Try to combine being cadence driven while balancing a unique understanding of wordplay and you get Da Deputy, a Rapper and Songwriter hailing from Fort Worth, Texas. Dep’s Texas & southern roots are clearly showcased in his music, pulling inspiration from the likes of Chamillionaire, Screwed Up Click, Outkast and more. After putting the groundwork in his city, he relocated to Atlanta, GA to further his connections in music. Honing his craft for years, Dep emerged with his late 2018 EP release “Elinor”. That EP earned him an interview at New York City’s radio station “Power 105” (Home of The Breakfast Club). In 2019 he followed up with his EP “Lackland” and the lead single “Hear Me ” caught the ears of Mal (from the Rory & Mal Podcast). That same year he released his “Qinian” EP, which vividly paints his experiences while in Beijing, China. Dep & his team released a mini documentary that accompanied that project as well. With his 2020 lead single “Did or Didn't” featuring Jalen Santoy garnering over 458,000 listeners, and the Phay & Rona Ray assisted single “Side Of Me”, being featured on the hit television show “All American”, the demand for a project grew louder. The 2022 album release, “Northside Dep”, is Dep’s biggest project to date.
Ending off 2022 with over 2.4 million streams you can expect Da Deputy to have a breakout year in 2023.
