After making noise this past summer with The EBRO Demo EP, Atlanta’s burgeoning new talent, DAEtrius delivers, “ShowOut,” his latest single that proves he can straight-up spit just as well as he can craft a radio-friendly hit.

And the numbers don’t lie. With limited promotion and warning, he dropped the smooth and beyond-catchy track via Soundcloud and quickly amassed over 12,000 streams in just a few days. The hype hasn’t gone unnoticed as the track was just added to Spotify’s ‘Most Necessary’ playlist, which has a dedicated subscription of over 800k followers.

And just as the 22-year-old spitter proved on The EBRO Demo, DAEtrius, alongside his ‘go to’ producer, EpikhPro are showcasing that the South have and will continue to create Hip-Hop with soul and substance. Although “ShowOut” may be guilty for “having too much flavor,” it’s got that richness to it that only cats like his heroes, including T.I. and Andre 3000, can bring to the booth. If this is what he has had brewing since dropping his EP, then who knows what we could expect next from the kid. ‘Til then, embrace the final breezy moments of summer and keep “ShowOut” on rotation.

“Show Out” can now be streamed right here, courtesy of RESPECT., and is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming outlets. And if you plan on being down in Atlanta for A3C, be sure to keep an eye out for DAE who’ll be performing for every day of the five day festival!

As proven in recent years by the likes of Raury and Childish Gambino, not all the hip-hop coming out of Atlanta is necessarily made for the clubs. There’s nothing wrong with that sound, of course, but Hip-Hop (like any genre) needs variety to sustain. And that’s just part of the reason why rising ATLien DAEtrius is so damn intriguing. There’s also the fact that the kid can rap his ass off.

At least, that much is apparent on his stellar The EBRO Demo EP, which he dropped as a response to Hot 97’s Ebro Darden’s proclamation that Atlanta rappers need to step their bars up. Clearly, the Georgia city has been a hotbed for hip-hop creativity over the years, but Darden argued that all we’ve recently heard from the A is a bunch of clones. The Ebro Demo proves exactly how wrong that sentiment is.

Armed with slick boom-bap instrumentals from Epikh Pro, the Olympicks, and NaScent, DAEtrius flexes his immense rapping chops throughout the project’s five tracks. That goes for the jazzier and introspective “Nobody Believes,” the more snarling “Lion’s Den” that opens the EP, and the soulful meditation of “Voice Memos.”

It’s on that final track where DAE mentions he has both a chip on his shoulder and a lump in his throat, two feelings any young creative can relate to. He may be ready to take over the world, but the kid’s still got some anxiety about it all. But hey, if he’s capable of churning out material like The Ebro Demo, it’s obviously working out alright for him.

While the EP is available for stream (and purchase) below, courtesy of RESPECT., be on the lookout for his upcoming full-length project, Percy Park, to drop later this year.
