It has been several years since Derez De’Shon first captured the industry’s attention with his breakout hit “Hardaway,” yet his commitment to authentic storytelling remains as potent as ever. With the release of his latest album, I’m Not Ok But…, the Atlanta MC continues his deep exploration of “pain music,” offering a raw reflection on the hardships and relentless determination required to navigate the music industry.
The 14-track project serves as a testament to his artistic consistency. Throughout the record, Derez De’Shon enlists a diverse roster of collaborators to help flesh out his vision, including Morray, T-Rell, Sy Ari Da Kid, BHM Pezzy, and Luh Dj. The production choices lean heavily into atmospheric, soft-key melodies and haunting chords, creating a sonic landscape that perfectly complements his narratives of struggle and resilience.
