Atlanta-based rapper Derez De'Shon Lenard writes highly introspective lyrics about relationships, hustling, and life struggles, delivered with an Auto-Tune-laced blend of singing and rapping. Originally known as D-Bo, he was a member of Dirt Gang and associated with Waka Flocka Flame's Brick Squad Monopoly crew, and frequently collaborated with Slim Dunkin. Following Dunkin's death in 2011, Lenard stopped rapping for a while. He briefly went by the name D Dash before eventually deciding to settle on Derez De'Shon.
