DC The Don Shares “Hate Being Lonely,” a Melodic Anthem From His Upcoming Album FUNERAL, Releasing via Rostrum Records
The Milwaukee Native Gets Unlucky In Love in the “Hate Being Lonely” Music Video
Critical Praise:
“Not only can he sing with so much emotion behind his words, but he also knows how to masterfully rap as well as switch up his cadences constantly, always keeping you guessing about what he’s going to do next.” – Lyrical Lemonade
“Los Angeles by way of Milwaukee’s DC The Don is part rapper, part rockstar, excelling in the melodic and riotous lane popularized by cult heroes like Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd.” – Audiomack
The Announcement:
Boundlessly creative with a gift for easy melody, rising rapper DC The Don inhabits a universe of his own creation. Today, the Milwaukee native drops “Hate Being Lonely,” along with a new video. Produced by Aprxx, “Hate Being Lonely” borrows elements of dance genres like UK garage and 2-step to create a terminally chill, yet propulsive atmosphere for DC to skate on: “Tell me what you need and when you want me/Too drunk and you hate being lonely/I got what you need and then some,” he croons.

In the new video, directed by Connor Pritchard, DC’s romantic ambitions get the best of him, as his two girlfriends find out he’s being unfaithful and join forces to stop his two-timing. What seems like a dream night for DC turns into a nightmare, as he loses two chances at love and earns a slap on the face for good measure.

“Hate Being Lonely” is the first single from FUNERAL, DC The Don’s next full-length album. FUNERAL is an immersive look inside the rapper’s world of hard-edged raps and hyperpop melodies, skillfully blending the two sides of his personality that dominated each half of last year’s ambitious project My Own Worst Enemy. On FUNERAL, DC works with a core crew of producers to craft a danceable, uptempo new sound that incorporates elements of club, trap, bubblegum pop, emo, dubstep, and everything else that catches the omnivorous rapper’s fancy. The latest step in the artist’s evolution, FUNERAL arrives in the coming weeks via Rostrum Records.
2023 has been a very busy year for the breakout rapper. In March, DC turned back the clock when he re-released his 2018 mixtape DC DAHMER, adding two standout new songs: the lilting and heartfelt “Mood Swings!,” produced by Trademark, and the transporting, guitar-led “LSD Freestyle.” In January, DC released the endlessly creative original mixtape SACRED HEART (+), home to standouts like “SRT / UMBRELLA” and “SHUTUP!” Following in the wake of 2022’s “FUNERAL Tour,” DC plans to hit the road again this May, as he joins $NOT on his “Get Busy Or Die Tour,” where he will be a supporting act alongside Night Lovell.
With FUNERAL on the way, DC The Don is determined to prove there’s nothing he can’t do. Stay tuned for much more in the near future.

The Background:
DC The Don is a rapper from Milwaukee, WI. In 2016, at the age of 16 and standing 6’7”, DC moved to Los Angeles to pursue a basketball career under Lavar Ball and alongside teammate LaMelo Ball. During this time, he fell in love with music and used his spare time to make experimental records which suddenly gained traction – As the public became increasingly aware of DC The Don’s talent for rapping, NBA player Lonzo Ball featured his song “Everything 1k” on the first Big Baller Brand shoe commercial, introducing DC The Don’s music to an even wider audience. DC signed to Rostrum Records in 2020, releasing his debut album Come As You Are on August 7th, generating over 125 million streams across platforms. The artist looks to reach another level with My Own Worst Enemy, his ambitious new album, available everywhere now.
