From using music as a form of expression and getting lost in the songs that influenced his path, Dedrick has been perfecting his craft for a sling as he can remember.
Hailing from Austin, Texas, creativity runs through his veins as he's managed to use his musical and non-musical influences, such as Dave Chapelle, Eminem, Tupac, and Michael Jordan, as a blueprint for his artistry all while shaping his musicality in a way, custom to him.
His latest release, "Never Fall," kicks it all up a notch and truly showcases his knack for rhyming, combined with his admiration for precision and technicality, solidifying his dedication to the art of rap.

Ultimately he is doing everything he can but can't keep up with the outside pressures weighing in.
This masterpiece has a dynamic essence as Dedrick leaves the studio and goes to his most important role in life - at home as a father.
