What My World Sounds Like: Dejion

February 6, 2008 | Filed Under Listen, Pay attention, Plain cool, Spotlight, What My World Sounds Like 

Ever the enthusiast, I can’t help but to share the goodness in my life (or at least I try).  The past few days, I have been listening to quite a treat.  If you act fast, you’ll be able to thank me for changing your musical trajectory if but for a while.

One of music’s most hidden treasures is trying to throw himself out of obscurity–but the conditions have to be right.   Unwilling to compromise himself or his work, musical extraordinaire Dejion has been inching his way towards mainstream attention for quite some time.  He’s worked with some of the biggest names in music and only remains unknown to you because of his refusal to be shafted by the pirates of the industry (not a reference to downloaders).

Ask any hooper and they’ll tell you that some of the best ball players play street ball.  In 1998, Kweli said that some of the best rappers were underground.  Perhaps all the world’s greatest treasures are hidden…until they’re discovered and unsurfaced.

Let me do my little part and unearth a piece of this trove…

Being–necessarily and understandably–ridiculously protective over his music, I can’t make any promises as to how long you’ll be able to hear any of it, but if you go to his MySpace page at www.myspace.com/DejionMusic, you’ll be transported to an eargasmic world of delicious harmonies, delectable arrangements, and spectacular production…among other things.  Take it for checking.

*Due to protective measures employed, I have no copies of the music to upload.  Therefore, you’ll have to visit the site referenced above.
