**DFC** was an American hip hop duo[1] composed of Flint, Michigan natives Alpha "Al" Breed and Bobby "T-Dub" Thompson. They were closely associated with [MC Breed](/source/MC_Breed) who was also Al's cousin.[2]

DFC stands for Da Funk Clan.[2]

MC Breed and DFC released their collaborative debut album on November 11, 1991 entitled *[MC Breed & DFC](/source/MC_Breed_%26_DFC)*, which charted at number 142 on the [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200) and featured their most successful single, "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'".

After *MC Breed & DFC*, DFC signed with [Atlantic Records](/source/Atlantic_Records) and were placed on their subsidiary [Big Beat Records](/source/Big_Beat_Records_(Atlantic_subsidiary)).
