The Resume

Since Shawn "Origix" Featherston and Tim "D.C." Patterson met in Jr.High School in September of 1993 their passion for hip hop music was undeniable; influenced by the golden era of Hip Hop, when Skills and variety where important, way before any Detroit Artist was known as a major player in the music industry.

The two, known as dedicated fans and artists of Detroit music needed to find another outlet to get others and themselves heard by the masses. At this time, Origix & D.C. took a break from recording their own music, putting their focus into enrolling in a Radio program at 89.3 WHFR.FM at Henry Ford Community College, the only radio station in the Detroit area who gave them any kind of air time.
