New 936 Movement Spotlight on: Mr. AD the Problem Solver
Aaron Doucette has been said to be the most enthusiastic & unbiased supporter of all things 936 that there is. A true music lover, he entered the entertainment business by interning then running promotions for locally based Ghetto Millionaire Records & Off the Chain promo where he began meeting power brokers like Madd Hatta & Lil Flip, & then with a surprise ft. on Dre Key 's "Rep It Then" anthem the mic was wrecked & the Problem Solver was born. Yet, at the height of his career A.D. felt the calling, shelved his mixtape & began rapping Christian music. Some love it, some say it's a sham, but in his spotlight we see what he says about what it takes to walk, & rap, by faith.
