The hip-hop artist known as D.C. (and
also known as Money ScorseZe) has released his newest single, titled,
“Guap-A-Mole.” The track is an
homage to enjoying life in light of the human need for money, which
the song symbolizes as a mound of green guacamole, stylized as
“Guap-A-Mole.” The song's instrumentation relies heavily on
percussion and does not implement sounds or effects that might
obscure its real feature, the rapping of D.C., himself. D.C.'s
writing is erudite and careful, his delivery aggressive, confident
and musing. The track stands as the best contemporary example of his
music to date.
Derrick “D.C.,”
who was born in Columbus, OH, considers the eighties to be one of his
primary musical influences. This is because the 1980s period
originally infused him with his addiction to hip-hop music. “The
culture had its own way of voicing its likes and dislikes,” writes
D.C. “I was drawn in by the wordplay and the witty use of
metaphors, and before long I was a stone-cold hip-hop junkie, an
addict to what many people said at the time was 'just a fad.'” The
artist names, among his other main influences, legends of the urban
subculture such as Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Cold
Play, Scarface, and Wale.
D.C.'s main themes
can be highly contrasted against one another, which can cause some
listeners to wonder about his intentions. This is easily seen in the
following lines taken from his bio, which directly discuss his
lyrical content: “While D.C. wants to address the beauty of music,
and artistry and how it relates to the world, Money ScorseZe would
oftentimes rather be drowning in bottles and women, and inundated
with mind-altering herb.”
Regarding this
duality of character, D.C. writes, “My music resonates with my fans
because, like them, it shows that people are complex individuals who
are never one thing all of the time.”
D.C.'s single
“Guap-A-Mole” is available online everywhere beginning March 13,
2013.
