WHAT IT IS: With a gritty blend of West Side Detroit and Brooklyn in his upbringing, Amir Obè’s unfiltered and confident sound goes far beyond expectations. From secret recordings in his basement to features with OVO’s nest, Amir’s fresh and creative process has earned him a growing rep and following. With unique and memorable melodies, mixed with honest, emotional lyrics, Amir delivers a real, relatable experience. After dropping a handful of culturally successful mixtape projects, Detrooklyn was a huge moment for his burgeoning career, gaining the attention of Drake and OVO. Now calling Def Jam home, Amir is ready to establish himself as a national artist.
