For some, cruising the interstate on one’s lonesome is, well, lonesome. For others, like New Orleans emcee Dee-1, there’s no better company when one’s looking to decompress from the daily grind than the open road and some fresh tunes. On his latest mixtape leak, the Best of the Booth award-winner gives listeners a taste of the blissfully laid-back feeling he gets when he’s “Ridin’ all by Myself.” With Muhammed Ayers’ fittingly hypnotic, string-laced grooves pulsing in the background, Dee informs us just how committed he is to staying in his own lane – even if that means stopping at green lights and blazing through reds (don’t worry, though; he always wears his seatbelt). In a paradoxically fresh move, the headliner enlists two guests to share his solitude: Cali mainstay MURS enjoys a little “me time” in his breezy, pop-referential closing verse, and singer Syreeta Neal completes the picture with some luxurious hook and backup vocals. So, is this one going on your whip playlist? Then you’ll want to check back with us March 1, when the artist’s Booth-hosted I Hope They Hear Me (Vol. 2) street album arrives on our mixtape page.

I keep it short and sweet on Sunday evening...
Dee-1 is going to be a star. You could either wait for it to happen or help speed up the process.

I see huge potential with Dee1, this is one of his better efforts to date. His style and flow over the track is unmatchable. His ability to separate himself on a track will contribute to people remembering this name for a while.

DJ Z, I hope you are right. I just think maybe he needs more exposure. Hopefully the booth featuring his mixtape will help some. He definitely has a distinctive flow.

Really enjoying this one - definition of a smoothed out rider. Having the singer fill in Dee's lines could come off gimmicky, but it works so cleanly, and I'll always take a nice Murs verse. Dee continues to impress.

Dee-1 is about to get on. This guy is probably one of the most humble, talented artists coming up right now. HUGE fan of Dee-1.
