Young Dot To Dot RottenDot changed his name to Dot Rotten, after wanting to start afresh. As Young Dot said, "it represents a time when I was reckless and ignorant and wasn’t really too on point. Basically I didn’t have my head screwed on, I had a lot of things happen that put a tarnish on the name Y.Dot, itself. So it was to have a fresh start plus Dot Rotten stands for 'Dirty on Tracks, Righteous Opinions Told To Educate Nubians' or Niggas or whatever… There’s deeper meanings to it all so its all part of being a process of becoming a new artist, to market myself differently now" [1] He is also a practicing muslim as noticed from his song 'I'm A Leader & Can't Test My Crew.'
