DC The Don is a Fugitive and Victim in “Live From The Gutta!” Video

Published

on

DC The Don explores his inner conflict on his new album My Own Worst Enemy, his split personalities personified by the sensitive, black-haired RAG3 KIDD and the demonic, red-haired DONNY. Telling a story about the violent conflict between DONNY and RAG3 KIDD, DC The Don plays both roles in the video for Live From The Gutta!,” the album’s chaotic and anthemic introductory track. 

A vicious lyrical missive by DONNY, “Live From The Gutta!” reverberates with harsh, buzzing synths and booming percussion that reflects the character’s unquiet state of mind. DC has an out of body experience behind the mic, as he switches between clipped, declarative statements, verbose outpourings, and primal screams as he vents his aggression: “Ferragamo white tee, n****s OD comin’ thru blastin’,” he begins. The video starts off with an emotional RAG3 KIDD meekly singing at an open mic, before DONNY takes over, popping RAG3 KIDD point black and going on a hedonistic rampage before burying his counterpart in a remote location. 

My Own Worst Enemy tells a loose narrative about DC’s inner conflict, which manifests as a battle between two distinct personalities: RAG3 KIDD, who represents the artist’s more wholesome and romantic side, and DONNY, a demonic, red-haired spitter who emerges on the album’s harder-edged beats. The album kicks off in DONNY mode, featuring some of DC’s hardest tracks to date, including the massive “ENEMIES,” with a beat that sounds like a malfunctioning supercomputer, and the devilish “MAKAVELI,” a fiery lyrical exercise. As the tracklist progresses, RAG3 KIDD makes his presence felt, emoting over candy-coated production on pop culture-referencing tracks like “iCarly :/,” “Scott Pilgrim,” and “Futurama 2099.”

Blending elements of rap, pop-punk, hyperpop, and more, My Own Worst Enemy both expands and refines DC’s sound, allowing the 22-year-old rapper to showcase every facet of his wide-ranging vocal ability. With production by heavy-hitters like JetsonMadeStarboySupah MarioTrademarkCharlie HeatAstroboy, and more, who deliver DC some of their most adventurous beats, MOW3 percolates with the energy of a young artist testing the limits of what he’s capable of accomplishing–and having fun while doing it.
With inventive visualizers for each track now viewable on YouTube, MOW3 is available everywhere via Rostrum Records.
