D-Eazy strives to update the Gangsta Rap genre with honesty, confidence & a strong dose of faith. His unique brand of hip-hop doesn’t disguise danger or pain with slick, empty rhymes, but there's hope to be found along with heartache in his lyrics. Whatever the mood or message, D-Eazy delivers the word straight, with style, swagger, and no apologies. Combining old-school rap with elements of R&B and even alternative rock (think Korn, Rage Against The Machine & Limp Bizkit), D-Eazys natural flow and razor-sharp rhyme sense tap into a lifetime’s worth of experiences. He keeps his point of view on street level: “A lot of rappers put down people who don’t make a lot of money or live the lifestyles they do. The message I’m trying to get across is that there are a lot of people struggling just to make it through one more day.” Born Desmond Robinson, D-Eazy grew up in Moreno Valley, California, and credits his third-grade teacher for encouraging him to embrace his talent for poetry. He has taken the time to learn his craft, perfect his rhymes and expand his circles to help him compete in hip-hop’s big leagues. Collaboration has always been central to D-Eazy in order to expand his perspective, musical vision and discursive awareness. Always aiming high but never forgetting his early days on the street, D-Eazy’s music is a portrait of life as he’s lived it: sometimes brutal, often beautiful, but always guided by inspiration.
