416DEDE Releases Dre

Album art for Dre

It feels like it’s been forever since 416DEDE has given us a full album but we always patiently wait to hear it. He is constantly on the move doing events, pop ups and traveling just to get his name out there. You could say this was over due but it was basically perfect timing. He seems to have changed is idea of who his music is for and the message that he is trying to relay in his music. It always exciting to see an artist grow and that is exactly what we are getting from 416DEDE in Dre.

The album starts with a heavy hitter in Gift of Gab. I haven’t heard many songs like this that really catch my attention. He has everything that an intro should have. A melody that draws you in, vocals that are right in your face, and a bounce to keep you wanting more. This might become your favorite song and you haven’t even listened to track 2. Gift of Gab is how rap music was supposed to be for someone who is trying to make a name for themselves. DEDE speaks his mind and give you clear pictures into his world. We hope to hear something like this from big-name artists as an intro and we all know who they stole the idea from!

The album Dre was released on May 19, 2023. It was released and distributed by record label Damage Media Group. It contains 10 songs with one feature from Supa Hendo on track #2 “Back on the Road”. The album was mixed and mastered by Jackson Henderson.
