Romanian born artist Drei Ros has spent years spicing up tracks for artists such as Pusha T, Gucci Mane, and Kap G, but is now ready to embark on his own solo career. This October, Ros will be releasing his debut trap album 'Excuse My Accent.'

Ros was born in Ploiesti, Romania. At the age of 16, he moved to the United States to play college basketball in Seattle. But after his father was diagnosed with liver cancer, he moved back home to Romania with his family for his father’s final days. While home, a childhood friend invited Drei into a recording studio for the first time. With an abundance of emotions coursing through his veins, he completed his first musical project in Romanian that summer which he dedicated to his dad, entitled 'Between Life and Death.'
