42 Dugg

Detroit rapper 42 Dugg found his calling during an especially dark time in jail. While in solitary confinement, he began writing rhymes to keep his grip on sanity, and once free, was inspired to pursue music full-time. Within a few years, he signed with Yo Gotti's CMG label and brought his ruthless street style to a series of mixtapes including 2019's Young and Turnt and 2021's Free Dem Boyz. In 2022 he teamed up with Yo Gotti roster-mate EST Gee on the album Last Ones Left. He also appeared on the high-profile CMG compilation Gangsta Art and landed a one-off hit, "U-Digg," with Lil Baby and Veeze. In 2024, he released his first official full-length album, 4eva Us Neva Them. A native of Detroit's often-dangerous East Side, 42 Dugg found himself in trouble with the law early on in life. By age 15 he was serving a six-year jail sentence. He began rapping while incarcerated and took it more seriously when he was let out, releasing his first song, "Mama I'm Sorry," in January 2018. From there, the rapper quickly ascended, self-releasing several projects like the 11241 Wayburn mixtape. He collaborated with other Detroit rappers like Babyface Ray and the 42 Twinz on his early material, and soon caught the attention of national stars. Strong early singles like "The Streets" led to Yo Gotti signing 42 Dugg to his Collective Music Group label. A joint agreement allowed him to sign on with Lil Baby's label 4PF as well. Several singles surfaced before the release of 2019's Young and Turnt. The mixtape featured guest verses from fellow Detroit artist Tee Grizzley as well as known names like Blac Youngsta and Peewee Longway. Young & Turnt 2, an entirely freestyled mixtape, appeared in 2020 and debuted at number 70 on the Billboard 200. Collaborations with Marshmello ("Baggin'") and LBS Kee'vin ("Shining") followed, and in 2021 42 Dugg returned with his fourth mixtape, Free Dem Boyz, which featured Roddy Ricch on the hit "4 Da Gang." In April 2022, he collaborated with Kentucky rapper EST Gee on the Last Ones Left mixtape, which yielded a hit in "Thump Shit." Two months later, he teamed up with Lil Baby and Veeze on "U-Digg," which appeared on multiple charts and reached number 52 on the Billboard 100. He was also featured heavily on the CMG label compilation Gangsta Art, which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard 200 and included the hit "Steppers." A collaboration with Babyface Ray, "Ron Artest," arrived in February 2023. Several months later, the rapper was sentenced to a year in prison for failure to report for a previous 2022 sentence. Released in October 2023, 42 Dugg returned to the studio and in July 2024 delivered his full-length debut album, 4eva Us Neva Them, which showcased guest spots by Sexyy Red, Blac Youngsta, Lil Baby, Young Geezy, and EST Gee, the latter of whom was featured on the single "Since When."
