Rather than stick to the script, compromise, or follow, DDG has confidently and charismatically blazedhis own trail through hip-hop. Hailing from Pontiac, MI, he has quietly asserted himself as amultiplatinum rapper, trendsetting entrepreneur, and victorious boxer. Since 2016, he has vaulted tothe upper echelon of the culture, adorning top publications, picking up plaques, and eclipsing 1 billionstreams. However, he blasts off to another level altogether in 2022 on his second full-length album forhis own DDG Entertainment and Epic Records and more to come.He found fortitude within during his childhood. He endured the loss of his older brother to streetviolence, balanced a day job and school, and eventually saved up enough money to relocate to LosAngeles. After a series of early independent singles, he initially graduated from buzzing force to rap staron his 2019 debut, Valedictorian, which boasted the gold-certified banger “ARGUMENTS.” However, hereached the stratosphere in 2020 with the inescapable “Moonwalking In Calabasas (Remix)” [feat.BLUEFACE]. It marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum. Along the way, hecollaborated with everyone from YoungBoy NBA and Queen Naija to Coi Leray, Tyla Yaweh, MaskedWolf, G-Eazy, and G Herbo. Following his 2021 project Die 4 Respect with OG Parker, fansoverwhelmingly voted him on to XXL’s prestigious “Freshman Class” cover, and he also landed on thecovers of KAZI Magazine, PREME, and UPROXX who urged, “Get ready to watch the rise of DDG, a rapstar who is humble, unstoppable, and knows exactly how he plans on getting there.”He continues to dominate the conversation from every angle. He made his boxing debut at Hard RockStadium in Miami Gardens, FL in a 2021 fight against Nate Wyatt. He triumphantly won by decision.DDG only maintained his unprecedented momentum musically throughout 2022. He ignited the single“Elon Musk” [feat. Gunna] and naturally evolved with a combination of masterful lyricism and magneticmelodies. The track illuminated his progression, and it catapulted to #12 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100Singles Chart. Right out of the gate, REVOLT raved, “The new song sees the two playing off of eachother’s melodic flows effortlessly as they slide over a calm beat.”Even gravity can’t contain DDG as he gears up for his sophomore offering and trains hard to makehistory and become “the first rapper in space.”He’s about to take over rap not only on this planet, but perhaps across the universe as well.
