Dex McBean, also known as “Tripl3X”, is a Brooklyn native rapper, actor, and sketch comic, and a founding member of the rap group Ashy L Bowz, which won a 2010 Underground Music Award for “Most Original Group”, as well as Independent Music Award and Hollywood Music Award nominations in 2009. The Bowz were also featured in High Times as an “Unsigned Band of the Week” which landed them a coveted performance at the Magazine’s legendary 420 Party.

Since working with the Bowz, Dex has stayed sharp in the New York hip-hop scene by competing frequently in the Supreme BARS and Freestyle Mondays battle series, winning seven titles and earning a reputation as a formidable and often hilarious improviser.

Dex’s songwriting interests have more recently turned to financial literacy and investing, and his forthcoming album “WeALTH: We All Live to Hustle” is a collection of twelve tracks that take listeners back to school on the saving and investing habits they should have learned a long time ago.
