DDG: The new 'Maybe It's Me...' album is officially streaming everywhere

Just keeping it 100? DDG always delivers when it comes to this music biz grind. The hip-hop superstar comes through with the much-needed Maybe It’s Me… studio album and it slaps from start to finish.

DDG’s new ‘Maybe It’s Me…’ album has finally arrived

Whether you’re stuck on the ‘Famous’ leadoff track or find yourself zoning out toward the middle of the project, DDG keeps you tapped in on every anthem from the 12-song album.

Today, breakout multi-platinum Pontiac, MI rapper DDG shares his new project, Maybe It’s Me… The twelve-track rumination on relationship dynamics and the star’s inner psyche features viral hit “I’m Geekin,” plus remixes featuring Luh Tyler, NLE CHoppa, and BIA, and previously shared tracks “Trynna Link” and “This Summer.”

Along with the project, today DDG shared the official music video for the track “Famous.” Earlier this week, DDG set excitement for the project to a fever pitch with an official trailer, featuring his nephew and social media star, Woo Wop, cleverly encapsulating the themes of the new music.

Maybe It’s Me… picks up where he left off on his fan favorite and critically acclaimed album, It’s Not Me It’s You. On the new project, DDG continues to assert himself as an innovator, storyteller, and hitmaker with a collection of undeniable bangers. Lead single “I’m Geekin” has been well on its way to taking over the summer since release. After trending Top 10 on TikTok Music’s US Top Tracks Chart for weeks, the song has received over 2 billion short-form video views, and the song itself has been streamed over 52 million times thus far across DSPs. Earlier this week, he broke down the meaning of “I’m Geekin” on Genius. Watch the “I’m Geekin” Verified HERE. The song has also received praise, with critical acclaim from XXL, BET, Uproxx, Hot New Hip Hop, Hip Hop DX, REVOLT, and more, with VIBE proclaiming “DDG is cool, calm, and collected despite his new track being titled ‘I’m Geekin’ and the duality is real. If this is geekin’, perhaps everyone out to follow suit to how DDG is living.”

Released in the fall of 2022, It’s Not Me It’s You offered DDG’s most personal reflection to-date and brought the budding superstar to a whole new level. Featuring collaborations like “9 Lives” ft. Polo G and NLE Choppa, “Bulletproof Maybach” ft. Offset, “Love Myself” ft. Kevin Gates, and the hit “Elon Musk” ft Gunna, the project received critical acclaim, with Billboard commenting “the Michigan rapper reflects on his journey to stardom, giving an intimate look into his family life and the struggles that ultimately turned into his present-day success,” while Rap Radar stated, “from exploring the highs and lows of love to embracing his newfound success, the rapper and singer stunts effortlessly.” Uproxx proclaimed it one of the week’s “biggest rap releases” last fall, and VIBE called it his “breakthrough.” Along the way, he received support across the board from GQ to Harper’s BAZAAR, Esquire, People, XXL, ESSENCE, The Breakfast Club, Hot New Hip Hop, and more, and was named to Forbes coveted 30 Under 30. 

Now, with Maybe It’s Me…’s arrival, DDG is continuing to cement his status as a forward-looking culture shifter.

Still keeping tabs on DDG? Need to know how much he’s put in work, work, work for the past few years? Say less.

Rather than stick to the script, compromise, or follow, DDG has confidently and charismatically blazed his own trail through hip-hop and business.  Hailing from Pontiac, MI, he has quietly asserted himself as a multiplatinum music artist, and trendsetting entrepreneur. Since 2016, he has vaulted to the upper echelon of the culture, adorning top publications, picking up plaques, and eclipsing 1 billion streams. After a series of independent singles, he initially graduated from buzzing force to rap star on his 2019 debut, Valedictorian, which boasted the gold-certified banger “ARGUMENTS.” However, he reached the stratosphere in 2020 with the inescapable “Moonwalking in Calabasas (Remix)” [feat. Blueface]. It marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum.

Along the way, he collaborated with everyone from YoungBoy NBA and Queen Naija to Coi Leray, Masked Wolf, G-Eazy, and G Herbo. Following his 2021 project Die 4 Respect with OG Parker, fans overwhelmingly voted him on to XXL’s prestigious “Freshman Class” cover, and he landed on the covers of KAZI Magazine, PREME, and UPROXX. In 2022, DDG blasted off to another level altogether with his album It’s Not Me It’s You, which saw him collaborate with the likes of Gunna, Quavo, Kevin Gates, Polo G, and NLE Choppa, and closed out the year by being named to Forbes’ annual “30 Under 30” list for 2023. As he readies his newest project for this summer, DDG continues to prove that he is one of the most exciting rising stars in hip hop and cultural at large.
