“The Hype Magazine interviews Datz Dem”

— Marie, The Hype Magazine

“We In Da Building by DATZ DEM is an absolute BANGER!!!”

— Antwon Hicks, Hip Hop Chronicles

“An example of Datz Dem's style I've chosen is the Gospel Rap 'WWJD' (What Would Jesus do).....it's Marvin Gaye meets Blackstreet.....the lyrics express their Christian faith and a condemnation of evil. “The devil is a lie, that’s why people be killing,” - “Robbing and stealing sometimes for no reason/Cutting down trees in the Garden of Eden/The Snake got you eatin’ forbidden fruit/So the question is for you/What would Jesus do.” ”

— Mike Lindley, Ralph's Life

“My favorite hip hop group!”

— Steven A. Smith, First Take

"WWJD" by DATZ DEM is a gospel hip hop classic!

— Chad Bradford, XXL Magazine

“A Slice of Hip Hop: “Wait for Me” by DATZ DEM “Wait for Me” by DATZ DEM requires a close listen to appreciate. When I first heard the sweet female chorus and the gentle chimes that open the song, I thought DATZ DEM had shared with me another love song like his lush production of “Get 2 You.” But then ILL Son’s voice kicks in. with a rap that reveals a man in torment over a girl who is with the wrong guy. “Fast track marter rail/on your way to excel,” he raps. “But you want to give it up/say that you feeling him/Wrong step your life is full of wages minimum/that’s your world when you live with a criminal.” And at the same time, I sense that the narrator isn’t so sure he’s the right choice, either (“I can’t keep putting you thu this hell”). What else tells me this song is not all sweetness and light? The fuzzy guitar line, which provides some extra sting to the rap. ”

— David Deal , VP of Marketing for icrossing

“Get 2 You” by DATZ DEM is sweet. The song evokes hip hop and urban contemporary (for some reason I thought of “Knockin’ Da Boots by H-Town when I first heard this song). When you listen to “Get 2 You,” you feel a sense of urgency for ILL Son to get the girl (”life is like sports with many short careers”), which suggests “Just Wanna Love You Tonight” by the Average White Band. You don’t know if ILL Son will succeed, and I like that. Here is what ILL Son told me about the song: “The inspiration for writing the song came from my real life experience — a life altering relationship that has brought forth not only the song but the basis of my entire project, ILLSONOMICS= THE STUDY OF WOMAN THRU A MUSICAL PERSPECTIVE. ILL Son is based in Atlanta. “Get 2 You” is in heavy rotation on Global 14 radio which is run by Jermaine Dupri. Follow ILL Son on Twitter @ill_son. ”
