D-E-i (pronounced "Dee") stands for "driven every inch". This sums up how this artist approaches his music and life alike. His lyrics are meant to "edutain" (entertain and educate at the same time...I believe KRS coined the term). His persona embodies that of intellect and creativity all while staying true to the message. By combining witty hooks, original wordplay/songwriting, and crafty instrumentation DEi has put his own stamp on hip hop. And his passion can be felt on every song. Following in the footsteps of those who laid down the blueprint before him, DEi stays true to his craft by expressing his views on a wide variety of subjects including politics, personal struggles, and societal ills of the day. Stay posted for his debut mixtape/album titled, "Tune N2 My Frequency" due SUMMER 2010!!!

In My Own Lane
In My Own Lane Track number: 6 Year: 2010 Album: Tune N2 My Frequency Genre: Other
This is a track that is about originality. "I'm in my own lane, think I see my exit...", all that means is that I see the creative road that I'm destined to take so I'm going to take it. Comments are encouraged.

We Roam
We Roam Track number: 7 Year: 2010 Album: Tune N2 My Frequency Genre: Other
This track is just about the nomadic aspects of life. "Sometimes we don't know which way to go, so we roam, roam, roam, and roam...", life is a journey full of discovery. Comments are encouraged.
