Darrell Wayne Caldwell (December 1, 1993 – December 19, 2021), known professionally as Drakeo the Ruler, was an American rapper from Los Angeles, California. He became known for his rapping flow, as well as his "oddly expressive, poetic word-choices", leading the Los Angeles Times to call him "the most original West Coast stylist in decades". His 2021 single, "Talk to Me" (featuring Drake) entered the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart and preceded his debut studio album, The Truth Hurts (2021).
