Why does this guy pronounce the word "dejas" from the verb "dejar" as "DE-GAS"??

cada vez que te vas, me dejas el alma en un hilo
[every time you leave me, you leave the (my) soul (hanging) by a thread]

it's supposed to be the verb dejar - to leave right? dejas, confused by his pronunciation

Is this something unique to Dominican Republic?

In English it would be more like DEH - HAS.

Yep, that is what it is DEH-HAS but he clearly says DEH-GAS with a hard G. This sounded odd to me.

ha! Incredibly enough it is a softer H than an American H. It sounds like a G but it isn't. At least that's what I hear.
