DeShawn Timothy

Following the disbandment of the celebrated out hip-hop act Sgt. Sass, Philadelphia’s DeShawn Timothy (aka DT, D. Timmy) continues to advance with stylish rhymes and razor-sharp delivery, while putting a revitalizing stamp on rap music. DeShawn Timothy’s latest EP, #STAYINYALANE, lyrically clenches onto the fury felt from the group break-up but effortlessly lets go into a sea of playful reflection. Sharp word play is paired precisely with majestically crafted beats by production team God Ferrari. Records like “Frankly” and “Whisper” are sonically breathtaking. Undoubtedly, this is DeShawn Timothy’s best work to date.

“55”, the first solo single from DeShawn Timothy, hit the web on the first day of summer in 2012. Dewitt of Manhunt Daily blogged that, “55” has, “…a catchy-as-all-fuck chorus, paired with verses that mesh your standard braggadocio with lines about shutting down anti-gay haters and making out with Keith Haring.” Produced by Good Goose, the debut EP, Merge, was released in January 2013.”… Philadelphia City Paper stated that “…Timothy’s magnificent Merge and songs like “55” and “Werq” have all the earmarks of sashaying dance-floor ragers”. – (2014)
