Rising Los Angeles artist Dooley is carving out a lane that’s all his own with the release of his new project, NonAffiliateRadio, Vol. 1. The 10-track collection blends raw storytelling with the undeniable pulse of the West Coast, offering both grit and groove in every record. From the opening track, Dooley makes it clear he’s not chasing trends, he’s defining his sound, rooted in authenticity and street perspective.
Standout records like “BoosieFade” featuring DJ Robby Robs showcase his charismatic delivery and neighborhood charm, while “FMDance” brings that nostalgic classic West Coast clap, made for backyard functions and late-night rides down Crenshaw. Then there’s “DGAF”, a record that fully captures his confidence and fearless approach reminding listeners that Dooley moves with purpose, never validation.
NonAffiliateRadio, Vol. 1 is more than just a playlist, it’s a declaration of independence. Every song has a story to tell, piecing together the everyday experiences, lessons, and energy that make LA culture so magnetic. Whether he’s turning up with the homies or reflecting on real-life challenges, Dooley’s versatility shines through, balancing street anthems with soulful undertones.
This project positions Dooley as one of the emerging voices redefining what it means to represent Los Angeles hip-hop today—authentic, unfiltered, and deeply connected to the city that raised him. NonAffiliateRadio, Vol. 1 is exactly what its name suggests: a broadcast for the ones who stand on their own.
