Artists
Coffee, Culture, Hip-Hop is more than a slogan — it's our competitive moat. Think of Dope Coffee as a hybrid record label: Dope Coffee Music Group (DCMG) develops hip-hop artists, releases original music, runs artist merchandise programs, and manages our roster across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X.
Meet the Founders
Michael and Michelle Loyd founded Dope Coffee in 2019. Both Wake Forest University alumni: Michael, a former Marine officer and Afghanistan veteran, leads as CEO and drives design and branding; Michelle, a Registered Dietitian and flavorist, directs product development as Chief Product Officer.

A CPG/music concept album by Creative Mike The Rapper x Stace Loyd — every track pairs with a coffee you can actually buy. Pods, bagged coffee, ready-to-drink.
Artist Coffee Lines
Every DCMG drop pairs an artist with their own coffee — developed, roasted, and sold through Dope Coffee.
