It at once evokes the warbly vocal manipulations of post- Future Atlanta, the hypercolor sparkle of Chicago bop, the slurry melodicism of Cincinnati youngsters RahnRahn Splash and Chubb Splash, while also sounding like absolutely nothing else out. Whether Drake will release his own remix remains to be seen, but regardless, “Try Me” is poised for “Hot Nigga”-level ubiquity.įor a song with such immediate buzz, “Try Me” is pretty damn weird: its shimmering backdrop (from Detroit producer DDS) softens the edges of Dej’s blunt lyrics, and her Auto-tuned sing-song makes dead-serious lines like “Put the burner to his tummy and make it bubbly” sound like cozy nursery rhymes. Since he quoted her intoxicating single “Try Me” in an Instagram post late last week, the song has taken off: it’s been referenced by everyone from Kevin Durant to Ty Dolla $ign, and on Monday, Wiz Khalifa delivered his remix of the track. She rolls through our rapid-fire interview, answering questions about the last time she cried, her favorite Detroit artist, and the last concert she went to.The dust has barely settled from Makonnen’s meteoric rise from Atlanta DIY weirdo to the newest member of the OVO Sound roster, but the power of the almighty Drake co-sign has struck again, this time with Detroit rap-singer Dej Loaf. DeJ is gearing up for the release of her debut album, 'Liberated', and its new video for “No Fear,” finds her ta riding a bed down an open road. She signed to Columbia Records, toured with Nikki Minaj, and garnered more than 40M views for “Back Up,” featuring Big Sean. When the smooth and sassy “Try Me” dropped in 2014, Drake quoted the song's lyrics on his Instagram, the track went viral (and was remixed by Wiz Khalifa), and DeJ's career shifted into high gear.
Her 2012 debut mixtape was titled 'Just Do It,' a nod to her love of Nikes (its followup was 'Sell Sole'). She was studying nursing in college but left school to go all in on music. Detroit rapper DeJ Loaf has been writing songs since she was 9.
