends and collaborators. Together they formed the hip-hop band Young English, and played their first show in July 2008. The group went on to purchase a renovated warehouse, dubbed “The Hampden Mansion,” where e-dubble would later go on to write, record, and produce his debut album Hip-Hop is Good. He went on to produce his Freestyle Friday series, a weekly series of free songs.
[h2]Career[/h2]
In 2009, e-dubble released his debut album, "Hip Hop is Good". The next year, in August 2010, e-dubble created his YouTube channel. He quickly began releasing freestyles on every Friday creating the series "Freestyle Fridays", in which he sampled other songs (such as Tighten Up and MMMBop) and rapped over the instrumentals. He also occasionally collaborated with his band, Young English, to make the tracks. The series ran throughout 2010 and a final track was released in 2012. The series was noted for its effective use of samples, lyrics and e-dubble's spoken word outros, in which he communicated with fans. He followed this up in 2012 with his next album, "Reset EP". He released his final album in 2016 with "Two Tone Rebel". His most popular songs include "Be a King", "Let Me Oh" and "What it Do".
[h2]Death[/h2]
On 21 January 2017, 23 days before his death, e-dubble posted a photo on his Instagram of a swollen hand, with the caption "I don't recommend throwing up half of your body's blood. Or having your hand swell up like Martin Short in 'Pure Luck' or needing 10 blood transfusions. But I'm gonna be aight. Thanks for the love". One of his business partners, Danny, later tweeted on 27 January: "Keep our friend e-dubble in your thoughts! He is at the Hahnemann Hospital fighting a serious infection", suggesting the infection was not getting better. As e-dubble became unusually inactive on the internet, rumors began to circulate that he had died, and were eventually confirmed on Twitter by many of his close associates as well as eventually the Black Paisley Records website. E-Dubble passed away on February 13, 2017.

Changed My Mind
by E-dubble
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to.
Live my life, a to z
Fill up all the vacancies
Feel the vindication from the hate you get for chasing dreams
I'm major league with or without any cosign
Stealing 3rd base, no coach, no go sign, AHHH
That's why I'm feeling how I'm feeling now
Music's my escape but it's feeling even realer now
Grassroots, fuck that, we are on some other shit
Call it what you want but motherfucker you know what it is
I'll fucking bleed for it, ask them, they know
Color me in sepia they are fuckin' day glow
Shades on, shoes tied shorcuts never work
In it for the long haul, pot shots never hurt
Thick skinned rhinos, elephants we don't forget
What's important overall, no withdrawl we don't regret
Pushing forward even those this life sucks sometimes
Fucking with this noose I promise I can get it untied
You made it outta bed, task one, crossed off
Step 2, show them that you ain't gone be a rag doll
Stand up, backbone, strong enough to break falls
Ref is tryna make ammends look at all those late calls.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to live.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to breathe.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to oh.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to go.
So many people with the wrong intentions
We been living with a selfish vision
But I guess it's how we get through it
We take a lesson from the hardships
Bet on ourselves, grit our teeth and hurry up and get to it
'Cause we only get a minute to figure out what our business is
Your bucket list is getting long hope you finish it
And in your movie they ain't cast mr. nicholson
Stumbling over jaded plots, better making revisions
It's a different kind of feeling when you're doing what you wanna do
Charity is great but you can't help until you make it too
Or maybe that's the reason you've been all broken up
Vanity keeps you panicked your image isn't focused up
Open up and talk about, walk it out and talk again
Closing off is why you see those fucking walls closing in
Break em' down and go outside
Live your life don't live the lie
Lose the attitude and prove that you know how to be alive
And prove that you can thrive, get your money, buy the things
But know that honesty and guts is how you bought the ring
And now your married to it, scarred up a changed person
Reward the hard work looks like the pain was worth it.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to live.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to breathe.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to.
I went to sleep, to sleep; to sleep.
I'm riding with a heart up on my sleeve
I ain't even sure it's mine but I'm gonna let it be
No instructions to this shit so I add another piece
Playing legos with my life I am tryna build a dream
Arts and crafts day build it from scratch
Construction paper for the skyline, the buildings are matchsticks
Uh Michel Gondry with the imagery
And I ain't pop a single pill today so who's to say just who can limit me, nobody
Old soul more like a spring chicken
When them gears start turning and endorphins start kicking
Who's to say what's on the other side
Not me, not you
You don't need to bless me, I just need to haunt you
Sick with it, pandemic, get with it
We are in the same boat we should prolly go fishin', fishin'
And I am feeling like I'm on a mission
So when I wake up please don't tell me any different.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to live.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to breathe.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to oh.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to go.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to live.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to breathe.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to oh.
I went to sleep and I woke up dead
But I changed my mind, and I want to go.
