New Orleans rapper, Dee-1, has long been compared to his fellow N.O. counterpart, Lil Wayne. For years it's been said that Dee-1 sounds like a conscious version of Weezy.

Dee-1 turns up the temperature on the dope boys in the streets encouraging them to get out the game and leave the streets behind. Check out the visual below:
