Andre L. Adams better known by his stage name Andre Nickatina, is an American rapper from San Francisco, California. He previously performed under the stage name Dre Dog.
Andre L. Adams is a hip hop artist who began his career under the name Dre Dog. He released to albums under the pseudonym, the 1993 debut 'The New Jim Jones' and 1995 'I Hate You With A Passion' which received moderate commercial success, making waves in the Hip Hop Billboard Charts. After he decided to ditch the Dre Dog tag, he began to release material under the name Andre Nickatina including the albums 'Cocaine Raps' and 'Raven In My Eyes' which were both praised for their high production values and interesting tones and mixes.
Later that year Nickatina founded his own record label Fillmoe Coleman which he continued to occasionally release his own material on throughout his career. His reputation on the West Coast hip hop scene started to grow dramatically following the release of albums such as 'Tears Of a Clown' and 'These R the Days'. An early reviewer of Nickatina's CD release party stated "a quick-witted rapper who spits as hard as Kurupt does". He has released a large amount of solo material over his career, his most commercially successful being the 2013 self titled LP which topped the US Heat charts.
He also has released mix-tapes and collaborations with the likes of Equipto and The Jacka.
