Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment in my Artist of the Week series.
This week’s artist came highly recommended to me by my brother SiahThyLegend, so without further ado I present to you: Deir Deval (pronounced- “Dare Devil”).
Deir is a young Christian Hip Hop artist hailing from Texas, having debuted in 2022 with the release of his first single “REVIVAL”, having released just 4 songs in 2023, Deir is gearing up for the release of his debut EP entitled BACKSTAGE PASSES which released on October 18, 2024.
Deir has been making a name for himself by performing at several Christian festivals including Outlandish Fest which he helps manage alongside his friend and fellow artist jeriah, located in Fort Worth TX, hosting 14 artists over two events, if you’re in the area you’re not gonna want to miss it.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as A$AP Rocky among others, Deir brings his own unique sound with catchy beats, hard hitting production, lyrics that point the listener back to God and a unique flow, Deir is an artist you don’t want to sleep on.
On BACKSTAGE PASSES Deir brings together a very solid and perfectly crafted project, consisting of six songs with only one single, “YA HURD”, this project is Deir at his best.
Presenting his listeners with a hard hitting Gospel message that’s not watered down, over six tracks, this is only the beginning for Deir, make sure to tap in with Deir when this EP drops this Friday, the 18th, this project will definitely be on rotation for me.
Deir had this to say about the project:
since i started performing i met all the features backstage before performing. and now they are all my friends and so i included them on the project to kinda bring that backstage experience to the project
And with that, this week’s segment is brought to a finish, if you’re rocking with Deir, make sure to drop him a follow here and make sure to stay tuned in for the next installment in my Artist of the Week series!
