Video: DC The Don – “Worst Day ):”
The Milwaukee Native Recreates One of His Favorite Movies in the Charming Video off Come As You Are (Deluxe)
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 Video:
With a natural melodic ability and a fast-paced flow, DC The Don prides himself on standing out from the pack. Dressing up as one of film’s most famous outsiders, DC The Don gets his Napoleon Dynamite on in “Worst Day ):,“ his new video. Produced by Astroboy and Theo Zim, “Worst Day ):” is a product of DC’s exquisite ear for beats, as he molds his flow around 8-bit piano arpeggios and soulful vocal samples that could easily fit in an 80s arcade game. Directed by OUTLAW of Guapruns Productions, the video is a loving tribute to the 2004 cult classic, sketching an outline of the film’s plot with DC portraying Napoleon and successfully capturing the original’s color scheme and aesthetic. The video provides a twist on some of the film’s most memorable moments, including football tosses with Uncle Rico, Pedro’s presidential campaign, and the closing talent show dance performance. “Worst Day ):” is a new song from Come As You Are (Deluxe), the recently-released expanded edition of DC’s debut album.
With more than 45 million streams across platforms, CAYA emphasizes the importance of being authentic to your creative self, and reflects the 20-year-old rapper’s willingness to put in the work and create his own lane in a stifling city. The Deluxe edition of the album brings six unreleased tracks, including the sinister and head banging “MW3 FREESTYLE,” andthe auto-tuned, spaced-out “STOP BEING SO NICE,” and the pop-punk guitar-driven rager “Wait Your Turn” (142k video views). Come As You Are (Deluxe) also includes previously released fan favorites like “Jesus Can’t Save You“, the Supah Mario-produced “Nascar Racer,” and the recent video single “HELLO DC!” With additional production from Trademark, Garza, SephGotTheWaves, and others, Come As You Are (Deluxe) is available everywhere via Rostrum Records.

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 40 million streams across platforms.
