Dess Dior

Dess Dior is an Atlanta rapper whose association with Future and the larger Freebandz ecosystem brought her early visibility — she appeared on Future's Evol project and has maintained a presence in Atlanta trap's extended network since. Her own mixtapes and singles operate in the melodic, atmospheric register that Atlanta's scene has made its signature: tracks built for late nights, built for cars, built for the specific emotional frequency that trap at its best occupies.

A Masquerade show keeps it local and keeps it tight. June 13 in Atlanta is a homecoming performance for a rapper who has spent her career building credibility in the city that invented the sound she works in.
