  Defiant DarÄ«us is a Baton Rouge-born, Houston-raised artist. Growing up, DarÄ«us was inspired by the likes of Tupac Shakur, Nasir Jones, Jermaine Cole, and Nipsey Hussle to speak on his life experiences throughout the black community.

 

Following the success of his second EP 2 Defiant, he has recently released his third EP titled Southern Hustler. 

 

He has been giving back to the community through charity events, cultural events, and other forms of creativity since the founding of Illustrate Records. As he would say, he wants others to “Illustrate through the Hate”.
