Dynasty

Dynasty was Born Diana Hardy in Queens, New York. Dynasty was in love with music at a young age, she always found herself at the center of attention; performing and dancing in front of her family.

Her love for performing later on led her to go to a small performing arts college on Long Island, Five Towns College.

Dynasty (D.Y. for short) has gone on to have much success as a rapper in her own right. She has lit up shows opening for The Wu-Tang Clan, Big Daddy Kane, Yasin Bey (Mos Def) Krs-One, Talib Kweli, Redman and Method Man and more.

She also did the Florida leg of the Duck Down 15th Anniversary tour along with the entire roster including Sean Price and Pharoahe Monch. But it’s her performance on records that truly sets Dynasty in a class all her own. While she has an affinity for hard beats and raw hip hop artists such as MOP and Slaughterhouse, she often finds inspiration from artists on the opposite side of the spectrum like the soulful Erykah Badu and the timeless, Ella Fitzgerald.

Dynasty has been slowly making a name for herself, turning heads within hip hop communities all over the world thanks to a co-sign from DJ Premier who put her last single “Femcee” on his “On Tha Road Again” mixtape. The following year, he gave her the ultimate cosign by producing a song for her. “Epic Dynasty” was placed on his compilation album, Get Used to Us. The legendary DJ even appears alongside DY in the video for the song, set to drop in 2011.

D.Y dropped her debut project in 2010 entitled “Dream Pusher,” it tells a story of transcendence, hope, and is universal in its themes. Her presence is truly needed in a time where femcees are only glorified more for their bodies than their lyrics. Dynasty is very cute and good looking but she’s mostly noticed for her lyrical abilities and at the end of the day that’s what’s going to get her props and lead her towards potentially becoming one of the best female rappers of out time.
