Biography

Darryl McDaniels is an American rapper and record producer who helped start Run-DMC, a group central to hip-hop's early years. Born in New York City and raised in Hollis, Queens, he taught himself to DJ in 1978 before Joseph Simmons, known as Run, urged him to rap instead. With Run and Jam Master Jay, he released Run-DMC's self-titled debut album in 1984. Their third album, Raising Hell, climbed to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The group wrote Christmas in Hollis in 1987. McDaniels put out Checks Thugs and Rock N Roll, his solo album, in 2006, started IME Records in 2011, and launched the comics imprint Darryl Makes Comics in 2014; its first book was DMC. He also wrote an autobiography released in January 2001, appeared in the documentary The People Speak in 2009, and added guest vocals to various rock and hip-hop records.
