DFC was an American hip hop duo composed of Flint, Michigan natives Alpha "Al" Breed and Bobby "T-Dub" Thompson. They were closely associated with MC Breed who was also Al's cousin.
DFC stands for Da Funk Clan.
MC Breed and DFC released their collaborative debut album on November 11, 1991 entitled MC Breed & DFC, which charted at number 142 on the Billboard 200 and featured their most successful single, "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'".
After MC Breed & DFC, DFC signed with Atlantic Records and were placed on their subsidiary Big Beat Records.
