Hip-Hop & R&B Artist; Rapper, Singer & Songwriter Known for "Try Me"; Platinum-Certified Recording Artist
DeJ Loaf Biography
DeJ Loaf, born Deja Monét Trimble, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter recognized for blending melodic rap with contemporary R&B influences. Trimble began her music career in 2011, releasing the debut single "Just Do It" in 2012. Her stage name combines a shortened version of her first name, Deja, with "loafer," reflecting her interest in Air Jordans during her upbringing. Before pursuing music full-time, Trimble attended Saginaw Valley State University, studying nursing for three semesters.
Trimble gained national attention with the single "Try Me," which achieved viral popularity and peaked at number 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The track's momentum increased as fans in the Bay Area shared it online, and hip-hop artists E-40 and Drake amplified its reach through social media. The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Try Me" Gold. Following this breakthrough, Eminem featured Trimble on the collaborative track "Detroit vs. Everybody," and she signed with Columbia Records.
Trimble's profile in the hip-hop and R&B industry grew further when she was selected for the XXL magazine Freshman Class and opened for Nicki Minaj on the North American leg of "The Pinkprint Tour." Her single "Back Up," featuring Big Sean, received platinum certification and served as the lead single for her debut extended play, "...And See That's the Thing." The project entered the Billboard 200, supported by the success of its lead single.
Both "Try Me" and "Back Up," along with Trimble's guest appearance on Kid Ink's single "Be Real," reached the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. She has also contributed to tracks such as "Detroit vs. Everybody" with Eminem and Big Sean, and "Be Real" with Kid Ink. After leaving Columbia Records, Trimble independently released the album "Sell Sole II," featuring collaborations with Lil Uzi Vert, Rick Ross, and Gunna.
Trimble continued to release singles and later delivered the full-length album "End of Summer," which included collaborations with Kash Doll on "Ladies Leave Your Man at Home," "Miami Flow," and "Can You Take It" with Babyface Ray. Throughout her career, Trimble has established a distinctive presence in hip-hop and R&B, contributing to Detroit's reputation as a center for influential music artists.
