DJ DMD

DJ DMD is a rapper, producer, and DJ from Port Arthur, TX. He was a member of the early Houston hip-hop scene and has worked with many artists, such as Fat Pat, Lil Keke, and DJ Screw. In 1998, shortly after Fat Pat’s death, DJ DMD released the song “25 Lighters”, featuring Pat and Keke. This became DMD’s biggest song to date and one of the most popular songs from Houston.

DMD grew up and went to the same high school as Pimp C, and eventually he became Pimp C’s mentor. They worked closely together throughout their high school years, and he was instrumental in helping Pimp get comfortable enough to start UGK with Bun B. He continued to work with Pimp C, producing songs such as “Three Sixteens”, “It’s Supposed to Bubble”, and “Comin' Up”.

In the mid-2000s, DMD decided to leave hip-hop and eventually found Christ. In 2012, he remixed his song “25 Lighters” and turned it into “25 Bibles” , which featured Bizzle and Jarrod Phillips, as an ode to his faith. He had also co-signed to PyRexx’s Workflo Mixtape vol. 1, which featured the song “Imma Get There” which featured P-Dub for the mixtape version and also featured Bizzle and Bun B on a later version.
