TRACKLISTING AboutD3szn has always had to grind. The Watts, California-born rapper has made a name over the last few years distilling street tales and wise observations about life in his neighborhood into catchy, cathartic rap songs. D3 is a rising star, but he's had to work to get here — and to understand that getting here was even a possibility. TDE superstar (and fellow Watts native) Jay Rock was blowing up during D3’s childhood, which showed him that there was a world outside of the Nickerson Garden projects where he was born. That there was more to life than just getting by, than working dead-end jobs at discount department stores. His short stint trying to make it in retail pushed him to get to work as an artist and, soon, he looked toward rapping himself. Shortly after, D3 recorded the groovy, schoolyard stomp, “Jump Out,” which would become a neighborhood hit and eventually find its way to another Los Angeles-area superstar, YG, who quickly inked the young star to his 4HUNNID label. His new single, “Drip,” with E-40 and OhGeesy, features bouncing bass and 808 handclaps that come straight from the annals from L.A. rap. The track finds the young talent linking up with two of his state’s stars, himself a stylist deeply reflective of the Cali tradition. But D3szn — a consummate hard worker — is constantly pushing his sound, fighting to stay ahead of the curve and to tell his story in a way that feels uniquely his. “I like to be different,” he explains. “I don't ride nobody else's wave.”
