Darryl McDaniels, also known as D.M.C., was part of the group Run D.M.C. whose 1986 album “Raising Hell” (Profile Records) became the first African-American double-platinum hip-hop album.

 DMC older, wiser with solo debut
He wasn`t born Darryl McDaniels ('son of Byford, brother of Al'), but Darryl Lovelace, and for the five years after he found out, it messed with his head.

When he first sat down to write his 'Checks,' McDaniels, then 35, found himself hung up on the fact that he was playing what`s generally considered a young man`s game.
