Real Dimez

Real Dimez are the rap duo of Bae-Luxe and Roxy. Their story combines a long friendship, street-level shakedowns, rap and a heavy social-media presence. They have already had one breakthrough, a hit with DWNPLY. Their deal with Only Raw Records is a chance to find that success again after five years and a lot of trouble.

The two have known each other since high school, though Rockstar has not said when the act itself formed. They turned street activity into money through their songs and online presence, which gives the duo a business instinct alongside their performing.

Their early single with DWNPLY is the only collaboration Rockstar describes, and its title has not been given. Five years separate that hit from their current position.

Dre’Quan signed the duo to Only Raw Records, and he and his label partner Boobie are looking for a hit. That makes the duo’s hoped-for comeback part of the label’s wider ambitions. Rockstar has not said whether the deal involves particular missions, royalties or future releases.

Rockstar’s images show Bae-Luxe in headphones in a studio, the pair performing with microphones, and Roxy driving with Dre’Quan. Rockstar has not said how songwriting, vocals, production or management are split between the two.
