Queens-based rapper Deem Spencer delivers bracingly personal lyrics in a style that's understated and romantic. His lush instrumentals walk the line between lovelorn R&B and classic hip-hop, creating soft atmospheres to hold his uncommonly gentle approach to rap. Among Spencer's releases are the 2019 album Pretty Face, 2021 mixtape Deem's Tape, and varied 2023 full-length adultSW!M, on which his rhymes remained deeply considered whether laid atop raw bass drums, light hand percussion, or breezy soft rock backdrops.
