Dej Loaf recently shared a sweet moment on stage with one of hip-hop’s biggest stars. The Detroit native first began making music in 2011. Subsequently, she released her first mixtape, titled Just Do It a year later. Additionally, her talent eventually caught the eye of fellow Detroit rapper SAYITAINTTONE, who helped put her on. Subsequently, Dej’s song “Try Me” went viral in 2014. Dej would go on to find further commercial success in 2015 with her EP And See That’s The Thing. Unfortunately, Dej’s talent has often been overlooked. However, those in the know recognize her as one of rap’s most unique voices. Among her many admirers is rap legend Lil Wayne.
2Cool2Blog recently posted a video of Dej performing at a concert. In the video Lil Wayne appears on stage and the pair embrace. Wayne and Dej are not strangers to each other. Weezy made an appearance on Dej’s song “Me U and Hennessy” back in 2017. Moreover, Dej has noted that Wayne is one of her inspirations as an artist. It is remarkable how quickly Dej rose through the ranks in the industry. The “Back Up” artist went from relative obscurity to working with hip-hop’s A-list in just a few years. Indeed, her meteoric rise is considered by many to be one best stories in the industry over the past decade.
Dej Loaf Has Often Been Overlooked
Furthermore, Dej would go on to have a romantic relationship with another hip-hop mainstay. It was announced in 2015 that Dej was dating Chicago artist Lil Durk. However the couple would call it quits around a year later. Meanwhile, Dej’s popularity eventually began to take a dip. But this has little to do with her talent on the mic. Instead, her decline in the public imagination had more to do with her personality. Regarded by many as shy and reclusive, Dej began to lose ground to the industry’s more eccentric female rappers. However, the 32-year-old has remained busy. She released a new single, “Harpo! (Who Dis Woman)” last November.
Moreover, fans will be hoping that the music along with Lil Wayne’s cosign can help get Dej back in the limelight. Meanwhile, Wayne himself has also been keeping busy. The Louisiana native kicked of his Welcome To Tha Carter tour just last week. Additionally, Wayne is also slated to appear on Swizz Beatz’ Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2. album. It will be interesting to see how both Wayne and Dej get on going forward.
