“I feel like Black people deserve everything, so they should have fun, be chill, and not have to deal with any bullshit.” —nueded Senior music writer imLeor interviews producer & vocalist, Yesterdayneverhappened, who books and promotes Daybreak party.
Angel Day, 23, is a visual artist, pop musician, and show promoter. They make eclectic underground tracks that draw from experimental dance and hip-hop, using the name Yesterdayneverhappened; they also organize a party called Daybreak, which showcases Black and Black trans artists.
Beginning in 2017, I started making art. I started making cover art and stuff like that. I was linking up with all these local rappers. I was hanging out withMidnightt I feel like people only really have the attention span for one thing, usually. So since I was making cover art, nobody was hitting me up to rap or make music with them. It wasn’t until I started doing all this stuff on my own that people were like, “OK, this person can actually make music and has a voice to do so.”
There’s literally so much talent there. It’s oversaturated with non-Black people—like, white people specifically—taking up slots and throwing these parties. And sure, they can do that, but there’s so many people that aren’t getting enough shine. There’s not enough people getting traction. There’s Black and Black trans people that have followings, but they’ve never been to Chicago.
