Finding my voice: A conversation with Tracy ‘The D.O.C.’ Curry

***A heads up: This episode contains strong language and unbleeped swearing***

Tracy “The D.O.C.” Curry is the OG of hip-hop, one of the originators of the genre itself. In 1989, a horrible car accident damaged his vocal cords at the height of his career. On this episode of Homegoings, Tracy shares how he found his voice and his purpose again on the other side of tragedy.

Homegoings is a production of Vermont Public. Follow season 2 here.

This episode was reported and mixed by Myra Flynn, with help from associate producer James Stewart, and edited by Saidu Tejan-Thomas. The music was composed by Myra Flynn, Tim Sonnefeld and Miles Hooper. Elodie Reed is the graphic artist behind our Homegoings artist portraits.
