Legendary MC and ghostwriter The D.O.C. has a documentary premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer. The documentary, simply titled titled The DOC, is directed by David Caplan and it chronicles the Dallas, TX rapper’s life and career in the late 1980s as a platinum-selling recording artist on Eazy E’s Ruthless Records, a ghostwriter for fellow Ruthless stars Dr. Dre, Eazy E and N.W.A., and as a co-founder of the infamous Death Row Record label in the 1990s.

Born Tracy Curry, The D.O.C. has one of rap's most harrowing and uplifting stories of perseverance. The film, clocking in at a little over an hour and a half, will detail D.O.C.’s journey to stardom and the fateful car crash that crushed his larynx, effectively ending his career as a vocalist, only months after the release of his classic and critically-acclaimed 1989 debut album No One Can Do It Better.

The DOC is part of the 2022 annual Tribeca Film festival, held on June 10 at the Beacon theatre in New York. There will be additional screenings held at Cinepolis on June 11 and Village East on June 18. After the world premier, there will be a concert celebrating D.O.C's 54th birthday with performances by Tha Dogg Pound and D.J. Quik as well as other surprise guests. This years festival also includes Jennifer Lopez's Halftime documentary as well as Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby.
