Orlando rapper Dyggz is chasing the feeling of a long night that still has something left in it on his new single, “After Party,” a sleek, funk touched track featuring Kent Jones and James Hart.
Born Rafael Randall in St. Ann Bay, Jamaica, and raised across several cities in the United States, Dyggz pulls from a wide mix of influences. That background shows up clearly in the music. He grew up on hip hop staples like the Wu-Tang Clan, and his path through Hartford, Virginia, Atlanta, California, Dallas, and now Orlando has given his sound a broad, lived in quality that feels personal while still reaching outward.
With “After Party,” the idea is simple and familiar in the best way. It is about that point in the night when things are still open, the energy is still there, and the part you really care about may just be beginning. There is anticipation in the song, but also a sense of ease, like the invitation matters as much as whatever comes next.
The production helps sell that mood right away. Built on a bright, glossy groove with a strong funk pulse, “After Party” carries the kind of smooth bounce that fans of Silk Sonic will probably recognize. It is warm, clean, and easy to sink into. The beat gives the song room to move without ever feeling too busy, and that restraint works in its favor.
Lyrically, Dyggz keeps the focus on flirtation and late night desire, anchored by a hook that is direct and hard to shake: “Will you pull up to my after party? There’s so many things to say to you… There’s a million things I’m trying to do to you…”
Dyggz, Kent Jones, and James Hart all sound comfortable here. Each artist brings charm and control, and nobody overplays their part. The chemistry between them gives the track its momentum, making the collaboration feel natural from beginning to end.
The song is built for repeat listens, it's the type of track a DJ will mix into their set TWICE, just to keep the party jumping.
More than a late night record, “After Party” shows Dyggz refining his instincts as a songwriter and performer. He understands how to build a mood, how to keep it moving, and how to make that feeling travel. The result is a track that sounds good immediately and lingers a little longer than you expect.
“After Party” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
