D Collins The Quiet Storm Behind the Mic and the Movement

From the birthplace of some of hip hop’s rawest voices—Queens, New York—rises an artist who refuses to be boxed in. D.Collins isn’t just creating music; he’s crafting a narrative that echoes hustle, hope, and honesty.

Starting in the legendary Jam Master Jay’s studio, his first project was rooted in greatness. That early energy paved the way for him to record in Manhattan, linking with major players like Uncle Murda. By 2022, D.Collins was officially signed to Concore Entertainment / Sony Music Group and dropped the single “Yeah,” making it loud and clear—he wasn’t here to play.

Now, in 2025, he’s back with something fresh: his latest single “OLong”—a smooth but powerful track that’s already getting love across platforms. But music is just part of the journey. D.Collins is balancing life on multiple levels—from working in a lab on the meningitis vaccine to spending downtime fishing, hitting the gun range, and then zoning out in the studio till the city sleeps.

Through everything—homeowning challenges, politics, and even the complexities of the pharmaceutical world—he’s kept the focus sharp. Inspired by Nas, Nipsey Hussle, and Travis Scott, his music is meant to motivate. “Don’t run through your future just to revisit the past,” he says. Every lyric is a reminder that tomorrow isn’t promised, so make today count.

His songwriting process? It’s all in the head first—verses and hooks repeated for days before he even hits Pro Tools. Then it’s go-time. Revisions, recordings, and a final mix that captures exactly what he wants the world to hear.

The dream collab? Pharrell. And from the sound of it, that link-up might just happen sooner than later.

D.Collins is proof that you don’t need to be the loudest to be heard—you just need to be real. The music, the mission, the message? All authentic. All necessary.
