In an era where overnight fame and viral gimmicks often overshadow artistry, 2Dee is taking a
slower, more intentional route. Originally from Haiti and raised in Newark, New Jersey, the
rapper—born Dondy Vertil—isn’t chasing hype. He’s crafting a catalog, building a movement,
and letting the music speak for itself.
His journey began as part of Wyld Stylaz, a collective that linked him with heavyweights like
Mozzy, French Montana, and Troy Ave. But when circumstances—including legal
setbacks—disrupted the group’s momentum, 2Dee pivoted, leaning into solo work with a focus
on introspection and resilience.
Tracks like “Intentions” and “Without Y’all” (feat. Mozzy) showcase his ability to balance street
narratives with raw vulnerability. These aren’t algorithm-chasing hits; they’re deliberate, personal
records that resonate with listeners who crave substance. “I’m not just making music. I’m
building a lane meant to take me to my destination,” he says. “I feel like I’m adding to hip-hop’s
evolution by making it my own.” His latest drop, “Flick” (Remix feat. Memo600), expands his
reach into drill circles while staying true to his core—proof that he’s slowly but strategically
widening his lane.
Behind the scenes, 2Dee is a self-sufficient force. He produces, mixes, and even plays piano
and guitar, often working alongside his brother and collaborator Xclusive. That DIY approach
has allowed him to maintain creative control, a rarity in an era where many artists rely heavily on
industry cosigns.
“I’m just focused on making music that feels like me,” he says. “I’m not chasing trends. I’m
building something I can stand on.” And while he may not dominate headlines, his steady output
has earned him a loyal following and quiet respect within hip-hop’s underground.
The mission? Simple. Shine bright. Live with no regrets. And go harder than ever.
“I got two tours on the table, and a couple surprise features coming real soon,” 2Dee teases.
“I’m not holding back anymore.”
With touring opportunities brewing and new collaborations in the works, 2Dee isn’t forcing a
breakthrough—he’s letting his work speak for itself.
In a landscape where many fade after a hot single, that patience might just be his biggest
advantage.
