Biography

Dutch-Surinamese rapper, born 31 May 1988 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For the heavy metal band, please use [a=Dio (2)]. Born in Amsterdam and raised without his father who left the family at his birth, Dio first made waves as a rapper in a duo with rapper Darryl knows as Dubbel D. Their 2004 single "Minderjarig" got the attention of [a=Kees de Koning], who wanted to sign the duo to [l=TopNotch]. However Dio was still underage, and his mother refused to sign the contract. Kees signed Darryl, and the group fell apart a year later. In 2006, Dio was featured on the mix tape of Nino: Transmigratie 1, with the song "O Ik Heb Me Nikez". In 2007 he started making more cameo appearances, featuring on albums by The Opposites, Sef (of Flinke Namen), Reverse and De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig. In 2008 he featured on the title song for the motion picture film "Alibi", also featuring on The Partysquad's full length album. On 28 November 2008, Dio released his first full length album "Rock & Roll" on TopNotch.

LYRICS

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean

Gotta get away
Holy Diver

Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you

Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right

Gotta get away-get away

Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel

Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid

Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
