1) The world hasn’t se… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) The world hasn’t seen an emcee like Dynasty before. It’s rare when an artist combines heartfelt storytelling, commanding stage presence, and a deep and palpable audience connection. The soul of Lauryn Hill, and the ruff neck swagger of MC Lyte, all appropriate descriptions for the femcee, D.Y. It’s easy to make comparisons when you start talking about female emcees. D.Y. herself says “I’m complimented by comparisons to Lauryn” but one look at her live and you’ll see that she truly holds her own in this game.
Born and raised in Queens, Dynasty (Diana Hardy) has always found herself at the center of attention. She was the kid that was always doing something to entertain the family. Whether making up a dance to BBD’s “Poison” in the front yard or playing “the song that grandma liked” on the piano for guests, life often seemed like a stage. She attended a small performing arts college on Long Island, Five Towns College. After graduating with her Associate degree in Theatre Arts, she wasn’t sure how she would pay to continue on for her Bachelor’s degree. The grants had run out and financial aid wasn’t offering much. Believing in her dream, the president of the school offered to waive the balance on her tuition. Because of this, you will often hear her say “I’m the first rap chic with a rap scholarship.”
The soul of a dreamer, and the fearless determination to follow that dream wherever it might lead, her presence on stage is a guaranteed, take no prisoners, always leave them wanting more, show stealer. D.Y. has lit up shows opening for The Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Big Daddy Kane, Redman and Method Man, Talib Kweli, KRS One and more. A Wu-Tang Clan crowd will not stand for anything less than ruff, rugged, and raw, so you know she has skills. 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. Never caught up in writing “formula rap” as she calls it, Dynasty writes from the heart and only makes music that’s good for the soul and at the same time, remains a beast on the mic. Rhyming ever since she was a kid, it wasn’t until she moved to Tampa, FL and opened for Little Brother that she really got the push that she needed to take her career to the next level. At that show, she linked with her dj, DJ Sandman. From that point on, she’s been pushin’ even harder for her dream and it appears that it is within reach.
Dynasty has been slowly making a name for herself, turning heads locally and 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.
Her first project which dropped in 2010, Dreampusher, tells a story of transcendence, hope and is universal in its themes. She lets you know who she is by touching on everything from love and life to tackling the stigma of the female emcee. On “Femcee” she takes the term that some view negatively and flips it by saying “there’s nothin’ feminine about killin’ an emcee”.
Her passion transcends the stage; her mass appeal transcends all boundaries. There is no “set demographic” for D.Y., no gimmick, no crafted agenda aside from making beautiful music. She rocks for the grown folks, the kids and people from all walks of life. Rightfully so, soul music touches the world.
“Inside there’s a flame that is untamed/ I stand strong in the rain, I am unchanged/ til the earth takes me in & I’m reclaimed/ when the sound stops still make the ground hot.. and I don’t do it for the fame/ I got nothin’ to lose but have everything to gain/ and when its all said and done..I will remain, pushin’ my dream forever your girl, D.Y. remember the name..” – Dynasty.
2) Based out of the wildly diverse Los Angeles music scene, Dynasty is a collective in the grand tradition of of all that is grand and glorious in old school hardcore. With a dynamic new album entitled Truer Living With A Youthful Vengeance on the verge of being released on Strike First Records as well as an upcoming tour with Call To Preserve, Dynasty is sure to leave a lasting legacy in this year of 2011. On the spiritual side of the spectrum and yet more then ready to unleash a Beastie Boys cover if you request it, there is a strong sense of urgency and conviction to be found within Dynasty’s impassioned compositions.
3) Formed in the year of 1996, in the city of Nova Lima/MG, with the intention of playing Heavy Metal, in your first steps. The band always preferred to work with own music in detriment of the local bands, that preferred to explore the covers. The compositions were simple and purely based on traditional bands as: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon and Black Sabbath.
The musicians, at that time, were Nahor, Daflas, Anderson and Lelo. The formation is altered with the entrance of one more guitarrist Walter, and the first presentations still felt in the year of 1996. They were very humble but done with claw. In this same year, Daflas and Lelo they leave the band, this last one being substituted by Samuel.
In the first months of 1997, the band raised higher flights, making your first presentation rejection of Minas Gerais, going to the city of Barueri/SP, being one of the prominences of the event. Still today Dynasty is considered one of the pioneers of Heavy Christian Metal in Brazil.
4) Supremely talented, immaculately attired, sporting hooks, looks, chops, and undeniable rockstar power, Dynasty are the complete package royale. This is their seven-song, multiple re-entry vehicular salvo from the heart and loin of the San Francisco dancewavepartypunk culture war.
Fronted by the mercurial Jibz Cameron (Roofies) on vox and keyboards, hips set rocking by the bomb-ass bass of Diana Hayes (Mono Pause), and jet-propelled by the undeniable beatz of Indra Dunis (Numbers), Dynasty is the soundtrack to your fever-dream night-on-the-town with Alexis Carrington, Dorothy Parker, and Terri Nunn. Dynasty is not some tired, warmed-over electro retread. This is fresh, beat-oriented, melodic, everlasting gobstopper party music, awash in sex, deadpan humor, and all-consuming uniform lust.
Upon their 2002 inception, Dynasty instantly became one of the most sought-after bands on the contemporary West Coast dancewave party circuit, having shared bills with Erase Errata, Stereo Total, Gravy Train, and the Deep Throats.
5) A French Kiss tribute-band.
6) A Reggaeton/Dancehall male singer of Dominican & Puerto Rican descent. Self-proclaimed "Prince of Dancehall." Also, he is a part of Dynasty & Padrino.
7) The creation of producer/label-head Dick Griffey and Leon Sylvers, this Los Angeles band recorded light funk and clever dance-pop numbers in the late '70s and into the late '80's for the SOLAR Records label. Still sampled today , their first 4 albums were released in annual succession from 1979 to 1982. Bassist Kevin Spencer and vocalists Nidra Beard and Linda Carriere comprised the group and their biggest hit was 1980's"I've Just Begun To Love You" which hit #6 on Billboard's R&B chart. beard also wrote material for labelmates Shalamar and The Whispers.
8) A band composed of Carlos Gonzales (Russian Tsarlag), Jeremy Harris (Lazy Magnet), Christopher Forgues (Mark Lord), and Ren Schofield (Container) from 2006 - 2007.
9) American hip hop duo from NYC area, they were active from late 90s till early 00s. Consiting of SUN aka Stroker Brown & Rapper Ness aka Classy Freddie Blassie.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I was a fool, or you, a thief
Made it thru the maze to find my one in a million
Now you're just a page torn from the story I'm living
And all I gave you is gone
Tumbled like it was stone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up
The scar I can't reverse
When the more it heals the worse it hurts
Gave u every piece of me, no wonder it's missing
Don't know how to be so close to someone so distant
And all I gave you is gone
Tumbled like it was stone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up
It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
And all I gave you is gone
Tumbled like it was stone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down
It all fell, It all fell down, It all fell down
(And all I gave you is gone)
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up

