D-Roc has been a close friend of The Notorious B.I.G.: Career and other details
Damion and The Notorious B.I.G. had known each other since their childhood days, as per USA Today. Notably, Roc owned unseen footage from the time he spent with the artist, also known as Christopher Wallace, and it was featured in a documentary titled Emmett Malloy’s Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell, which aired on Netflix around three years ago.
In an interview with USA Today in 2021, D-Roc opened up on why he decided to share it with everyone, saying that Wallace’s former manager, Wayne Burrow, wanted to know more about Christopher. He addressed the same by saying:
“The fact that he really wanted to know who Chris was – he wanted to know who the artist before the rapper was. He was interested in everything that I cared about, that Wayne cared about, our team cared about, so that’s why I trusted to give him what he needed to pull this off.”
Apart from his friendship with Wallace, D-Roc launched a record label called Bully Music, per Revolt TV. While he has helped many artists start their careers over the years, he found a lyricist, Chris Matic, in 2018 and released Matic’s single Calories the same year through his company.
Chris told Revolt TV that the song inspired him to mix his feelings with the record and decided not to let go of the “signature sound.” He further stated:
“I never sampled it, I never wanted anything, I didn’t want to remake it; I just wanted to contribute my essence to what they did. It came out great.”
In addition, D-Roc owns a restaurant named Farm House Poconos, as stated by All Hip-Hop. Furthermore, he has even launched a clothing line called Invisible Bully. However, detailed information on his early life and educational background remains unknown.
