Deetranada

Deetranada, an MC from Baltimore, delivers rapid-fire, hard-hitting rhymes paired with self-assured verses that uplift listeners. Diamond Barmer entered the world in 2001, later adopting a stage name that condenses the phrase “Dee transformed from nada.” At eleven she already understood the depth of her gift and the drive to pursue rap, then at thirteen she started uploading freestyles to YouTube. Jermaine Dupri took notice and placed her on the third season of the Lifetime series The Rap Game, which premiered in 2017; she ultimately placed second, an outcome that quickly broadened her audience. She later appeared on cuts by Mani and Tate Kobang while maintaining a consistent output of singles that culminated in the 2017 mixtape Adolescence Swim.
