DeijuVHS music explores having low self-esteem, being broke and his Insta-famous girlfriend.
23-year-old DeijuVHS has no idea what to call his music. “It’s a weird non-genre,” the East Londoner says. “I don’t know what the fuck it is. It’s new age shit. Our generation has lived through so many genres that everything’s just mashed up.” The tracks we’ve heard so far certainly attest to this – weirdo drill, punk, trap, indie, Soundcloud rap hybrids on which Deiju yells Death Grips-style about having low self-esteem, being broke and his Insta-famous girlfriend.
Deiju has the Om symbol tattooed between his eyebrows. A mark of his spirituality? “When I was young, I went to Georgia with my dad and his cult,” he explains, remarkably casually. “They’d built this place to look like ancient Egypt, we had to do the Om around a pyramid to channel some energies.” The cult was called Nuwaubianism, it was all about black empowerment and ancient aliens and has since been disbanded, its leader convicted of some horrific things.
So yes, while it is a mark of his spirituality, he also got the tattoo because “it’s like an anime ting” that looks as though it ought to glow whenever he unleashes his powers. Deiju also has the acronym VHS on one cheek and an Ankh key of life on the other. Outside of the cult, Deiju was 13 when he discovered Linkin’ Park and began his descent into Kerrang, skating and punk rock. “I started a punk band called King Pleasure, after the Basquiat painting. We couldn’t play our instruments but we were just going for it.” He cites the Gorillaz, Test Icicles and Nirvana as key influences, and “Rammstein at the O2 in 2012” as the best live show he’s ever seen. “They had a giant dick balloon that was spraying foam into the crowd. Nothing else can beat them.
