Duke Deuce is a Memphis rapper who deserves more respect from hip-hop listeners. The trap and crunk veteran has been going strong since the late 2010's decade. He has instituted, if not at least popularized the high-energy cuts we have gotten from this talented city. Just because he does not have the same notoriety as the newcomers do, he has certainly paved the way for some of your favorites of this era. It has been a little over a year since Deuce's last album. He came through with MEMPHIS MASSACRE III at the tail end of October.
Additionally, he dropped a project before that in the same year with CRUNKSTAR in June. This year, Duke has been landing some features in 2023 more so than his loosies. His last one came back in late August with "Gtd." Before that was "Woah" in the middle of August." Now, he has just made his return with "WASSUP."
Listen To "WASSUP" By Duke Deuce
The beat on this one is uniquely catered to Deuce. There is a funky looping horn-like synth woven throughout the trap beat. The hook is equally idiosyncratic too, with his trademark dialect. Anytime he drops, you can count on him to bring a lot of contagious energy. For now, this looks to be a loose single as well. But, hopefully, we get a new album soon.
