D-Huff

Poppa D chops it up with Huffy.

When MuchMusic compiled its Top 200 videos of 2012 list, sitting rather unobtrusively at number 77 was gloom-rapper D-Sisive’s “Don’t Turn The Lights Out” feat. Neverending White Lights.

Seventy-seventh isn’t exactly viral sensation territory, but it was a clear victory for the man born Derek Christoff. See, a white-rapping thirtysomething “middle class fat kid in glasses” — his words — doesn’t usually get these kind of mainstream breaks. Even one whose resume includes Juno and Polaris Prize nominations, endorsements from the likes of Tom Waits and stages shared with some of the biggest names in rap throughout the years.

For his part, D-Sisive is only now beginning to understand how come the RT-directed video, which features a comely young couple on the run in a dangerous, vaguely “No Country For Old Men”-style adventure, could score some modified success.

“I don’t know,” D-Sisive tells HuffPost Canada Music when asked why that particular song, a throw-in bonus track for the deluxe edition of his 2011 album “Run With The Creeps” became a hit. “To be honest, it’s a mystery to me and it’s something I’m trying figure out and the more I investigate the more confused I become. Maybe it’s because it’s the one time I’m just not walking in a cemetery. Because television likes to embrace things that aren’t in cemeteries.
