DC has rapidly emerged as a formidable force in UK music, celebrated for his deeply honest lyricism and a dynamic sound that effortlessly fuses rap, grime, garage, and drill. His breakthrough came with the viral “Gleamin’ Freestyle,” swiftly followed by his critically acclaimed debut project, In The Loop. The album, a masterclass in cohesive storytelling, spawned significant hits including “Neighbourhood” (amassing over 12 million streams) and the electrifying collaboration “Bobby & Rowdy” with Knucks, showcasing his compelling narrative style.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and nurtured in South East London, DC’s unique artistic perspective is rooted in his diverse upbringing. His early experiences in an African Pentecostal church laid a subtle yet foundational layer to his musical sensibilities. With a stylistic palette drawing from early Skepta to classic US hip-hop, DC’s work, often shaped by the innovative production of TSB, consistently delivers a fresh take on the UK soundscape.
Having navigated personal challenges, DC’s trajectory is undeniable. His authentic voice and compelling artistry position him as a vital and enduring figure in the contemporary British music scene.
