• Reality-meets-drug induced visualise

• Sharp and glassy lyricism that dives into deeper levels of emotions.

Self describing as a “Rapper. Poet. Divergent mind.” De Jay’s music conveys messages of persistence, grinding, emotions, light-hearted jokes and growing as a person. He makes music for the people who “feel everything, fight silent battles and rise by any means.”
