Dej Loaf var en av 2014 års största utropstecken på den amerikanska hiphopscenen och efter att ha släppt “Try Me Remix” med Jeezy och T.I tidigare i vinter väntar fler samarbeten inför debutalbumet som troligen släpps mot slutet av året. I en intervju med XXL berättar hon om arbetet med plattan och att eventuella gäster kan komma att vara Meek Mill, DMX och Swizz Beatz:

“I’m going to just take my time with it, I don’t want to put out just anything. I want to make sure it’s perfect. They’re already giving me hell about this and that. I’m just going to take my time with it. I’m not rushing it. If I feel confident enough next month and I got a good album, then, ‘Yeah, okay, we got it.’ I’m not going to rush it; I’m not going to take too long. I’ve got enough songs to be like, ‘Here’s an album.’ But everybody does that, that’s why their albums be… I’m just going to take my time with the album… I don’t [have a title yet]. I have a couple names but I’m just going to let it flow. I’m going to do the music and then [go with] whatever feeling I come up with.”

Med rötterna i Detroit fick Dej Loaf möjlighet att medverka på en av förra årets mest uppmärksammade låtar, “Detroit vs Everybody” från Eminem-samlingen “Shady XV”. Dej berättar hur hennes medverkan på skivan blev verklighet – och att hon ännu inte träffat Slim Shady personligen:

“I didn’t get to meet him yet but the record was crazy. Royce Da 5’9 reached out for us to come to the studio and we went to the studio. He played the record and he was tellin’ me who he wanted on it. He was tellin’ me Big Sean, Danny Brown and just everybody who was on there. He was like, ‘You’ve got to get on it, too.’ You never know what’s going to get on what when you do records with people. Sometimes they never come out and you’ll be like, ‘What happened to that song we did?’ I didn’t know it was going to be on the album. He mentioned it but like I said, you never know. But when the tracklist came out and the track made the album, I was getting so many shout outs. I appreciate him for giving me that opportunity.”
