For this interview, Arshan caught up with DC the Don during KTO’s recent trip to Miami, Florida. Originally from Milwaukee, WI, DC the Don started releasing music towards the end of his successful high school basketball career at Chino Hills High School in California. His 2017 single, “Everything 1k”, was co-signed on social media by NBA player, Lonzo Ball, causing the song to blow up & trend on Twitter. After releasing two mixtapes, “DC Dahmer”(2018) & “DC Fridays”(2019), DC released his debut album, “Come As You Are”, in 2020. He then released the deluxe version of that project, with its song "Worst Day" garnering over 16 million streams on Spotify alone. Releasing singles consistently throughout 2021 & 2022, his “Sacred Heart (+)” deluxe mixtape released just months before his newest album, “FUNERAL”. He recently dropped a music video for the fan-favorite, “12am”, garnering over 300,000 views in 3 months.
During their conversation, Arshan & DC discuss his performance at the failed FouseyTube event in 2018, living with Poudii & DDG, and his reaction to making the 2023 XXL Freshman list. DC gives his thoughts on rappers that turn down opportunities, the most iconic XXL freestyle, earning respect as an artist, & wanting to be a role model for kids in Milwaukee. He also speaks on finding his own sound, touring w/ $NOT, & why he won’t speak about basketball after this interview.
They shift the conversation to talking about similarities between Carti fans, Taylor Swift fans, & DC fans, before discussing how DC’s new album, FUNERAL, sounds like “movie music”. DC talks about his love for movies, making his own cartoon, and potentially going to film school. They honor DC’s best friend, Sad Frosty, remembering how supportive & influential he was. The conversation ends with DC saying that making his family & Frosty proud is what keeps him going. Kids Take Over is based in Vancouver, Canada.
Timestamps!! We actually shot a whole nother DC interview a year ago and had to scrap it cause the audio got lost… smh. Had to run it back for y’all though! Who do you want next?

Yeah facts actually appreciated his honesty throughout this
I kinda get what he tryna say he just can't explain it correctly but basically he's doing something great in life already but people still try and act like he failed because he ain't go "nba" or something
DC is a well spoken individual. I respect him a lot his way of thinking is how i think sometimes. I do hope he doesnt stop doing rage songs entirely as well as his hype aggressive songs because they are always a treat. I will always love his newer music all the same tho.

one of the few rappers in his lane to not give interviews under the influence of 20 cups of lean, xanax and 25 blunts. His music hella unique and different from the rest too, probably the most versatile artist in the underground, he's slowly getting bigger and bigger, just a matter of time until he gets yeat level popularity and i cant wait to see whats next.

have you ever tried smoking 25 blunts?
DC finally getting his recognition i listened to him literally all throughout high school i put everyone onto him now look shi crazy
lotta people need to hear what DC said about elitist music fans ESPECIALLY opium fans
so proud of dc man🥲
his mentality is really on a whole different spectrum, in a good way though. we gotta get on his level.
He is a smart guy. You can tell he moves really intelligently.
Dc the Don project sacred heart was one of the best underground trap albums I’ve heard in years, not sure how it didn’t take over the mainstream even though it did well on SoundCloud.
great interview KTO! def gon check out DC The Don, very authentic artist that loves music and has a good mindset, definitely can relate
Looking forward to see you grow
Loved this I just wish we had a hint about when the deluxe is dropping

11:00 THIS is how EST Gee should've handled the topic when he got asked about his football career
Did y’all know that Mello played w DC in highschool?
Why he got on a Marylin Manson tee shirt? I thought we cancelled him ?

@xSKY23
10 ай бұрын
He literally said he’s happy he got to play at that school but he doesn’t like when people bring it up because he didn’t even want to go anywhere with basketball, all he cared about is music so when people keep bringing up basketball when he’s trying to do music it gets annoying because he feels as if it overshadows what he is accomplishing now. It’s not that hard to understand ngl.
