Yani Simone’s AFTER HOURS music video transports you back to the early 1900’s in the New Orleans French Quarter! Seductive, sensual, vampires, it’s all there! The scene is a Victorian era club where the well-to-do gather to party, listen to pop music of their day and have a great time. As the guest are watching a stage performance by an old voodoo queen, the scene suddenly turns surreal as the voodoo queen chants and stares into her crystal ball. Guests shudder in fear and excitement as the voodoo queen transforms into a beautiful Loogaroo (Yani Simone), a French Caribbean vampire popular in myths and legends of the early 1900’s. What follows is a party filled with debauchery worthy of Las Vegas for “What happens After Hours…never happened! If you are a fan of The Twilight Saga, Dark Shadows, The Vampire Dairies, you will love this video! Look for a cameo from rapper Vickz toward the end of the video. You can get the song on or amazon.

Chorus
Hold your head high, You will survive
Don’t let em doubt you, There’s nothing you can’t do
I believe we’ll succeed Don’t ever let em doubt you
You’re making your dreams come true
Verse 1
I’ve been told that your passion’s not conventional
Following dreams that are pre deemed as trash
But if they only seen half of the faces that I’ve encountered
They would testify in one voice that words is power
And I mean that from the bottom of my soul
Soldiers that I’ve known who reminisce on being home
And the music is my method of a countdown or direction
Lessons that I’ve learned that I pre-packed on a record
So I slow down my tempo clarify my metaphors
Make light of my window wage right to declare a war
Against the evils that have pre-screened the passionate
In my season I’ve re-teamed with my catalyst
Re-dreamed of an action list – so the action is
Exhale any past minor falls they were practices
And nows the real deal cause this is prime time
So chuck your hands up dance and baby let the lights shine
Chorus
Hold your head high, You will survive
Don’t let em doubt you, There’s nothing you can’t do
I believe we’ll succeed Don’t ever let em doubt you
You’re making your dreams come true
Verse 2
I never said that I was the best at really anything
And my intentions – well that speaks for itself
See I fell so many times that I remember slow motion
What its like to have the chance to recapture all of my dreams again
I guess its why that I speak easily seize a pen
Breathe freely when beats weave at a key event
And that’s just part of my culture my connotation
My respect for different genres that empowers generations of artists
that were taught to be quiet but never thought of it
And Singers, rap, actors or dancers were never targeted
And this might fly over the heads of those who missed it
But for years this platform that we have was non existent
Much love to Anna May Wong and those who did it
Of course Bruce who shattered the rules of a leading actor
And now its after – the chapters now upon us
Believe in yourself and there is nothing you can’t accomplish
Chorus
Hold your head high, You will survive
Don’t let em doubt you, There’s nothing you can’t do
I believe we’ll succeed Don’t ever let em doubt you
You’re making your dreams come true
Verse 3
I used to worry bout my image when I got personal
Making sure my flows were dope in every syllable
And I was taught that as a rapper I was limited
To the topics I could speak on – cash, girls or a mix of both
And it was crazy that It didn’t come to me sooner
That our craft was being barely represented
And so I vented through any tracklist like I needed it
If I can’t change the game then I will sleep in it
And I will write from sunrise until the evening
In hopes that my words could touch another soul
And maybe that’s you, sitting by the negatives
A bunch of negativity and questions bout your relevance
I’m here to tell you that you’re beautiful and talented
And don’t call it quits just cause it ain’t happen yet
A million ‘likes’ doesn’t tell me who you are
But a star is represented by the passion in they heart
Bridge
when you’re hurt and lost don’t lose your way
use the hope to wash the pain away, yeah
theres a promise of a better day, its okay
the best things are worth the wait
Chorus
Hold your head high, You will survive
Don’t let em doubt you, There’s nothing you can’t do
I believe we’ll succeed Don’t ever let em doubt you
You’re making your dreams come true
