Denise "Dee" Barnes (stage name D Zire) is an American rapper and former television personality who performed in the West Coast hip hop female duo Body & Soul and hosted an influential radio show on KDAY, prior to gaining wider fame as the host of Fox's hip hop show Pump It Up!.
Body & Soul's 1989 debut single "Dance To The Drummer's Beat", released on Los Angeles-based record labelDelicious Vinyl, heavily sampled the Herman Kelly and Life song of the same name. Its b-side, "Hi-Powered", was produced by Def Jef. The same year another track produced by Def Jef would be released: "We Can Do This", on the label showcase This Is Delicious - Eat To The Beat. Body & Soul's greatest recording would apparently be their last - as part of the Dr. Dre-produced West Coast Rap All-Stars and their 1990 posse cut, "We're All in the Same Gang", which earned them a Grammy Award nomination.
In 1992, Barnes hosted the hip-hop special ''Sisters in the Name of Rap'', taped at the Ritz in New York. She explained what was missing from Straight Outta Compton, in a recent piece for Gawker.
