LAZER DIM 700

Devokeyous Keyshawn Hamilton, known professionally as LAZER DIM 700 and previously as Luh4thagod, is an emerging American rapper and audio engineer known for his unique avant-rap style. He was born on March 8, 2001, in Cordele, Georgia, and partially raised in Southern Atlanta (Clayton County), LAZER DIM 700 has carved a niche for himself with his distinct sound characterized by poorly mixed vocals over heavy instrumentals with distorted 808s. His journey in music began at a young age, and despite numerous challenges, he has managed to make a significant impact in the underground rap scene.

LAZER’s early foray into music started at the age of 12 when he uploaded freestyles and covers of popular songs on an old SoundCloud account. These early attempts, though rudimentary, laid the foundation for his future in music. He returned to the scene in 2018 under the stage name Luh4thagod, releasing his first EP titled 4zzz (Drake Mixtape) on June 6, 2019. This marked the beginning of his consistent output of albums, mixtapes, and singles, gradually building his presence in the music world.

The turning point in LAZER’s career came in late December 2023 with the release of his track “Allowance Take” and the snippet of “fukk 26zombiez,” which gained attention on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). His unique sound, characterized by rough and unpolished production, began to resonate with a broader audience. In mid-February 2024, he gained significant attention in the underground rap scene with the release of “Asian Rock,” a track that was part of a “song wars” hosted by media personality and streamer plaqueboymax. The song received praise from various underground acts, boosting his profile considerably.

On March 13, 2024, LAZER released his debut studio album Injoy, which did well in the underground rap community. The album featured standout tracks such as “awsum,” “evil curse,” and “injoyable,” all of which were praised for their heavily distorted 808s and noticeably poorly mixed vocals, elements that oddly endeared him to his fans. His approach to music, particularly his preference for recording on BandLab, allows him to experiment with his voice and add personality to his bars, something he finds lacking in professional studio settings.

The success of Injoy was further bolstered by the viral popularity of previously released tracks like “Tony Dim” and “Treacherous” on social media. This momentum led to collaborations with frequent producer goxan and the release of Lazer’s Evil Inc. on March 29, 2024. His consistent output and unique style have earned him recognition from prominent figures such as Kai Cenat, YourRage, and plaqueboymax, with whom he collaborated on the song “Laced Max,” further amplifying his reach.

LAZER’s engaging and humorous personality has also played a significant role in his rise. His social media presence is marked by a playful approach, often misspelling words and showcasing his open nature through various platforms and interviews. This relatability has helped him amass a considerable following, with more than 430,000 followers on his self-titled Instagram account.

As LAZER DIM 700 continues to release new music, he has caught the attention of influential figures like Cole Bennett and has been included in the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash 2024 lineup. With plans for a follow-up project to Injoy and ongoing collaborations, the future looks promising for this avant-garde artist. His dedication to his unique sound and ability to connect with fans on a personal level set him apart in the crowded rap landscape, promising a continued ascent in the music industry.
