The Black Effect Presents... We Need to Talk!

On this debut episode of We Need To Talk joining the Black Effect Podcast Network, Nyla Symone sits with R&B sensations Dej Loaf and Jacques to discuss Jacquees and Dej being back together and the energy is unreal. Their first collab back in 2017 left fans wanting more, and now, with F*** A Friend Zone Two, they’ve reignited that creative spark. In the studio, they picked up right where they left off, navigating life’s ups and downs while keeping their musical chemistry strong. You can feel the growth—this project brings a new level of maturity and depth, showing just how far they’ve come.

Of course, we can’t talk about them without giving Detroit its flowers. The city’s hip-hop scene has been through it, but the grind is finally paying off. Detroit artists are getting the respect they’ve always deserved, bringing a sound that’s impossible to ignore. And with the ongoing creative exchange between Detroit and the Bay Area, we might be in for some legendary collaborations. Our convo dives into all of it—the personal stories, the struggles, and the wins that make Detroit’s music scene what it is today.

Dej Loaf and Jaquees' 'F**k A Friend Zone 2'  is out now!
