DDG is locked in and not looking back. The multi-talented rapper and streaming powerhouse unleashed the official video for his brand new single “Motion” featuring DaBaby. The visual brings the energy full throttle, matching the relentless pace that both artists bring on the track.
The release comes right on the heels of an unprecedented week for DDG. Just last Monday, he wrapped up a wild 7-day Twitch streamathon that turned the music game on its head. For a full week, DDG stayed live 24 hours a day, giving fans an unfiltered, inside look at the making of his upcoming album. He didn’t just keep the cameras rolling—he brought fans straight into the creative process, from dropping hooks to selecting beats and getting real-time feedback on lyrics.
Throughout the marathon stream, the studio turned into a revolving door of talent. Artists and producers pulled up in real-time to cook up new heat, including DaBaby himself, who laid down his feature while thousands watched live. Fans weren’t just watching history, they were helping shape it, voting on beats, lyrics, and even sitting in on DDG’s media interviews, all streamed live.
The results? Straight-up history. On the final night of the streamathon, DDG’s Twitch channel hit number one globally, making him the top streamer in the world. Right now, he’s sitting at the number six spot worldwide in active subscribers, a huge leap that shows the power of his connection to the fans. To top it off, he marked the milestone in true DDG fashion, cutting off his signature locs live on stream to symbolize his evolution into a bold new chapter of his career.
With over 1.5 billion streams under his belt and plaques to match, double platinum for “Moonwalking In Calabasas,” and gold certifications for hits like “I’m Geekin,” “Arguments,” and “Hood Melody,” DDG has built a catalog that speaks for itself. Add to that a spot on XXL’s Freshman Class cover and a place on Forbes 30 Under 30, and it’s clear: he’s not just making noise, he’s rewriting the playbook.
With his new album on the horizon, DDG is firmly in the driver’s seat as one of the next era’s cultural leaders.
