Sean Doe (2)

Rahsaan “Sean Doe” Hawkins was born on the west side, but raised on the south side. Sean Doe is an artist and DJ who’s been a staple in the Chicago hip-hop community since the late eighties as a graffiti artist, joining the CBS crew in the early nineties. He was also part of both KLOUT and TRIBE crews. After leaving Alabama A&M University, he returned to his hometown in 2000 to begin his career as a DJ and marketing professional. Sean Doe’s success as the Chicago street team promoter for both ABB and Stones Throw record labels, pushing projects for Little Brother and J. Dilla, respectively, eventually drew the attention of All Natural, Inc. The Chicago-based independent label was then home to artists Iomos Marad, Rita J, The Primeridian and label namesakes, All Natural. His experience with marketing and promotion eventually led to A&R duties and helping to run the label with co-founder Tone B. Nimble.
