DC The Don

“I just want kids to feel like they can do whatever they want, and be themselves,” DC the Don once said in an interview when asked about the message behind his perplexing, metaphor-laden lyrics. “Whatever you wanna do, you can do it being you.” It’s a timeless and straightforward truth woven into the convoluted verses and emotional roller-coaster of DC’s music. The Milwaukee-born emo rapper debuted in 2020 with the album Come as You Are; he gave himself a lavish burial on last year’s Funeral, only to return on Rebirth, slated for release later this year. We’ll retrace his entire story live this summer in Katowice.
