Devokeyous Keyshawn Hamilton (born March 8, 2002), known professionally as Lazer Dim 700 (stylized in all caps), is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Cordele, Georgia.[1] He is known for his off-the-dome style of rapping and his beats which often feature chaotic 808s. He has been described by Complex as "Young Nudy crossed with Playboi Carti" and "Atlanta's most chaotic and fun new rapper."[2] His debut studio album, Keepin It Cloudy, was released on December 18, 2024.[3]
Career
Hamilton performed at Summer Smash, a music festival hosted by Lyrical Lemonade and SPKRBX, on June 14, 2024.[4]
Musical style
Hamilton creates most of his music using the BandLab app.[5]
Hamilton does not plan out most of his lyrics. His delivery often has no "hook, bridge, or break for air, just a perpetual stream-of-consciousness", according to Complex.[5]
Hamilton constantly makes new music with a focus on choosing "weirdo" beats, like his song "Injoyable" which samples SpongeBob's laugh.[5] The bass of his songs has been described by The Fader as "being tailormade to wound subwoofers."[1] Alphonse Pierre, a writer for Pitchfork, said of the instrumentals he raps over as "draw[ing] their influence from the maximalism of Lex Luger and Young Chop and the vibey original wave of plugg," with boosted bass similar to Brazilian funk.[2]
Personal life
Hamilton has been rapping since the second grade, when he lived in Cordele, a small town four hours south of Atlanta.[5]
Hamilton was inspired by his mother’s boyfriend, who set up a makeshift studio in their house to record rap, and the Atlanta rap he heard on the radio. Hamilton would make music using two phones at once—one to play the beat, the other to record everything.[5]
Hamilton has a two year old son.[5]
