The Northwest native born on Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood is catching listeners by surprise. The seamlessly smooth melodies, sometimes pessimistic message, matched with bass heavy trap 808s create the staple sound of DeZe and BLKTWR’s R&G (Rythm n Grunge) genre. Influenced by the region’s moody intellect, and rough environment, DeZe has found a way to paint the picture. “Here in the NW, we all know what it feels like to be stuck in the greys. That’s why me and Los created #KIGS...Keep It Going Strong.”
