Def Jam to Release ‘Direct Deposit, Vol. 1’ Compilation, Welcomes New Signee Amir Obe

Def Jam Records will be rolling out a star-studded compilation album called Direct Deposit Vol. 1. The 10-track set hosts hits from esteemed veteran rappers like 2 Chainz ("Big Amount" featuring Drake), Pusha T ("Circles") and YG ("I Wanna Benz") as well as buzzy newcomers Desiigner ("Tiimmy Turner Remix"), Dave East ("Stove Top") and latest signee Amir Obe ("No Peace").

The rapper — who reps both his native Detroit and second home Brooklyn — delivered Internet favorites like his 2015 EP Happening in the Grey Area and this year's Love in the Hills EP (standouts from the projects included "Before The Vomit" and the Partynextdoor-assisted "Truth For You"). He also notched a collaboration with Drake on the Toronto MC's "Star67," off 2015's If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

To celebrate his signing, Obe also dropped off the semi-animated visual for his moody number "No Peace."

He will also be streaming the video on his website www.amirobemusic.com, and gifting exclusive t-shirts to fans who sign up to the mailing list.
