Early life [link]

At the age of 13,[2] Gonzo collaborated with rapper Cho PD, and was chosen to be part of his label, Future Flow Entertainment.[3] And from there on, he continued to produce songs for many famous Korean hip hop rappers, such as Drunken Tiger, Dynamic Duo, Epik High, and many more. Most of the lyrical composition was done by Dok2 alone himself and he also produced the beats.[4]

When he was 16, Dok2 was a member of Korean hip hop group ALL BLACK with fellow child rapper, Microdot. Together, they released their only single, "Chapter 1 / MUSIC, 2006." After the breakup of ALL BLACK, Dok2 pursued a solo career and released two mixtapes: Thunderground Musik and Vol 1. Illstrumentalz, at the age of 17. The current CEO of Illionaire Records was founded by rapper, Tablo, who was seeking artists for his label, Map The Soul Inc, which was formed of Epik High and MYK. Illionaire Records was founded by Dok2 himself.[5]

Career [link]

As a longtime member and affiliate of hip hop collective The Movement Crew, Dok2 has produced and collaborated with several Korean hip hop artists, including Drunken Tiger, Dynamic Duo, and Epik High. He is currently signed to Epik High's independent label, Map The Soul Inc, but later become the C.E.O. of Illionaire Records.

On November 25, 2009, Dok2 released his debut mini-album entitled the "Thunderground EP." He is now the CEO of 1llionaire Records with The Quiett. Dok2 will also be making his debut performance in London in July 2011, which was the first K-pop concert ever held in the UK. Other acts were also performed by artists such as "K-Pop Contest with YG Entertainment" winner, Cherelle Joy Thompson, DSD, Jay Differ and others.[6]

Illionaire Records [link]

Dok2 and The Quiett formed together to start of their very own independent Korean hip hop label, which was christened Illionaire Records, in January 2011. This was after The Quiett had announced his separation from Soul Company, which was another Korean hip hop label that The Quiett himself had created, alongside with Jerry. K & Kebee.

DOK2

Docking protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DOK2 gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in hematopoietic progenitors isolated from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients in the chronic phase. It may be a critical substrate for p210(bcr/abl), a chimeric protein whose presence is associated with CML. This encoded protein binds p120 (RasGAP) from CML cells.

Interactions

DOK2 has been shown to interact with INPP5D and TEK tyrosine kinase.
