Darren Waller & Westside Boogie: It's inspiration and big flexing going down in the 'Majoring In Minor' music video

While my New York Giants could use Darren Waller in the worst way this season, there’s no denying he’s going all-in with his music-making passion. How about teaming up with hip-hop artist Westside Boogie for their new ‘Majoring In Minor’ music video? Tough.

Waller and Boogie for the wins? Definitely. It’s all types of inspiration and glowing going down in the standout tune following a slew of EPs Darren has put out over the past few months.

Former NFL star and musician Darren Waller continues his prolific 2024 musical journey after his NFL retirement with his latest single, “Majoring In Minor,” featuring Shady Records artist and Compton MC Westside Boogie - Listen Here. The inspiring track explores themes of personal introspection, blending vulnerability and imperfections with a powerful message of growth and self-discovery.

Waller shares, “Getting Boogie for this record was really organic, thanks to a mutual connection from my high school basketball days. As an artist, he’s incredibly versatile and vulnerable, which made him a perfect fit for the record. We’ve both found success and joy in a lot of areas of our personal lives, but we’re still looking for the answers to our deepest questions.”

The new song follows Waller’s Internal Warfare: This Too Shall Pass EP, which dropped last month. Inspired by a year of significant transformation, the EP takes an in-depth look at personal and professional highs and lows he experienced. Earlier this year, Waller also released On Notice: Bag Talk EP, showcasing his artistic versatility and Mind Games: It’s All In Your Head EP, which was influenced by Waller’s decision to retire from the NFL and the importance of following your heart and living your best life over chasing material wealth.

On “All My Children,” Deante’s rap skills are showcased at their most potent, with his powerhouse lyricism on full display as he waxes poetic about his come up as an artist. 

The latest in a run of relationship-driven releases set to come from Deante’ this year, Callin’ All My Children follows the release of Deante’s single “Alone” and his Valentine’s Day-themed EP Everyday The 14th in February, which received critical acclaim.

While he’s been doing this for a relatively long time, it’s never any reason to overlook his accomplishments. Kick back and get familiar with Hitchcock’s grind.

Introspective. Talented. Lyricist. These are just a few words to describe Grammy-nominated Atlanta artist Deante’ Hitchcock.

With several impressive EPs under his lyrical belt (Good, So Much for Good Luck, Just A Sample, Just A Sample 2), in 2019, Deante’ secured a highly coveted spot on the Grammy-nominated J. Cole and Dreamville compilation album, Revenge Of The Dreamers III, which is currently RIAA-certified Platinum. He released his debut album BETTER on ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records in 2020, featuring the single “How TF” feat. 6LACK and collaborations with JID, Young Nudy, Miguel, and St. Beauty.
