Deshawn White is from Johnson City, Tennessee and needs no introduction at Devine Jamz Gospel Network. Brother Ray, the Host of Devine Jamz Gospel Network Podcast interviewed Rapper / Producer Deshawn White who back in the day joined Birdman and Lil Wayne with Cash Money Records on tours. After encountering “a God moment”, White discovered he had to make a change.

Deshawn White by far is one of Devine Jamz’s top performing recording artist we’ve worked with. We first had the pleasure to work with this young brother back in 2019 with his hit single “Power Trippin” on the EP “Power Trip”. The song charted multiple weeks. White would perform live at Creation Festival 2019 and was lined up with major artists to include Elevation Worship, Kari Job, Tenth Avenue North, Andy Mineo, Skillet, Crowder, Hillsong and many more iconic artists! It was the first time ever they filmed a full-length Hip-hop music video at the festival with Deshawn White as the backdrop for the live music video filming. The chemistry was such an amazing experience, Deshawn trusted us to promote the EP “The Trailer: Based On A True Story.” This is not a typical project. This is a chronicle of Deshawn’s life story. On it, the song “Burn” elevated to #1 on BDS Christian Hip Hop Chart. And just like DJ Khaled, he came back with another one! The continuation of the EP, a full album titled “Deshawn White: Based On A True Story.” And on it, you’ll hear hit after hit. Today, I want you to listen to the track “Baptize Me,” which is highly favored and received airplay!

    The Girl Who Doesn’t Like Me and I Don’t Know Why

    She has a name. But in my house, she’s referred to as The-girl-who-doesn’t-like-me-and-I-don’t- know-why. Do you have anyone in your life like that? In social situations, she steers clear of you and refuses to make eye contact. When trying to reach out, you draw back an emotional nub of rejection. You rack your brain trying to figure out what you did to make her dislike you but come up blank. Read more...
