Exclusive Interview With Hit Artist 2Dee
Born in Haiti and rising from New Jersey, the rapper 2Dee has a new hit release titled “Love Again.” The track perfectly conveys his demeanour and abilities as an artist, pushing his fame even further. With so many hits, we took this opportunity to chat with the talented artist about his new and upcoming projects.
Congratulations on your new single “Love Again,” Can you tell us what drove you to create it?
At the time that I wrote and produced it, I had reached a point in my life where I felt that no woman could understand nor be willing to be patient with my hustle, as It takes a lot of my time. The same reasons that they were interested in me in the beginning (my ambition, my drive, my visions, and passion), would be the same reasons later that there would be an issue. Also, I dealt with alot of fake friends and betrayal from them. So, I said f*ck love and all the time I’ve wasted on it. It’s time to focus on me and my goals/family.
What is your ultimate aim as an artist?
To inspire and motivate anyone that hears my music. Also, to help guide because most of my music is usually about something that I wish someone would have taught me instead of having to have learned it the way I did. Which was usually the hard way.
Can you drop a few names that have inspired you to become the artist you are today?
Aw man, I love a lot of types of music, so the inspiration comes from almost anyone that gave me the vibe I needed for that moment in my life, even if it was an old song from before my time. From Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, to Nas, Jayz, J cole, Dipset, or even White lion and Jonny Cash. The list is endless.
Should we expect any upcoming releases from you soon?
Of course! I have some major releases with some of the top artists out now. I won’t mess up the surprises though. Just keep riding with me and you’ll see 💪🏿😤🤞🏿
Can you tell what single was the most fun to create and why?
I would say “We Outside”. Because it allowed me to have fun lyrically as well as get a chance to work with Jadakiss, who is one of my all time fav artists.
Why do you think “Love Again” became such a hit?
I think a lot of people relate to it. We have all had or will have that “f*ck love” moment in life, whether we care to admit it or not.
What is an “unusual” thing that you do that gets your creative juices flowing?
I wouldn’t say it’s unusual, but at times, I do like to listen to other artists that inspire me and try to recreate their vision in my eyes to be better.
Are you preparing anything new nowadays?
Yes, I am preparing a lot of new music as well as building a new team to blow everyone away when the time comes! Our names won’t be forgotten. Trust me!

Artist Spotlight
HeIsTheArtist Opens Up about New EP, Faith and more!
Can you tell us a little about your musical background and how you got started in the industry?
Growing up, I was always in some type of choir and band. I didn’t take music seriously, however, until I was an adult, when a music producer from my hometown discovered me online singing covers for fun on my Instagram page. He loved what he heard and invited me to his studio to record a single (now titled “Honey”). The rest is history.
Your new EP, “Dreaming In Emerald City (Wicked Deluxe Edition),” is a tribute to two iconic films. What inspired you to create this project?
In recent years, musical movies have grown in popularity. That alone inspired me to create this project, which mixed the essence of my favorite two musical movies with R&B.
How do you infuse elements of Broadway and neo-soul into your music?
I was deliberate with the nostalgic instrumentation to give an old-school Broadway sound. I mixed in the Neo-Soul element with my soulful vocal delivery.
The theme of empathy and self-love is prominent in this EP. Can you speak more on the messages you hope to convey through your music?
This EP is about self-discovery (which is the theme of “The Wizard of Oz” as well). The EP takes you on a journey, from love of others to self-love. By the end of the EP, I hope listeners have a little more love to give in their hearts.
Your cover of Minnie Riperton’s “Lovin’ You” has gained a lot of attention. What made you choose this song and how did you put your own spin on it?
I chose “Lovin’ You” because it’s the epitome of earthy love songs. I put a spin on it by just being myself while still honoring the original.
The EP also includes a remix of your original song “Mi Amor.” Can you talk about the inspiration behind this song and its remixes?
The song itself was inspired by “The West Side Story” (which is why the lyrics are mostly in Spanish). The song is about falling in love in a world that often times breaks lovers apart.
The retro remixes were inspired by the 1989 musical movie “Teen Witch” where the main character had trouble finding love until she realized she always had the power to find love, she just had to find love within herself.
Your music has reached international success, particularly in the UK. How does it feel to have such a wide audience for your music?
It feels great that my music is reaching larger audiences. It shows that my God-fearing music is being embraced in a world that can be so heartless at times.
You have been described as a Christian R&B artist. Can you tell us about the role of faith in your music?
God is everything in my music. God is love, which is why every song I sing is about love.
Can fans expect any live performances or tours in support of this EP?
Yes, towards the summer, I will be doing various live performances. Stay posted to my social media for performance dates!
What can we expect from HeIsTheArtist in the future? Any upcoming projects or collaborations to look out for?
On May 10th I will be releasing a cover of “(At Your Best) You Are Love” by The Isley Brothers paired with a cinematic music video. I call this project “Dreaming In Emerald City 1.5” because it expands on the concepts that my EP “Dreaming In Emerald City” touched on.
