Hip-hop freshman D-WHY escapes to Italy in the teaser for “Macchiato Music,” the first official video off his upcoming mixtape Don’t Flatter Yourself. The dapper rhymer, who was named one of Rap-Up.com’s 10 Artists to Watch, sips a macchiato while lounging by the Venice canals in a scene that could be torn from the pages of GQ.
In addition to the T-Minus-produced “Macchiato Music,” D-WHY’s tape will include contributions from Diggy Simmons, Hit-Boy, Boi-1da, and Dot Da Genius.
The full video, directed by Rex Arrow, premieres Monday.
D-why=The End of HipHop…something is just totally off seeing this white model guy doing HipHop…Call me racist, but I something feels totally off here. But maybe that is a good thing.

@Frankie, yes u are right! But it just shows what a long way rap has come and is now totally convicted into the mainstream discourse. Great success story but still strange seeing this guy drinking his café in Venice. He looks like the personified end of everything that was once progressive, subcultural and underdog!

@Esi53,
Wow.
Honey, you really don’t have one shread of dignity or respect for yourself do you? Bless your little heart…
But can you at least TRY to be a little classier?
Oh and you’re right about one thing: D is unbelievably sexy…. Every. Last. Inch. Of. Him.
And by the way, he’s not Italian, sweetheart— he’s Jewish.
:)
@WVUpearlsandcurls, lol, i’ll try to be more classy, and yes i have respect.. it’s not lyk i give it away that easily… hehehe… you know men, they like a little game ;)… hehehehe…*grunts… he’s a Jew?? Hello circumcised! ;) lol
Seriously…if you don’t know who this guy is you need to youtube his stuff because he is SICK! You’ll probably be shocked but you won’t be disappointed. Been listening to him for over a year and he never comes with anything less than fire.
So excited to finally see him going mainstream since “devil horns to all”. After downloading all of his songs and remixes, its nice to something good hit this music scene.
