DC The Don Shares FUNERAL (Deluxe) via Rostrum Records

The 2023 XXL Freshman Adds 7 New Songs, Including “OUT OF MY BODY” ft. 6LACK, to His Acclaimed Third Studio Album, as He Prepares to Launch the “(P)REBIRTH Tour” This Fall

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 Announcement:

Always focused on pushing his art forward, DC The Don never stays in one place for long. Today, the 24-year-old rapper shares FUNERAL (DELUXE), adding seven new songs to his acclaimed third studio album. The new deluxe edition marks a momentous occasion in DC’s career, as 6LACK becomes the first guest artist to ever appear on a DC The Don studio album. Their new collaboration, “OUT OF MY BODY,” seamlessly blends the aesthetic of the two artists, as DC floats over the percolating instrumental with ethereal melodies while 6LACK grounds the proceedings with soft-spoken relationship bars.

FUNERAL (DELUXE) continues the genre experimentation that marked the original, as many of the new songs draw inspiration from indie and alternative rock. “melatonin” finds the Milwuakee native in his feelings, emoting over acoustic guitars, and “My Jacket Don’t Fit You” rides a loping groove with sunny synths and electric guitar curlicues that would have fit right in with the late ’90s pop rock boom, and closer “i’m losing it” is cinematic and sweeping, featuring one of DC’s most passionate vocal performances to date. Also home to “Tell Shyanne” (over 1 million streams on Spotify alone), DC’s R&B-inflected recent single, which recently earned a remix with Jace! for “Tell Shyanne 2,” FUNERAL (DELUXE) is available on all platforms via Rostrum Records

FUNERAL (DELUXE) arrives shortly before DC embarks upon his “(P)REBIRTH Tour,” a short U.S. tour launching in October. Openers for the “(P)REBIRTH TOUR” include some of the most exciting rising names in underground rap music, including Jace!, who recently connected with DC for “Tell Shyanne 2,” Dom Corleo, Rich Amiri, and Soja Brat. The tour starts in Mesa, AZ on October 5th, with special guest Dom Corleo, moving through markets like L.A., Chicago, and Atlanta , before concluding in New York on October 29th. Tickets are available for the “(P)REBIRTH Tour” HERE

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.

Stay tuned for more announcements about FUNERAL (DELUXE) and the “(P)REBIRTH TOUR” very soon.

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.
