Derez De'Shon quietly rose to underground urban artist stardom with the massive success of his debut Billboard hit "Hardaway" from the 2018 album Pain, featuring notable remixes with 2 Chainz, DJ Envy, and Yo Gotti. His influence has resonated with a new generation of artists like Lil Tjay, Rod Wave, and A Boogie, earning him the title of the Godfather of the Pain-Rap movement. De'Shon's subsequent albums Pain 2 & Pain 3 continued his chart-topping success, boasting collaborations with industry heavyweights like Lil Baby, Russ, and Lil Durk, while being produced by London On Da Track and Southside.

Under a distribution deal with Venice Innovation Labs owned by music mogul Troy Carter, Derez De'Shon has kept his momentum going with the release of four new singles in 2021, including “In My Feelings” and “Residue” featuring Money Mu. These tracks set the stage for his upcoming project "Bigger than me," scheduled to drop on November 4th, 2022.
