<p style="text-align: justify;">New Orleans-based <strong><a href="http://www.twitter.com/dee1music" target="_blank">Dee-1</a></strong> is a rapper fast on the rise and one that I kept bumpin' into while in Austin for SXSW. We met him for the first time after a series of posts got the talented emcee on our radar. Real humble cat who I saw makin' moves with Nas and DJ Premier at the conference with Steve Stoute I attended. Of course, Dee-1 also performed across many showcases throughout the week as documented in their recap video above. More co-signs galore so be sure to get up on Dee-1 asap and stay ahead of the curve.</P>
