UPROXX Studios’ Sound Check is back with another fire episode! The weekly interview series revealing your favorite artist’s musical taste consists of high stakes 12-round episodes that feature a carefully curated playlist of impossible choices, unearthing some never-before-heard stories and creative influences. The show has previously hosted guests including Big Sean, Rico Nasty, The LOX, DaBaby and more. On Episode 6, host Jeremy Hecht sits down with Pontiac, Michigan rapper and streamer DDG.

DDG is a self proclaimed Lover Boy. Considering that, Jeremy presented him with two songs that feel like falling in love – “Bed Peace” by Jhené Aiko ft. Childish Gambino and “U My Everything” by Sexyy Redd ft. Drake. The 27 year-old chose the latter by stating, “Definitely Sexyy Red. That’s my vibe. Sexyy Red like Top 5 for me…Female Artists of all time. Cardi B is number 1, number two I would say is Latto, number 3, Glo Rilla, number 4…Sexyy Red, and number 5…Bhad Bhabie.

Later, Hecht forced DDG to choose between two current rap GOATs – “Back To The Moon” by Gunna from Furious 7 and “Constantly Hating ” by Young Thug ft Birdman. After consideration, DDG picked Gunna. He explained by saying, “Tough…I ain’t gon lie, I like the Gunna song a lil bit more. Gunna’s just one of my favorite artists right now. I like the lyrics, and the feel of the song…it feel real effortless. And I’ve been in the studio with Gunna so I’ve seen how he records. you can tell its just real organic and it’s just talent, you know.”

In the final round, Hecht flipped the script and turned the tables on himself by attempting to guess the track DDG says represents his entire life. Given two options—“Nobody Gets Me” by SZA and “Love” by Keyshia Cole—Hecht incorrectly guesses “Love”. When asked about his song selection, DDG answers, “Well I listened to her album when it first came out…and everybody was going crazy on ‘Snooze’, but I think they was sleeping on ‘Nobody Gets Me.’”
