DEJ LOAF IN CONCERT:
Rising Detroit rapper Dej Loaf scored several major coups in 2015, including an appearance on XXL Magazine's coveted Freshman Class list and an opening gig for Nicki Minaj on The Pinkprint Tour. Critics have hailed her as hip hop's next big thing, and it's easy to see why whenever she performs her slick, minimal brand of trap in concert. From her relaxed flow and clever wordplay to her signature all-black gear, Loaf is the picture of self-assured swagger, and she always gets fans bouncing with her bass-heavy performances. From the hypnotic synths of "Try Me" to the sensual lyrics of "Me U & Hennessy", Dej Loaf gives ticket buyers plenty of futuristic hip hop goodness to help them get down every time she takes the stage.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Detroit-born Dej Loaf, aka Deja Trimble, was raised by her parents and grandmother on a steady diet of hip hop and jazz. Her father was killed when she was four years old, and at age nine she began writing music to channel her emotions. After dropping out of nursing school in 2011 to pursue music full-time, she made her debut in 2013 with the mixtape Just Do It. She followed up in 2014 with the track "Try Me", which got a major boost when Drake quoted its lyrics in an Instagram post. The exposure helped establish her as an emerging hip hop force, leading to a deal with Columbia records and a collaboration with Eminem. Critics took note -- in 2015 she was chosen as part of XXL Magazine's Freshman Class. Since then she's continued her rise, dropping her highly anticipated debut album #AndSeeThatsTheThing in summer 2015 and opening for Nicki Minaj on The Pinkprint Tour.
