What happens when you fuse space-age production quirks and trap-soaked drums with a ranged, melody-driven rap toolkit? You get DDG. After turning into ‘Elon Musk’ alongside YSL’s Gunna and diving into the UK rap ether — via Notion — selecting a 10Trax-worth of UK rap anthems, DDG is back to govern the summer. The multi-platinum Pontiac native is back with his single, ‘Storyteller’, courtesy of Epic Records.
For the track — produced by Corbett — DDG tugs on the heartstrings as he croons in a pop-adjacent manner over a trap-spun beat. In a welcome switch-up from his recent tunes, ‘Storyteller’ does exactly what the title infers. DDG crafts a narrative around heartache, toxic masculinity and the art of emotional warfare. On the instrumental front, the track is kitted-out with sharp 808 drum kicks and shimmering guitar riffs.
‘Storyteller’ follows DDG’s viral, Gunna-assisted single ‘Elon Musk’, released back in February. Since its debut, the Complex co-signed-track has amassed well over 25 million streams on Spotify alone — with almost 10 million views on YouTube too. ‘Storyteller’ looks to continue DDGs relentless splash in the UK scene as he comes through with pitch-perfect style and bravado.
This July, DDG is set to share a highly-anticipated full-length project. Tentatively entitled, ’Take Me Serious 2’ — the follow-up to his cult classic mixtape from 2017 — DDG will accompany this drop by flying to European shores in July to hit the festival circuit. DDG is looking to infiltrate the Europe rap sphere with gigs at Wireless Festival in the UK, WooHah in the Netherlands, Rolling Loud Portugal and Splash in Germany.
With a potential classic project in the works, ‘Storyteller’ has set the benchmark high for mainstream hip hop in 2022. Check him out in an official video below…
‘Layers’, the debut mixtape from South London’s Deego, is a refreshing and timeless project packed with an exciting “mix and blend” of different vibes and flavours to create one succinct and infectious project.
Tracks ‘Jiggy’, ‘Skin Deep’ and ‘Rum & Weed’ are all perfect additions to add to radio playlists and DJ sets, with Deego injecting his signature artist flair into each one.
Notably recorded between Miloco Studios and Deego’s home studio, ‘Layers’ was also mixed and mastered by none other than Darren Jones, who bears impressive credits such as artists Harry Styles, Skepta, Stormzy, Kojo Funds, J Hus, Florence and the Machine, Major Lazor and more.
Camberwell raised and of Nigerian descent, Deego is a UK artist bearing a unique and eclectic range of sounds and influences including Rap & Hip Hop, Garage, Neo-Soul, R&B, G-Funk, Afrobeats and Drill.
When Deego lost his close friend and fellow rapper Temidayo in 2011 to knife crime, it sparked him to take music more seriously in order to break free of London gang culture. Fast forward to 2021, he released a string of singles that gained an impressive amount of traction in the underground scene, most notably the single ‘Brilliant Wave’.
Deego has been steadily gearing up to drop his debut body of work ‘Layers’ – available now on all streaming platforms. Check it out below…
