The sleuths over at HHNM cracked yet another case tonight, as they’ve pieced together, via HDD, that Detroit newcomer Dej Loaf has recently inked a deal with major label powerhouse, Columbia. Dej, who arguably has the hottest new rap song in the country with “Try Me,” has been courted by majors for the past few months, and it appears Columbia was able to secure the budding star. They’ve even begun servicing “Try Me” to radio. That’s 0-100, real quick.
A big congrats to Dej, and much success with the new move.
Columbia’s Ayelet and James have Beyoncé’s “Flawless” at #14, Calvin Harris f/John Newman’s “Blame” at #34 and T.I.’s “About the Money” at #37. And they just signed an artist named Dej Loaf; her single, “Try Me,” is #1 at Shazam in NYC, Philly and Wilmington, #4 in Baltimore and Top 5 in Detroit, Hartford, and Greensboro.
