New "takin ' a walk" with Darryl "DMC" McDaniels
A True Legend
The Great Darryl “DMC” McDaniels on a new episode.
Listen here and follow.
This was one of the most incredible experiences in my career thanks to the amazing Lynn Hoffman. She put together an afternoon visit in her studio in the glorious Connecticut hills that gave us an opportunity to be with “D”, record “Music Saved Me” episodes along with a “takin’ a walk” episode and left us speechless and filled with gratitude. The Heart and Soul of “DMC” is on display here proudly.
I’m thrilled to share some exciting highlights from this latest episode.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we covered:
1. The Essence of Collaboration
Authenticity is Key:** DMC dives deep into what makes a collaboration truly work. It’s all about genuine connections and shared inspiration.
Iconic Moments:** Remember the groundbreaking "Walk This Way" with Aerosmith? DMC shares the behind-the-scenes magic that made this fusion of hip hop and rock a game-changer.
2. A Walk with John Lennon
Dream Collab:** Ever wondered who DMC would love to collaborate with? John Lennon tops his list! Imagine them strolling through NYC, discussing peace and artistic visions.
