(Radio.com) Dej Loaf made her late night debut Monday (Nov. 24) on The Tonight Show with a little help from The Roots. The first timer looked comfortable on stage, making it clear this was her show. Dressed in a wrap-around sweater and a pair of glitter slip-on sneakers, the Detroit rapper showed us exactly why Drake is such a fan.

Not that we're surprised she's got such swagger, Eminem did recruit her for his new track "Detroit Vs. Everybody." Dej Loaf told Radio.com the surprise hit off her recent mixtape, Sell Soul was actually inspired by a trip to the mall.

"I was walking around shopping and I saw people staring at me and recorded the chorus on a voice memo. It was playful," she explains, "like, 'Why do you keep looking at me like you want to kill me?'�I didn't want it to promote violence or negativity, but it was something I felt. Music to me is my diary. It lets me express how I feel."
