De'Wayne drops boisterous new single and video, I Know Something

Hopeless Records rapper and alternative musician De'Wayne is properly kicking off his 2021 with the release of a huge new single and video, I Know Something.

The new track follows his 2020 singles National Anthem and Radio-Active, and is a statement of intent from the young artist. "The song is a reflection of my nature," explains De'Wayne. "I find that most times before anything happens, like a big change, you personally have to embody that. Write it down or even say it out loud… and that's exactly what I'm doing on this record. Knowing something is coming or about to happen is very exciting especially when you're the first one that believes in it."

Of the accompanying video, meanwhile, he reveals: "The video was about allowing myself to put my guard down and poke fun at the things going on around me. I didn't want to take it too seriously. I love the idea of impressing parents, ’cause it’s so damn weird to me but I truly think it’s something you have to do your whole life and I love challenges!

"For the video, the thought of pouring champagne and dancing on their table seemed way more fire than talking with them about a degree I don’t have."
