Though he’s still in the midst of breaking into the mainstream, Atlanta’s Deante Hitchcock has been quietly enjoying one hell of a year. In May, he dropped off his most recent album Better, which features guest appearances from J.I.D, Young Nudy, Miguel, and 6LACK. And he’s not finished either, having recently slid through with a brand new single “Déjà Vu,” featuring a guest appearance from Guapdad 4000. Both rappers are capable of switching up the style when the occasion calls for it, and the track immediately strikes a reflective melodic tone from the opening moments.
“Gettin’ us right but take a bit, it’s never the type to test the waters, we ended up in a situationship,” reflects Deante, speaking on a doomed relationship. “Fallin’ in love is bad for your health, cap / that shit a jugg, how can I be good for you baby, I’m bad for myself?” It’s a tried and true topic, but one that never fails to bring some much needed emotional depth to a rapper’s repertoire. Even the generally jovial and often amusing Guapdad knows to keep a straight face, closing things out with his heart fixed on his sleeve.

Visualizer
[Intro: Deante’ Hitchcock]
Past life, past life, that’s where I met you
Buried in my mind, that’s where I kept you
Fast life, fast life, tryna catch you
Yeah, had my fair share of love but this one was special
[Chorus: Deante’ Hitchcock]
Summertime confessions, I can’t forget the way I think of you
In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah
Yeah, love is blind direction, ain’t got no control even when you think you do
In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Deante’ Hitchcock]
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I want (Yeah, yeah)
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I—, know what I— (Yeah, yeah)
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I want
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I—, know what I—
Ayy, ayy, ayy
[Verse 1: Deante’ Hitchcock]
I only call when I’m faded
I only hit you whenever I miss you but we know I’m never gon’ say it (That’s your muhfuckin’ issue, nigga)
Yeah, I get it
Whenever we mad, we say some shit
Gettin’ us right but take a bit
It’s never the type to test the waters, we ended up in a situationship, okay
Fallin’ in love is bad for your health, cap
That shit a jugg
How can I be good for you baby, I’m bad for myself? (For myself)
Had to stop gettin’ high to deal with the lows, I feel like the drugs can help (Drugs can help)
Couldn’t cry if I wanted to, I’m paralyzed but baby I know what I felt, if I don’t really know nothin’ else
Yeah, you know I want that old thing back
I know you want that old thing back
All the hoes, just see money around me, make me feel like that Goldlink track
I know I had a loose grip on you, girl, this time ain’t no holdin’ back
Yeah we both did some cold things but I ain’t tryna think about those things in the—
[Chorus: Deante’ Hitchcock]
Summertime confessions, I can’t forget the way I think of you
In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah
Yeah, love is blind direction, ain’t got no control even when you think you do
In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Deante’ Hitchcock]
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, make up my mind, don’t know what I want (Yeah, yeah)
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I—, know what I— (Yeah, yeah)
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I want
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I—, know what I—
[Verse 2: Guapdad 4000]
Yeah
Frustratin’ and ventin’ to whoever
Thought I done outsmarted all the forces out the dark but they was too clever (Dark)
I cannot be focused on who better (No)
When my own past tryna do me in (Yeah)
We lost the house that I grew up in
But that pussy feel like home, so I’m movin’ in (Ayy)
Déjà vu got me spinnin’ and blurry
Make the new shit feel like old shit
But what if old shit hurtin’? (Uh?)
What if I was abused? Now I’m confused
Déjà vu got my mind runnin’ and my heart jumpin’
And the blood in my dick bumpin’
Jump me into your gang and I’m jumpin’ back
Jump for joy in that pussy like jumpin’ jack
Run from my demons but I need break from this cardio
I’m tryna dial in, dial my number, [?] my name and call me though
Yeah, I want that old thing back
You know I want that old thing back
You know the Fall is harsh and the Winter’s long
But I’m stayin’ strong ’til I get to the—
[Chorus: Deante’ Hitchcock & Guapdad 4000]
Summertime confessions (Yeah), I can’t forget the way I think of you
In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah
Yeah, love is blind direction, ain’t got no control even when you think you do
In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Deante’ Hitchcock]
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I want (Summertime confessions, I can’t forget the way I think of you)
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I—, know what I— (In my mind I guess it’s, it’s all just déjà vu, yeah)
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I want
I only call when I’m drunk, can’t make up my mind, don’t know what I, know what I (Love is blind direction, ain’t got no control even when you think you do)
