Who is Deante' Hitchcock?

Deante’ Hitchcock has been working towards everything he is today and continues to prove that his work is nowhere near done. In 2012 he released his debut mixtape, 19 Summers from there came a single on SoundCloud with the name Wishful Thinking in 2015. This combined with freestyle clips uploaded to social media platforms, Hitchcock was able to gain traction and earn credibility from surrounding; artists, radio personel and listeners. He has the ability to showcase adaptability throughout his albums and EPs. Hitchcock’s most recent album BETTER he provides his listens with a variation of lyrical (sending a message) and his soft side (sharing feelings) all while having upbeat tracks with infectious hooks and instrumentals.

On a more personal level: I was introduced to Deante’ Hitchcock in 2019 by a friend. I had asked for new artist to listen to and for me, Hitchcock sounded almost identical to my favortie artist, J. Cole, and from there I could not take my headphones off. I took myself through his entire discogrpahy and to say I enjoyed it would be an understatement. To the left is one of my personal favorties by Hitchcock from his first EP, So Much for Good Luck.
