Music Friday: Dizzy raps about 'The Day After Tomorrow'
Rap artist Dizzy collaborated with DJ Raj Smoove to make an album that featured the sounds of many New Orleans rap singers and how they felt in the wake of Katrina. His song, "The Day After Tomorrow" shows all the anger and frustration that was felt by many in the aftermath of the levee failure. From an article last year in Fox News:
Dizzy’s video for the title track was filmed in front of his mother’s flooded house downtown. Rusted guns and piles of debris litter his hopeful lyrics.
For Dizzy, whose real name is Raymond Seymour, “The Day After Tomorrow” is meant to inspire hope in the face of destruction, though it also recounts suicidal police officers and days spent on rooftops.
“You could have the world in your hands and it all could be gone. You lose it all,” he raps. “Take it all as a blessing … We’re looking forward to the day after tomorrow.”
Behind the cut, Dizzy lets you know how he feels about what happened to his hometown. (Be aware, the lyrics are very intense and it might get you in trouble if you crank it at the office!)
