Young DA came to the attention of Hellmut Wolf, Director of Wolf Entertainment via Head Boss who is in charge of A&R USA for the company, and he liked his style immediately. Says Mr. Wolf: "The moment I heard Derrick (Young DA) I felt he has something very special. The way he combines really cool musical choruses with his Rapping is awesome. His production is slick and the songs have certainly a strong commercial appeal. What strikes me the most about this young man is his dedication to his music and art. He is really hungry and wants to have success badly, and he goes about it is a very direct way, with great spirit. Now that we are working together we will guide him to release his first international single and to shoot a video clip. We are still in discussion which track we are going to pick as the first song, and once that is released and the video is out, Young DA is going to be working on his debut album while we promote the single and get him heard around the world."
