Lil Deafo

**Lil Deafo** is a rising name in Russia’s underground rap scene, known for his moody, trap-infused sound and candid lyrics that dive into street life, personal struggles, and raw emotion. Emerging around the early 2020s, he carved a niche with tracks like "Gang Over Love" and "Drkshdw," blending gritty narratives with hazy, atmospheric beats that feel equal parts introspective and confrontational. His style often rides the line between melodic hooks and sharp, rapid-fire flows, showcasing versatility in projects like "Gorbeye Meshki" and collaborations with fellow Russian artists like SEEMEE. While keeping a relatively low profile, Lil Deafo’s DIY ethos and consistent drops—from dark bangers like "MDMA" to freestyle flexes like "Smart (Freestyle)"—have cemented him as a cult favorite in Eastern Europe’s hip-hop circles.
