Deric

Known for his catchy flows, angelic vocals, and passionate lyrics, Deric, an 22-year-old rapper, singer-songwriter from Atlanta, GA is already solidifying his spot in the underground in less than two years of releasing music. Often compared to breakout stars like Lil Tecca, SSGKobe, and Pasto Flocco , Deric started rapping at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic on “pluggnb”-style beats, which were recently popularized by artists like Summrs, Kankan , and Autumn!. Despite only being out for 2 months, his 2021 explosive single and viral sensation, “Go Anthem”, has almost 2 million plays across platforms, with the music video approaching 40,000 views. Deric’s style is partially inspired by the wide variety of artists he grew up listening to, including Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, and Drake. Releasing his first all-platform single, Last Summer, in August 2020, Deric succeeded in building a devoted fanbase without having released a debut album. With the quality and consistency of his work up to this point, his debut project is highly anticipated and 2022 promises to be the year where we all “envy” Deric.
