Fresh out after serving four years in juvenile detention, rising Staten Island drill artist Debo (@Debo2Oppyy) pulls no punches in this candid conversation about his journey, controversies, and future plans. With seven months of freedom under his belt, he's wasting no time reclaiming his spot in the local music scene.
Debo dismisses swirling rumors about incidents during his incarceration with a casual shrug, calling them just "jail work" while revealing how he beat an attempted murder charge through what he describes as a case of mistaken identity. His matter-of-fact approach to discussing serious subjects reveals a young artist who's been through the system and emerged with clear-eyed determination to move forward.
The conversation shifts between musical aspirations and street realities as Debo discusses his upcoming tracks "Every Opp Shot" and "Response, Part 1," alongside his selective approach to features. "I'm not a fan," he states bluntly, establishing his confidence in his own abilities while setting boundaries around collaboration. When pressed about relationships with other Staten Island gang members, Debo maintains clear distinctions: "We're not the same thing. They are a different unit." His respect remains reserved for a select group of peers including Marsha SB, CP, and Mouladi, while dismissing older generation artists from the borough.
Whether you're familiar with Staten Island's evolving drill scene or simply appreciate raw, unfiltered artist perspectives, this conversation offers a window into the mindset of a young creator navigating the complex intersection of music, street life, and personal growth.
