As Internet connection got better and better, more and more people started to watch video online on popular platforms one of which was YouTube. That’s where DDG career has started with a launch in 2011 of his gaming channel called GamingWithDDG and his vlogging channel ‘PontiacMadeDDG VLOGS‘ in 2014. At a time he was a student of Central Michigan University but in 2016 he dropped out of it, since he was already making over 30 000 USD per month by making gaming and vlogging videos.

In the same year he released his first songs ‘Free Parties’ and Balenciagas’. But the first real success came with a release of track ‘Lettuce’ made in cooperation with Famous Dex. It got 500 thousand views in just one hour and it instantly brought necessary attention from rap and hip-hop community which resulted in a contract with WorldstarHipHop that got exclusive rights for distribution of the video.

After releasing a few more songs he got his first major deal with Epic Records in June 2018. This was the time when DDG started slowly abandoning his YouTube career and focusing purely on writing and releasing new songs. His second most viewed song ‘Arguments’ was released the same month:

Years 2018-2019 were exceptionally good in DDG’s rapping career. He got his first million at a time, was in a relationship and his childhood dream started becoming a reality. One of the most famous song of the time was ‘Hold Up’ made in a collaboration with Queen Naija. Old fans were supportive as well, chanting ‘Where’s my DDG squad at?’ bringing even more attention to the your rapper.

Another boost to his career was release of ‘Moonwalking in Calabasas Remix’ featuring Blueface (DDG definitely should do more of these, it’s very super effective!) which is the highest-watched video of all on his YouTube channel and first song to enter Billboard Top 100. This, combined with promoting his songs over Spotify (over 5 million listeners monthly) and Instagram (over 4 million followers) brought him additional 3 millions as well as fame and glory.
