Dapp Deh Youngin’s music, a unique blend of hip-hop and Caribbean influences, is more than just beats and rhymes—it’s a tribute to the love that shaped him. Growing up in Saint Thomas, United States Virgin Islands, Dapp was surrounded by his late mother’s passion for music. She filled their home with the soulful sounds of her favorite artists, unknowingly planting the seeds for her son’s future career. Now, her influence lives on in every lyric and melody Dapp creates. His latest mixtape, Back On Da Block, released October 28, 2024, via 15 A Recordz, is a testament to his journey, struggles, and triumphs.
Hailing from the Contant Knolls projects, Dapp’s story is one of perseverance. Born at home and raised in an environment where challenges were the norm, he faced heartbreak at a young age when his mother passed away when he was just 12. But even in her absence, her love for music became his guiding light. First stepping into the spotlight in 2021 with his breakout track “TrapN RapN,” Dapp has built a reputation for consistently releasing music that speaks to his experiences and his community. His debut project, Back From The Dead, laid the groundwork for his rising stardom, and now, with Back On Da Block, he’s proving he’s here to stay.
The new mixtape is a 12-track journey through Dapp’s life and emotions, blending hard-hitting beats with introspective storytelling. Each song is a window into Dapp's soul, revealing the emotional depth of his experiences. Songs like “Fear None” stand as declarations of his resilience, with lyrics that challenge anyone daring to stand in his way: “We geh big big glocks mehn / We don’t fear none.” This anthem of confidence and determination embodies the spirit of someone who’s faced life’s toughest battles and emerged stronger. On the flip side, “Ghosting You” reveals a more vulnerable side, touching on the struggles of balancing relationships with the weight of his lifestyle.
“Changes” reflects Dapp’s evolution from a dreamer to someone who’s made it, confronting doubters and embracing success. The track carries the weight of his past while celebrating how far he’s come: “This for dem days hoes stunt on da kid / Now I get racks, it’s lumps on da kid.” The mixtape also takes an emotional turn with “Talk to You,” where Dapp mourns the loss of his protégé, Big Steelo. Through heartfelt lyrics, he paints a picture of grief and remembrance, honoring a life taken too soon.
Back On Da Block is a soundtrack of survival and self-expression. With a runtime of just over 32 minutes, it’s a compact yet powerful offering, showcasing Dapp’s ability to weave raw emotion into compelling storytelling.
