Dex Meets Dexter is Famous Dex’s debut studio album. It was initially scheduled for March 23, 2018, but after a delay, Dex announced the April 6, 2018 release date via Big Boy’s Neighborhood: We kinda changed the date, don’t be mad at me. It’s April 6th. It’s a special day; it’s my little sister’s birthday. Her name’s Sierra. I lost her to breast cancer. The album’s title refers to Famous Dex’s two different personas, which represent distinct musical styles. Famous Dex further explored the difference between Dex and Dexter in three promotional videos for the album and on Angie’s Newness, where he explained: It’s two people. Dex is the—is the good guy. Dex is the ‘Japan’ guy. Dexter’s the one take his clothes off at the shows. […] I just wanna show my fans like, look, this what it is: this Dex, and you is meeting this crazy boy Dexter. Dex also shared his hopes for the album in an interview with DJ Self: This my first album, man! This like, it’s like having your first baby! […] This album, I worked. I want my—I want my fans to know like, Dex really can […] he can do some music.
