Tommy sits down with Tracy Lynn Curry, better known as The D.O.C., one of hip-hop’s most influential yet often unseen architects. Born in Dallas, Texas, The D.O.C. played a pivotal role in shaping West Coast rap—helping lay the lyrical foundation for landmark projects alongside Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and N.W.A. during a moment when hip-hop was still finding its national voice.

Rather than disappearing, The D.O.C. pivoted—continuing to contribute as a writer, collaborator, and creative force behind some of the genre’s most important work.

Today, his focus is on legacy and impact. Through education, entrepreneurship, and youth development in Dallas, he’s working to ensure the next generation of creators understands not just artistry—but ownership, business, and purpose.This episode is a raw, honest conversation about talent, loss, faith, resilience, and what it really means to leave a lasting mark on culture.
