Boston content creator Mike Deez is putting the city on the digital map — and doing it in a way no movie, show, or tourist guidebook ever could.
Sitting down with Noble Creative Museum TV — a Boston-based platform that’s documented the local scene for over a decade — Deez breaks down how he’s become one of the city’s most recognizable online voices. Known for his viral videos that highlight Boston nightlife, local controversies, and cultural pride, the Hyde Park native is steadily building a loyal following that taps in for authenticity, not polish.
“It all started in college,” Deez says, reflecting on his 2016-17 beginnings. “I saw this white guy covering Boston’s nightlife and thought, ‘Why not me?’” His earliest experience came even earlier — as a high school cameraman for New Mission’s basketball team. One video of players on a school bus went viral, giving him an early taste of how far his camera could take him.
Representing what he calls “Haitian Paradise,” Deez proudly reps Hyde Park and Boston’s often-overlooked inner city communities. His content originally focused on neighborhood rivalries — think “BlueHill vs Dudley” — but quickly expanded to include event recaps, nightlife crowd reactions, and now, collaborations with local businesses and clothing sponsors.
His videos don’t just entertain — they make an impact. He’s sparked conversations around Boston staples like “best steak & cheese spots” and the “worst Dunkin’ Donuts,” but also helped expose sanitation issues that temporarily shut down stores. In one major win, he teamed up with local councilman Enrique Pepín to help reopen a Hyde Park bridge that had been inaccessible for years.
“I just document what’s really going on,” he says. “People feel it because it’s real.”
Even his slang has become signature. Deez is known for using “dead dogs,” a term tied to Boston culture — but he drew a line when rapper Boston Richey tried to use it in an interview, citing allegations of snitching. “That’s for Boston people,” Deez explains, showing his mix of loyalty and ethics.
Once a college party promoter under the brand “Get Nutty,” he ultimately stepped back after his grandmother — a preacher — saw the wild footage. These days, his focus is more refined but still just as raw: showcasing Boston nightlife, its people, and their stories with clarity and respect.
Now a go-to for what’s really going down in the city, you’ll often find Deez at events, camera in hand, with locations shared via his Instagram (@mikedsstory). Despite navigating drama and street politics, he’s carved out a space that balances street credibility with community love.
“I stay out of the politics,” he says. “But I still respect the streets. That’s how you survive and stay respected.”
