DC The Don

DC The Don, born Daijon Cotty Davis on August 3, 1999, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a genre-bending rapper and singer who’s redefining the edges of hip-hop with a bold fusion of rap, rock, and melodic soundscapes. Before music, Davis stood out on the basketball court—literally and figuratively. At 6 feet 7 inches tall, he played alongside LaMelo Ball at Chino Hills High School in California, with dreams of going pro.

In 2017, Davis shifted gears and entered the music scene with his breakout single “Everything 1K,” which gained viral attention after being featured in a Big Baller Brand commercial. That momentum helped him launch a career rooted in authenticity and fearless experimentation. After signing with Rostrum Records, he dropped his debut album Come As You Are in 2020, introducing fans to his unique mix of emotional vulnerability and rebellious energy.

His 2022 album My Own Worst Enemy showcased even more range, weaving together aggressive bangers with introspective tracks. The follow-up, FUNERAL (2023), leaned deeper into punk and pop influences, proving that DC The Don doesn’t just follow trends—he sets them.

Named to XXL’s 2023 Freshman Class, he’s quickly cementing his status as one of the most exciting and unpredictable voices in hip-hop today. Whether he’s crooning over guitar-laced beats or delivering fiery verses, DC The Don continues to push boundaries and connect with a generation looking for something real and raw.
