"Try Me" has peaked at number 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The track "Try Me", produced by DDS, was released as a single in July 2014 and rose to viral popularity after Canadian recording artist Drake quoted lyrics from the song in an Instagram post. She was later signed to his label IBGM (an acronym for I Been Gettin' Money). Dej released her debut mixtape, Just Do It, in 2012, which attracted the attention of fellow Detroit rapper Sayitainttone. Her stage name, Dej Loaf, is a portmanteau of a shortened version of her first name, "Deja", and "loafer", as she took a keen interest in Air Jordans growing up. She graduated from Southeastern High School in Detroit, MI in 2009, played basketball up to the junior varsity level, and later attended Saginaw Valley State University to study nursing for three semesters before deciding to focus on a full-time music career.
A self-described "good kid and a decent student" who mostly kept to herself, she began writing her own original music as early as nine years old.
Her father was killed when she was four years old. Growing up, she often listened to music with her parents and grandmother, ranging "from 2Pac to Rakim to Miles Davis." She was raised on the eastern area of Detroit, Michigan. Deja Trimble (born April 8, 1991), better known by her stage name Dej Loaf (stylized as DeJ Loaf), is an American rapper and singer, originally born in Warren, Michigan.
