DRAM

Shelley Marshaun Massenburg-Smith, known professionally as DRAM (which stands for Does Real Ass Music), is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter hailing from Hampton, Virginia. He first burst onto the music scene with his hit single "Cha Cha" in 2014, which led to viral success and recognition within the hip-hop community. DRAM's unique blend of hip-hop, soul, and funk, alongside his jovial and charismatic persona, has set him apart in the music industry.

DRAM's career skyrocketed further with the release of his double-platinum single "Broccoli," a collaboration with rapper Lil Yachty, in 2016. This track showcased his ability to create catchy, feel-good music that resonates with a wide audience, and it also earned him several award nominations, including a Grammy nod for Best Rap/Sung Performance. Continuing to build on his eclectic and colorful music catalog, DRAM has since released a series of projects that reflect his versatility and artistic growth. His recent releases, such as "Summer Nights," "Deposit," and "BONUS FANTASY," exemplify his evolution as an artist, blending introspective lyrics with his signature soul-infused sound. "What Had Happened Was…" and its subsequent deluxe edition, live recordings, and singles like "PPL" and "I WANT YOU BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW..." further add layers to DRAM’s rich and expressive discography, solidifying his place as a creative force in contemporary music.
