It’s official, Virginia rapper D-Why is an asshole. And we’re not saying that to disrespect him in any kind of way. No, in fact, the rapper is quite proud of the label, hence the record “Ballad of a Asshole,” an ode to himself and his asshole ways.

D-Why just released a video for the song, which was produced by Hit-Boy and is featured on his stellar Don’t Flatter Yourself project.
In the video, we see D-Why look like quite the asshole as he rocks a gang of jewelry while rapping around a bunch of different religious symbols.
MUSIC: D-Why & Hit-Boy “All Good”
That was actually a really primitive way to describe the video. D-Why went to his Tumblr and broke down what the video means. Here’s a sample of what he wrote:
“The inclusion of the American flag in the video represents our great nation. With election season upon us and a slew of political fuckery in the air, this flag—being held up by two hooded figures—represents a land divided by party preference. Who is who? What is what? Politics and religion are two realms I don’t generally dwell in. They both come down to an understanding and belief in something greater—both things I find in writing songs and making music.
As far as the outfits go, I put together three that I thought showcased various extremes. I take pride in dressing myself and putting together everything that I wear. The all black with gold, the sweater-and-blazer combination, and the extreme prep look with the bandana tied around the neck are all outfits that represent my taste in fashion, but also my diverse taste in general. The gold chains (which I don’t think I’d wear in ‘real life’) are present in each outfit to add to the asshole-y overtone of the song and video, and also represent that you can wear things in countless different ways. I think it’s important for people to know (and pardon the cliché) it’s not what you wear, but it’s how you wear it.”
