D'Andres (known to friends and family as Dre) has always had a creative mind. In 2015 he began to speak of creating a brand called "Hood Baby" but only going as far as designing logos, the idea had then died. In 2019 he had dug the grave of an old dream. After much planning, promoting, and hard-work, the brand Hood Baby had began to take off.
The term Hood Baby, as explained by Dre means following: " Just because you have been born into a bad neighborhood, living situation, etc. doesn't mean that you're bound to fail. It means your a hood baby, someone who is or has faced adversities or any other set back and still is successful or is on the road to success. For example, Oprah was abused as a child and was a victim of racial barriers and has become the first African American Woman to become a self-made billionaire. Barack Obama suffered from racism and racial barriers as well and has become the first African American President." Hood Baby is not a derogatory name but an uplifting one!
