DeRuse is released his first project in five years, Defining DeRuse, on February 17.

“After 5 years without an album release, I’ve traveled to 8 different countries to rap/perform, got married, and now have a baby daughter. So much of who I am and what I believe continues to grow and mature. This album is all about trying to define myself and who I have become today as a man, father, and follower of Jesus,” said DeRuse.
