DeJ’s catalog leans toward one-off singles, mixtapes, and EPs instead of traditional albums, but no matter the format, you know exactly who’s on the mic the second you hear her voice. Though she is quiet and reserved in person, her lyrics can be raunchy (as heard on Jacquees’ “Want Your Sex”), disarmingly aggressive (“Problem”), or achingly tender (“No Fear”), while her sound incorporates influences like hip-hop stylist E-40 and R&B singer Anita Baker, two of her childhood favorites. The song exploded on social media, thanks in part to a Drake shout-out, and suddenly DeJ Loaf became an in-demand feature contributor, jumping on tracks by Lil Durk, The Game, and Tinashe. “No Fear” is the first single from DeJ’s upcoming album Liberated.Few artists emerge as fully formed on a debut single as DeJ Loaf did with 2014’s “Try Me.” From the jump, the Detroit rapper, born Deja Trimble in 1991, sounded utterly distinct, with a melodic rap cadence that wrapped her threats against all comers in a sparkling musical package. Executive produced by multi-platinum selling, Grammy nominated.
My new album is a personal journey and I hope my fans enjoying riding along with me.” No Fear serves as the official single for her forthcoming, major label debut album Liberated. “The video sort of reflects that joyful feeling of going from daydreaming to realizing my dreams. “Growing up, I used to daydream in my bedroom about everything from love to my career to traveling the world,” she explains. The video is meant to mirror feelings from her childhood. DeJ ends the video in all white, with clones of herself happily dancing around. While gliding on the road, the camera pans into her ear, disappearing into a childhood dream world filled with butterflies. The visuals open up with Loaf daydreaming in her bedroom while listening to her breakout hit “Try Me.” From there, her bed breaks away from her room and onto a desert highway. Today (June 28), the Detroit bred rapper/singer has premiered the single’s official music video, directed by Rubberband. DeJ Loaf is fully embracing her R&B/pop side with her brand new single “ No Fear.”
