About Dee-1
New Orleans based rapper, Dee-1 created his own
lane in hip-hop by making music that’s “real”, “righteous” and “relevant”. He is the self-proclaimed “voice of the
underdog who grinds with a higher purpose”. In March 2011 Dee-1, a former
school teacher, created a huge buzz in the rap game with the release of “I Hope They Hear Me Vol 2”, a mixtape packed
with 18 high energy tracks. Most
historic was his single “Jay, 50, and Weezy,” that put him on the radar of
major label reps. Dee-1 released, “The

of David,” (featuring the hit song “Work” ft. Lecrae) creating fans worldwide.
