For many Hip-Hop Heads, The D.O.C. is widely regarded as one of the most skilled lyricists and songwriters. A native of Dallas, Texas, the artist born Tracy Curry linked with Dr. Dre in the late 1980s to make history. After assisting with the writing on N.W.A.’s Grammy Hall Of Fame-inducted Straight Outta Compton, The D.O.C. would release No One Can Do It Better in 1989. Less than six months after that album was released, the MC was involved in a Ventura Highway automobile accident that nearly cost him his life, and forever altered his vocal cords. In a recent episode of The David Banner Podcast, D.O.C. came to Atlanta, Georgia’s Patchwerk Studios, to discuss his career. During the two-part discussion, the heralded rapper relived that night, providing some new information.
