Formally known as Rishi Desikan, De$ is an alternative hip hop artist that was born in South Brunswick, New Jersey. He derives inspiration from artists such as Logic, Post Malone, Juice WRLD, Kid Cudi, and Travis Scott. Through his classical background in Indian/Classical music and Acapella experience, he aspires to paint pictures about his life and day-to-day decisions. For De$, it's not about blowing up to be famous or worshiped, but rather about resonating with people that need it. Following the release of his debut single "WORTH IT", De$ went on to release a 5 song EP called "Lockdown Love." The project garnered plenty of attention and has received praise from some top industry prospects. After moving to Massachusetts to pursue an education at Boston University, De$ released his first studio-album titled "Destiny & Destruction." Despite being his first crack at stardom, De$ generated enough attention from the album to help push a handful of singles such as Sunshine In The Rain, hold me, and his 5 song R&B Soul EP - Took a Trip to the End. Alongside childhood friends VSHNU, Sinco, and producer Minute Made, De$ formed the collective known as "Night Crawlers" honing in on psychedelic-rage elements that are not seen often in hip-hop. As of today, he has released the first volume Night Crawlers I: Dusk til Dawn but has been perfecting volume II for the past few months.
