From church pews in Northampton to crowds in Zimbabwe, DC3 is more than just a popular TikTok artist; he is a devout musician who is setting a new standard for UK rap. Through ingenious videos, marketing styles and polished sound, he has transformed from a local worship freestyler to Christian hip-hop's breakout star, amassing 450K Instagram followers and 240K TikTok fans in the last year.
His New Micheal Jackson, Bad-Inspired Single
DC3’s latest single with his unique rapping style, channels the swagger and groove of Michael Jackson’s “Bad.” He flips it into a spiritual anthem:
“I’m not about the noise, I’m about the message,” DC3 told Mixtape Madness. “I used that sound to show you can be bold about your faith without being watered down.”
Even though the beat nods to MJ’s style, DC3 infuses it with gospel-rooted lyricism, setting a bar for genre-faith music.
How He's Mastered TikTok Marketing
DC3’s success is built on his intelligent tiktok strategy
It turned his single “I Know” into a hit, and “probably the best UK artist at such a young age” in SoundCloud comments.
Young And Faithful
DC3’s spiritual grounding isn't an afterthought, it's his whole life. After converting openly to CHristian rap in 2022, he shrugged off secular temptations.
It was tempting to go worldly, but I keep reminding myself: I’m doing this for God,” he says in Trench Club. “Pride isn’t the purpose.
At just 18, he’s already earned 330K monthly Spotify listeners, and tracks like “I Know” are nearing millions of views.
Inspired by artists such as Kendrick Lamar, JID, and Little Simz, his musical fusion of gospel, jazz, soulful rap, and reflective lyrics is infused with his own conviction. His sound has the edge to attract rap purists, but his message resonates deeply.
Final Take
DC3 is proof that you don’t need hype or secularism to spark attention. With one nostalgic beat, one TikTok strategy, and one unshakeable faith, he’s redefining what it looks like to bring God into rap culture.
