On the surface, DDm’s (Dapper Dan Midas) newest single, ‘1984’, might seem like a departure. But if you follow DDm’s career you know that the song makes perfect sense for both his catalog and sensibility. DDm loves him a good singer/songwriter Pop/Rock tune, and that’s just what ‘1984’ is.

Like a summer breeze in fall, DDm is bringing the sunshine for the holidays.

“For me, that's that's one of my favorite things to do is to be supportive. Like and I mean, I just enjoy, you know, just sparring back and forth with those legends. Like, with people who, you know, are the reason that I do what it is that I do and with many of whom just feel unsung or, you know, underappreciated.”

To promote the book the veteran MC appeared on his compadre QuestLove’s podcast, QuestLove Supreme. It’s a great listen!
