D. Gabriel, better known by his stage name Erotic D, is an American record producer and rapper from Fort Worth, Texas. He first came to prominence as a member of the production crew DFW Posse, who produced tracks for the Fila Fresh Crew in 1991. In 1993, Erotic D released the album The Death Penalty as a member of the group Life Afta Death. Erotic D became associated with former Fila Fresh-member The D.O.C., who was also from Texas, and his label Death Row Records. The D.O.C. and Erotic D left the label in 1994, and the two moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
Erotic D produced the entirety of The D.O.C.'s second album Helter Skelter in 1996, but the album received negative reviews and was largely ignored. Still in Atlanta, Erotic D produced for MC Breed and his former group DFC in 1997, who were also living in the city at the time. Erotic D moved back to Nort Texas later that year, and founded his label E-World Entertainment. Erotic D teamed up with The D.O.C. again in 2003 to produce tracks for his third album Deuce. In 2007, Erotic D released The Black Bruce Willis, which is his only solo album to date.
Erotic D continues to make music, and promotes artists through his label E-World. He owns and operates multiple businesses in the North Texas area, and a 2015 interview with the Dallas Observer notes that Erotic D is considering running for city council in his current home of Keller.[1]
