Audio: DC The Don – “Tell Shyanne 2” ft. Jace!
The 2023 XXL Freshman Remixes His Fan-Favorite Single With Help From a Fellow Digital Native, as He Prepares For the Upcoming “(P)REBIRTH Tour” in October
Critical Praise:
2023 XXL Freshman – 10th Spot Winner
“Not only can he sing with so much emotion behind his words, but he also knows how to masterfully rap as well as switch up his cadences constantly, always keeping you guessing about what he’s going to do next.” – Lyrical Lemonade
“Los Angeles by way of Milwaukee’s DC The Don is part rapper, part rockstar, excelling in the melodic and riotous lane popularized by cult heroes like Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd.” – Audiomack
The Song:
DC The Don endeared himself to a loyal legion of fans with his soaring melodies and strong conceptual storytelling. Continuing a saga that started earlier this summer, DC remixes a recent fan favorite with “Tell Shyanne 2,” featuring Jace!. Equal parts come-on and kiss-off, “Tell Shyanne” stands out in DC’s ambitious catalog, bringing jazzy electric piano and R&B chord changes as DC tells a recent ex to delete his number forever. “Tell Shyanne 2” welcomes Jace!, a fellow underground hero, whose winding melodies and clipped, freeform cadences support DC in his emotional battle with Shyanne. The song also features a flex-heavy new verse from DC, in which he hops from his Maybach to a Fashion Week showcase, refusing to pick up Shyanne’s repeated calls.
“Tell Shyanne 2” arrives shortly after DC announced his “(P)REBIRTH Tour,” a short national sojourn embarking in October. Over the weekend, DC revealed that Jace! will be his special guest during his stops in Los Angeles (10/6), Oakland (10/8), and New York City (10/29). Stay tuned for many more announcements about the “(P)REBIRTH Tour,” including a full list of dates and more special guests. Tickets are available for the “(P)REBIRTH Tour” at LYFANDFRIENDS.co
2023 has been a breakout year for DC The Don, after spending years building one of the most devoted fanbases in rap music. His fans helped him win the coveted 10th Spot in the 2023 XXL Freshman Class. He demonstrated his off-top talent during his XXL Freshman Freestyle and stole the show in his XXL Freshman cypher alongside Luh Tyler, Rob49, TiaCorine and more.
In May, DC The Don released FUNERAL, his wide-ranging third album. A diverse and tuneful body of work, FUNERAL takes an immersive look inside DC The Don’s world of hard-edged raps and hyperpop melodies, skillfully blending the two sides of his personality that dominated each half of last year’s ambitious My Own Worst Enemy. DC took FUNERAL on the road this spring, when he served as support for $NOT on his “Get Busy Or Die Tour,” alongside Night Lovell and Eem Triplin. DC and $NOT recently collaborated for the SoundCloud-exclusive slapper “WHO THIS?”. Over the summer, DC turned up the heat at Rolling Loud Miami, performing a fiery set during his first-ever performance at the World’s Largest Hip-Hop Festival.
Stay tuned for much more from DC The Don in the near future.

The Background:
DC The Don is a rapper from Milwaukee, WI. In 2016, at the age of 16 and standing 6’7”, DC moved to Los Angeles to pursue a basketball career under Lavar Ball and alongside teammate LaMelo Ball. During this time, he fell in love with music and used his spare time to make experimental records which suddenly gained traction – As the public became increasingly aware of DC The Don’s talent for rapping, NBA player Lonzo Ball featured his song “Everything 1k” on the first Big Baller Brand shoe commercial, introducing DC The Don’s music to an even wider audience. DC signed to Rostrum Records in 2020, releasing his debut album Come As You Are on August 7th, generating over 125 million streams across platforms. The artist looks to reach another level with My Own Worst Enemy, his ambitious new album, available everywhere now.
