Derez De'Shon Lenard (born March 25, 1989), formerly known as D-Dash, is an American rapper and singer from Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known for his 2017 single "Hardaway", which peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100. He began his career as part of the short-lived hip hop group Dirt Gang, who were signed by fellow Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame to his record label, Brick Squad Monopoly in 2011. His debut studio album, Pain 2 (2018) narrowly entered the Billboard 200. Prior to its release, he joined Birdman's hip hop collective Rich Gang, although he released no projects under its parent entity, Cash Money Records. His second album, Bigger Than Me (2022) failed to chart.

In 2022, Lenard was credited as a songwriter on the album Still Over It for Summer Walker, as he frequently collaborates with the albums producer and fellow Atlanta native, London on da Track.

Early life
