When people say things like ‘(person) is the best female rapper’, it’s kind of a ridiculous statement. What’s most interesting about Dej Loaf is the fact that she’s a female rapper but on her own terms. Add Dej’s almost child like voice which she uses to talk about everything from romance to revenge the two are the perfect combination. He couples this with trap drums and a tonne of bass creating the perfect mesh of light and heavy. His music is lighthearted and wouldn’t sound out-of-place in a Disney musical. His instrumentals are the natural progression to the wave of post R&B started by Kanye (on 808’s And Heartbreak) and popularised by Drake. Well it just so happens her mixtape ‘ Sell Sole‘, released at the end of last year, was a surprisingly strong debut and proof that she is the female rapper the world needs right now.įirstly a decent amount of credit should go to producer DDS. There have always been rappers who come out with a song that dominates the summer and then disappear when the follow-up fails to live up to the hype and it’s fair to say that no one would’ve been surprised if the same happened to Dej Loaf. Female rapper Dej Loaf started to gain attention during the back-end of summer last year when Drake tweeted support for her single ‘ Try Me‘ and Wiz Khalifa hopped on the remix.
