DMC? The man is straight legend status. No ifs, ands, or buts. We’re talking about a member of a band that changed hip-hop forever, permanently connected rap with sneakers, and influenced generations of lyricists. 

Darryl McDaniels joins Kweli and Jasmin Leigh this week on People’s Party with Talib Kweli and the conversation is big, sprawling, and deeply important. It covers everything from DMC’s ardent pro-Blackness (even when the industry wasn’t ready) to his rock influences to his love for comics (and everything in between!). 

Are you interested in real hip-hop? You want to know this culture right down to its roots? Then you don’t dare miss this episode.
