Kenneth Greene (born August 12, 1984), better known by his stage name Doap Nixon, is an American hip hop artist and rapper who is a former member of supergroup Army of the Pharaohs.
He has collaborated with a variety of underground hip hop artists and released his debut full solo album, Sour Diesel in 2008.
Jedi Mind Tricks frontman Vinnie Paz met Doap Nixon in 1998 through OuterSpace and King Syze, as he lived in the same hood as them.
A long time mainstay in the thriving Philadelphia independent hip-hop scene, Doap Nixon is best known for his breakout performance on Army of the Pharaohs (the supergroup fronted by Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks) in their late 2007 underground smash Ritual of Battle.
Amidst a groundswell of anticipation, Doap unveiled his debut LP, Sour Diesel, which features guest appearances from the core AOTP clique, including powerhouse Vinnie Paz, OuterSpace, King Syze, King Magnetic, Reef The Lost Cauze and more as well as production from some of independent, most renowned and respected hip hop producers such as Apathy, Snowgoons, Stu Bangas, Undefined, Stress, Skammadix amongst others.
[12] It's been a long time coming for this project, and due to the negative forces that tried to prevent this from materializing, Gray Poupon is more than a Music Album, it is a statement of how strong a family AOTP is and the strength and perseverance I possess.
This album features are at a minimum because I wanted to show more of Doaps talents but still have my core AOTP members Celph Titled, Outerspace, Journalist, Burke the Jurke, Sick Six, Block McCloud, Chief Kamachi, Capo & Rellik.
[14] Apathy, who wasn't featured on the previous album returned to the group and new additions were added to the roster including; Block McCloud and Journalist.
[4] Doap raps about his catalogue, listing credits and collaborations, and compares them against other emcees ascending into the public eye.
Fellow pharaohs; Apathy, Blacastan, Celph Titled, Demoz, Esoteric, King Magnetic, Reef The Lost Cauze, OuterSpace, V-Zilla, Vinnie Paz and other artists including Helen Sciandra, Cynthia Holliday and Ill Bill were all featured on the album.
[6] In 2012 Doap Nixon appeared on the song "Microphone Controllers" with Long Island emcees Dave Z(The MC) and Lantz.
With Nixon's release of Sour Diesel II, Paz threatened to remove his lyrics and track contributions unless Doap removed King Magnetic's verses from the album and as a result released the diss track "Be Quiet", which was recorded years earlier.
