Dee-1 is Real, Righteous, and definitely Relevant. I enjoyed talking with the LSU about hisviral hit “Sallie Mae Back” which you hear in the opening of the podcast and he discusses quitting his job as a middle school teacher to rapping full time which has since taken off!
Dee-1 also known as David talks about the man you see on stage is the same man he is off of it and you have to respect how pure that is. He also talks about turning down a record deal provided by Cash Money/Young Money Records because his message was so different (he does not curse in his music).
