Welcome to The DEY's Official YouTube Channel!

Check out the debut album from The DEY, The DEY Has Come, available 7/1!
Those who have survived the night's unforgiving darkness cherish basking in the light of dawn, in the warm promise of a new day. Every so often, in the world of music, an act emerges like a beacon of light, proudly proclaiming its uniqueness, its disinterest in the norm, and its potential for sparking a sonic revolution. In 2007, just like with The Fugees and the Black Eyed Peas, a new era in urban music will be ushered in thanks to a group fittingly known as The DEY. Composed of Divine, Élan, and Yeyo (DEY), the bilingual Latino trio fuses hip-hop, R&B, pop, and Afro-Latino influences for a unique, singing/rapping fusion-heavy sound that celebrates Latinos' rich cultural heritage while also inviting non-Latinos to share in the festivities. Their innovative Epic Records debut promises to unify English-only, Spanish-only, and bilingual Latinos, and to address the interests and concerns of today's generations of multicultural urbanites.

Now, The DEY is poised to revolutionize the Latin, pop, and urban markets with its eclectic debut, which features production by Timbaland, JR Rotem, Stargate, and more. The lead single, "Dame Un Momento," a sultry and clap-heavy bilingual club banger, showcases Divine's aggressive but playful lyricism, Yeyo's flirtatious Spanish rhymes, and Élan's soaring vocals, which speak to influences ranging from reggae to East Indian pop.

"¿Qué Vamos a Hacer?," meanwhile, zooms in on the conditions plaguing those in the 'hood. The mournful track addresses political corruption, the harrowing proliferation of violence, and the never-ending problem of racial profiling and, depicts how, as a result, people become hopeless over the governments' refusal to address these problems. "Bendecida Mi Nación," meanwhile, is an ode to our native lands in the tradition of Marc Anthony's adored "Preciosa" ballad. Each single in the album showcases a different aspect of the group, making them all the more relatable to audiences worldwide.

"We want to unify our communities," Divine says of The DEY's mission. "By being bilingual, we address all those people — the non-English speaker and the non-Spanish speaker — and we create a bridge between them, a space where they can all exist."

Here's to a new DEY.
