BIO

DTK, also known as Drizz Thee Kid, embodies a raw fusion of grit, vulnerability, and defiance.

Her music is driven by dark, layered vocals and hard-hitting beats, weaving stories of cars, fashion, late nights, and the thrill of living fast.

Refusing to follow formulas, she creates her own lane—rapping with raw energy and a rockstar edge that makes every track feel like an anthem. 

Born in Toledo, Ohio AKA “The Glass City”—nicknamed because of their signature industry—DTK grew up in a small town but always had ambitions that were larger than life. At home, she was surrounded by music. Her father’s playlists were eclectic and stretched from the upper echelon of Pop with Michael Jackson and Prince, to R&B royalty with Keith Sweat, Sade, and Marvin Gaye to hip-hop Kings such as Gucci Mane, Jay-Z, and Notorious B.I.G. Her Dad even put her on to rock legends KISS, and Nirvana. She was still very young when she came across more of who turned out to be some of her favorites, the OVO/XO wave—PARTYNEXTDOOR, Drake, and The Weeknd—and her sound and style were already rooted in a wide mix. By age 10, she was already writing her own music, but it wasn’t until moving to Atlanta at 14 that she began recording and shaping her craft.

“That’s when I really found my voice and started recording. That’s when I became ‘DTK’,” she recalls. 

After taking a break from music for a couple of years, the fiery newcomer’s passion was reignited, and she soon found herself under the wing of legendary music executive Russell "Block" Spencer. Block rose to prominence in the 2000s as a music executive helping to break artists for various companies, then he formed his own groundbreaking label, Block Entertainment which boasted a myriad of platinum and gold releases. 

"DTK reminds me of greats I've worked with and helped cultivate-like Jeezy, Yung Joc, and even Ciara-in the sense that she's raw, has a very unique sound and style, and I see her being a trendsetter that fans will gravitate towards and follow," says Block. 

For the versatile upstart, it’s simple. “It’s not about perfection,” she grins. “I’m just making music that feels good, and if you catch the vibe—you’ll come on the journey with me.” 

Her artistry thrives in the tension between light and dark, fun and chaos. The lead cut from her yet to be titled EP is the radioactive “Hey Now.” The hook samples from the 1964 classic “Iko Iko” by The Dixie Cup which was inspired by the battle cry of Native Americans as they went into battle. DTK boldly proves she is ready for any lyrical combat on the song as she fires off blistering bars over a buoyant party beat layered with precision cut punchlines, bold declarations and empowering affirmations for fellow boss chicks.  

“NOT SAFE” embodies her toxic lover energy—magnetic, dangerous, and irresistible. “Sprinter” gives listeners a glorious glimpse of what it's like to ride with DTK and her crew on a wild night. 

“I like rapping about putting that shit on, moving around the city in my favorite cars, having fun with my friends, and beautiful girls… the things that make life exciting,” she laughs. 

Now, with even more music on the way, she promises her entrance into the music game will continue to be bold and declarative. 

“I’m making rebellious records for the misfits and free spirits who want to have a good time and refuse to play it safe,” she says.
