Early Life & Education

DC The Don, born Daijon Cotty Davis on August 3, 1999, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, grew up in a close-knit family rooted in African American heritage.

His mother, Tamika Davis, raised him single-handedly in Milwaukee until he was 16, while his father, Marcus Cotty, remained a supportive but less public figure in his early life. He has no publicly known siblings.

A practicing Christian, Davis was influenced by gospel music in his household, which subtly shaped his emotional delivery in later tracks. He began writing songs at age 8, often inspired by family gatherings where music—from Michael Jackson to local church choirs—filled the air.

After relocating to California at his mother’s urging to pursue his basketball dreams, he attended Chino Hills High School, graduating in 2018, before fully pivoting to music.

Career

DC The Don began his music career in 2017 while still a standout basketball player at Chino Hills High School. That summer, he released his debut single “Everything 1K” on SoundCloud—a gritty trap anthem that quickly gained traction locally and online.

Two years later, his viral track “3AM Freestyle” (2019) propelled him into the spotlight with its blend of emo-rap melodies, raw emotion, and booming 808s, establishing the foundation of his signature sound.

Following a highly publicized split from Run Music LLC, which sparked the viral #FREEDC movement, he signed with Rostrum Records in 2020.

His breakout mixtape Come As You Are (2020) showcased his ability to merge trap, punk, and rage influences into a cohesive sound. The standout single “Jesus Can’t Save You” amassed millions of streams and placed him on the radar for XXL’s 2021 Freshman List.

He deepened his artistry with the Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart 2 mixtapes in 2022, exploring themes of trust, mental health, and perseverance through songs like “Enemies” and “Scott Pilgrim.”

His official debut album, F.U.N.E.R.A.L. (2023), marked a turning point, debuting at #47 on the Billboard 200 and featuring the viral TikTok hit “REROUT3.” His dynamic performance at Rolling Loud Miami that same year further cemented his reputation as a commanding live act.

In 2024, DC pushed creative boundaries with Rebirth, his most experimental project yet, fusing hyperpop synths, punk energy, and live instrumentation.

The lead single “PSYCH OUT” earned placement on Spotify’s RapCaviar playlist, while the Cole Bennett–directed video for “HIGHLIGHTS” surpassed 10 million views in its first week. He capped off the year headlining the Rostrum Records Showcase in Los Angeles and teasing a rock-inspired EP set for 2025.

DC The Don continues to redefine the sound of modern rap with his fearless experimentation, emotional honesty, and larger-than-life presence. Standing 6’7”, he commands stages across North America, consistently selling out mid-size venues and captivating a loyal fan base as he prepares for his next chapter in music.
