Detroit’s Dej Loaf recently talked about her status in the rap game and why fans should expect her to keep grinding until she’s one of the greatest hip-hop artists.

Despite putting out a few hit records, Loaf said her real inspiration is leaving an imprint in the music biz.

“I’m Dej Loaf, I’m here to stay. You’ll be seeing me more,” Dej said in an interview with entertainment personality Nardwuar. “I care about music, I care about making a difference. I really love this sh*t. I want it forever. You should care because I care. A lot of people are in it for different reasons. I’m in it to make it better and to be [great] – make hip-hop better and stamp my name in the game as one of the greats, that’s why they should care.” (“Nardwuar”)

Loaf won fans over after performing at New York radio station Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam concert this summer.

Dej recently dished on rapper Lil Wayne speaking up for the guys by remixing her “U, Me & Hennessy” song.

“It’s really like a personal song. Some songs don’t need to be touched sometimes, and if it was going to be touched, I wanted it to be great,” she says. “So he did a great job – I was going crazy. I was like, ‘Wow, he really did it. This crazy.’ I knew he was going to do it just the way he did it.” (XXL Mag)

Loaf appeared on “The Tonight Show” last fall to perform her “Try Me” hit.

Dej Loaf made her late night debut yesterday (Nov. 24) on The Tonight Show with a little help from The Roots. The first timer wasn’t nervous to be on and looked comfortable on stage, making it clear this was her show. Dressed in a wrap-around sweater and a pair of glitter slip-on sneakers, the Detroit rapper showed us exactly why Drake is such a fan. (CBS Local)
