DC The Don signed with Republic Records.
DC The Don is managed by Left/Right Management/Decibel Sound & booked by UTA.
DC The Don, born Daijon Davis on August 3, 1999, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is an American rapper and singer now based in Los Angeles, celebrated for his genre-blending style that fuses hip-hop, rage rap, punk, pop, emo, and electro elements into a versatile and experimental sound. Rising to prominence with his 2017 debut track "Everything 1K," featured in Big Baller Brand's sneaker commercial, he overcame a contract dispute that sidelined him for nearly two years by building a fanbase through his "DC FRIDAYS" playlist, before signing with Rostrum Records in 2020. Key releases include his debut album Come As You Are (2020), My Own Worst Enemy (2022) introducing personas Donny and Rag3 Kidd, and FUNERAL (2023), alongside hits like "Red Light," "Campfire Story," "Walk Thru," "GMFU," "Hate Being Lonely," and "12AM," with collaborations alongside artists such as Trippie Redd, Lil Mosey, and the late Sad Frosty.
