DFC was a hip hop duo originating from Flint, Michigan, composed of Alpha "Al" Breed and Bobby "T-Dub" Thompson. The group, whose name stands for Da Funk Clan, maintained a close association with MC Breed, Al's cousin.

Their first joint project with MC Breed, titled MC Breed & DFC (1991), climbed to number 142 on the Billboard 200 chart and featured the popular track "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'". Afterward, DFC secured a deal with Big Beat Records, a division of Atlantic Records, and released their most commercially successful album, Things in tha Hood (1994), which reached number 71 on the Billboard 200. This album included singles such as "Caps Get Peeled" and "Thing in tha Hood". Their last studio release, The Whole World's Rotten (1997), was issued via Penalty Recordings. The duo disbanded in 1999 following their participation on MC Breed's album It's All Good.
