Dolo Fibonacci Wants To Evoke Emotion and Legacy with His Latest Album Cujo

BIRMINGHAM, AL-- Dolo Fibonacci’s music stems from his love of poetry growing up. Writing about his emotions came naturally, and Fibonacci thought it made sense to combine his love for music that he had been surrounded by in both his life and amongst the Birmingham music scene. Ten years into being a rap artist he's released four albums, including his most recent release Cujo, continuing to evoke his emotions into his sound. 

Cujo plays out like a movie soundtrack, with samples, dark beats, soulful piano instrumentals, and narratives in between songs. Fibonacci agrees that he aimed to make Cujo a sensory experience, enhancing listeners to both hone into his emotions and the lifestyle of his West Birmingham upbringing. 

“It’s essentially a trap diary if I had to place it,” he says. “I have bigger ambitions and bigger expectations out of myself, so I take this current situation that I’m in and amplify that to elevate myself out of the construct of being a product of my environment, being involved in the street life and just trying to navigate my way through certain things. It’s pretty much like a GPS out of the streets to me.”

Influenced by soul artists such as the emotion of Otis Redding, to the beat of Luther Vandross, as heard on his 2018 song “Luther, Vol. 1,” Fibonacci takes a lot of advice from his musical forefathers--almost analyzing the impactful sounds in order to create something compelling and original for his audience that provides perspective, and that he’s labeled as ‘soul trap.’ 

On “Cujo (Buss Out Da Trap)” describes Dolo’s hope for his future, and the confidence that his storytelling can provide success. As the CEO of his label Innovations Visions, Fibonacci is growing his name and his aim: to be working in the business forever--Fibonacci representing the Fibonacci Sequence as never-ending, essentially expressing that he is cementing his legacy as a musical artist much like his predecessors.

“When I get done making this music and my time here has expired, I want it to continue to transcend the same way that all the other greats in music have passed and still live in the world as if it was new.”
