DC The Don

American rapper DC the Don quickly earned himself a following debuting with the track “Everything 1K” in 2017. His mix of rough-edged 808 beats and quick-fire bars saw him teaming up with Trippie Redd and YBN Almighty Jay, while dropping albums such as 2020′s Come as You Are and the sprawling 2022 release My Own Worst Enemy.
Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, DC the Don (aka Daijon Davis) moved to Los Angeles when he was 16 to pursue a career in basketball. At the same time the talented youngster also had an interest in rap and decided to ditch his basketball career to focus full-time on his music career. Debuting in 2017 with the track “Everything 1K” the rapper quickly made a name for himself, with the track being snapped up to appear in a television commercial. With his style combining heavy 808 beats and horror-related themes, his debut EP, Halloween on 47th St. appeared just a few months later. DC continued to issue tracks online, with streaming figures reaching into the millions. The EP, DC Fridays, appeared in 2019 and the following year, DC dropped his debut album, Come as You Are. Teaming up with producers such as Trademark and Garza, the album also included guest spots from YBN Almighty Jay and DDG. A deluxe edition followed a few months later, which expanded the release with another five tracks. 2021 saw him issue a slew of releases while also collaborating with the late Sad Frosty on “Beavis and Butt-Head” and jetsonmade on “REROUT3.” DC kickstarted 2022 with the release of his sophomore album, the expansive My Own Worst Enemy. ~ Rich Wilson