Some days it's hard to see
Sometimes it's difficult to understand the situation
If I was a fool, or you, a thief
Don't know whether it was me who was foolish or you who betrayed
Made it thru the maze to find my one in a million
Managed to navigate through life's complexities and found the love of my life
Now you're just a page torn from the story I'm living
You are no longer a part of my life or my story
And all I gave you is gone
Everything that was once yours is now lost to you
Tumbled like it was stone
It fell apart as if it was a solid, unbreakable object
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake
Believed that our love was unbreakable and eternal
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Believed that our love was unique and nothing could compare
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up
Believed that our love was indestructible and could never end
The scar I can't reverse
The emotional pain and damage caused cannot be undone
When the more it heals the worse it hurts
As the pain fades, it becomes more intense and unbearable
Gave u every piece of me, no wonder it's missing
Shared every part of myself with you, no wonder I feel incomplete now
Don't know how to be so close to someone so distant
Unable to maintain a close relationship with someone who has become emotionally distant
It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
Everything fell apart and crumbled
And all I gave you is gone
Everything that was once given to you is now gone
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake
Believed that our love was unbreakable and eternal
Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made
Believed that our love was unique and nothing could compare
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up
Believed that our love was indestructible and could never end
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
Everything crumbled and fell apart
It all fell down, it all fell down, it all fell down
Everything disintegrated
It all fell, It all fell down, It all fell down
Everything collapsed
(And all I gave you is gone)
(All that was given is lost)
It all fell, it all fell down, it all fell down
Everything fell apart and crumbled
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up
Believed that our love was indestructible and could never end

When she said “the scar I can’t reverse”
i felt that..
I am not depressed. I have no intention to harm or kill myself. I felt it on a personal level since I have experienced somebody going through this type of situation of them not wanting to live anymore. As in I felt that, I didn’t mean in a self harming way. I don’t know what some of you are going through out in this world and what you’ll do to make yourself happy, and knowing that LITTLE kids are killing themselves almost everyday, scars me. It scares me. It now makes me think of my responses in my head before actually saying it to the person since I don’t want to offend them in that way. So, please. I don’t wish to be an attention seeker, if that’s what your thinking. Again, I’m not depressed and if I was, I wouldn’t comment on YouTube. Also, for my definition of that lyric does not include self harm in my opinion. I hope you guys hear me out when I say that, I did not mean to offend any people who have depression or for people saying that I’m an attention seeker.

They didnt notice you were crying
They didn't notice you were sad
They didn't notice you were tired.
They didn't notice you were alone
They didn't notice how attentive you were
They didn't notice how sweet you.
actually are....
They didn't notice how you actually try to make others smile
They did notice you failing grades
They did notice your unattractive
They did notice the mean side of you
They did notice all your mistakes
They did notice all you flaws
They did notice that you weren't good enough for them
But you stayed strong
You kept going on You never gave up on hope
You never let them take you down And you know they weren't good enough for you And that's what make you stronger
Stay safe everyone

“ People who want to die, don’t actually want to die. They just want their sufferings to end. “
@abbylavender

@park3783

@chryztelle.dlwrma5205
well yep... i'm afraid to die... i don't want to die.... I cant even make my self bleed but I hit my self... a lot to cope up with that urge in cutt-... and I have thoughts... you know... thoughts but never actually do it... I am suffering a lot and barely hanging on... i am thankful to my self for not doing worse things and still fighting but as time goes on... I'm starting to get tired. I dont even know what i'm doing anymore... I dont like the things that I used to like... im trying my best to get out of this situation and return normal again but its too hard... I actually want to talk about this matter for years to my family but Ik them too well that they will take this lightly... cuz when I gave hints on them like mentioning that "some kids my age is have a hard time.. blah blah" and you know what they said to me ... "thats because they are overreacting, plainly sensitive and lazy, they just dont want to do anythng in their lives. That's why they are like that .."
