“You have to have some sort of personality coming out to this city,” he says. “You cant be bland coming out Atlanta. Purists can hate on rappers like Young Thug all they want, but him and his flow stand out. That’s what I’m going to do myself, standout.”

Just like the legendary filmmaker he shares a last name with, Deante’s flow keeps listeners ears on edge as they try to figure out what direction he’s going to go in next. While first listens may remind you of J. Cole, more listens will show that Deante Hitchcock warming up to tell his own sideline stories.
