Multi-platinum rap star DDG stamps the summer today with his first official release of the season, “copy my drip.” Produced by rising rapper and producer Cash Cobain, the single arrives alongside a LewisYouNasty-directed (Wiz Khalifa, Gunna) music video.
DDG’s career has progressed rapidly over the course of the last several years, and “copy my drip” encapsulates that mood. At the record’s onset, DDG is his charismatic, quick-witted self, daring doubters to underestimate everything from his touring to his fashion sense, jubilantly rap-squatting and dancing through the snow in his new video. Amid DDG’s bravado, personal anecdotes are plentiful. “I just had a son, and the sh*t just so damn fun,” he posits. Elsewhere: “I got a partner not no f*cking baby mama / They ask me when we gon’ get married, when we wanna.” All in all, the rapper, who, “just went Gold, like a bottle of Ace of Spades,” is having a blast.
It’s easy to see why DDG is feeling celebratory – he received his fourth career RIAA Gold certification this year, for his 2023 viral single, “I’m Geekin”—following the now-Double Platinum “Moonwalking In Calabasas” and Gold “Arguments” and “Hood Melody.” “I’m Geekin” is featured on DDG’s 2023 project Maybe It’s Me, which helped to push DDG’s cumulative mark of over 1.5 billion career streams. Apropos, Maybe It’s Me built off the momentum of 2022’s album, It’s Not You It’s Me, DDG’s most successful release to date. The two albums, which are nearing a billion streams combined, have established DDG as a true force to be reckoned with as a solo artist, and confidently raised his ceiling as a mainstream star. He previously appeared on XXL’s prestigious Freshman Class cover and topped Forbes “30 Under 30” list as one of the culture’s brightest future minds. As Complex put it, “In any situation he’s in, DDG has proven that he’ll shine regardless.”
Get ready for more DDG, coming soon.

Artist Biography:
DDG’s story remains a rarity for rap. The high school valedictorian turned himself into a self-made multi-millionaire by hustling on YouTube as he simultaneously rapped his way to the forefront of hip-hop. However, he consistently shakes up the status quo with unpredictable and undeniable bangers. After 2018’s Take Me Serious, he rose to the top of the hip-hop class on VALEDICTORIAN. Within just a year, the single “ARGUMENTS” scored his first gold certification. Igniting 2020, he achieved a major breakthrough with “Moonwalking In Calabasas (Remix)” [feat. BLUEFACE], earning a ubiquitous hit and his second gold plaque in the process. In the aftermath, he appeared in features by the likes of Esquire and more, while Lyrical Lemonade professed him to be a “Rap Star in the Making.” Generating over half-a-billion total streams and views and building a rabid fan base, DDG’s influence proves downright inescapable. His story has only just begun to get really interesting.
