D-Nice

**D-Nice**, born Derrick Jones, is a multi-talented artist who’s been shaping hip-hop culture since the late ’80s. Starting as a rapper and beatboxer for the iconic group Boogie Down Productions (BDP), he earned cred for his slick rhymes and production chops alongside KRS-One. His 1990 solo debut *Call Me D-Nice* became a hip-hop staple, blending boom-bap beats and socially conscious bars. Over time, he evolved into a legendary DJ, producer, and photographer, spinning for A-list celebs and events like the White House and NBA All-Star Weekend.

In 2020, D-Nice became a pandemic hero with his viral **Club Quarantine** Instagram Live DJ sets, uniting millions globally with feel-good mixes. Beyond music, he’s shot portraits for stars like Rihanna and Michelle Obama and directed for HBO’s *The Shop*. His recent collabs—like the soulful *No Plans for Love* remix with Snoop Dogg and Ne-Yo or the smooth *Rather Be* featuring Kiana Ledé—show he’s still masterfully bridging generations of sound. Whether on wax, behind the decks, or through a lens, D-Nice stays reppin’ hip-hop’s heart and hustle.
