WHAT IT IS: DDG has confidently and charismatically blazed his own trail through hip-hop and business. Hailing from Pontiac, Mich., the high school valedictorian asserted himself as a multi-platinum artist and trendsetting entrepreneur with his debut project, aptly named Valedictorian, which yielded his first gold hit, “Arguments.” In 2020, DDG broke through with “Moonwalking in Calabasas,” his now two-times platinum single. Following 2021’s Die 4 Respect with OG Parker, he landed on XXL’s prestigious Freshman Class. With his latest offerings, It’s Not Me It’s You and Maybe It’s Me..., DDG proves to be an exciting rising star in hip-hop.
