6 YEARS AGO, HIP HOP LEGEND, DARRYL, ‘DMC’ MCDANIELS FOUND OUT HE WAS NOT WHO HE THOUGHT HE WAS.
HE GREW UP IN QUEENS, AND BECAME ONE -THIRD OF A LEGENDARY HIP HOP GROUP, RUN DMC. STILL SOMETHING WAS MISSING, BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
WHAT HE CAME TO FIND OUT WAS, HE WAS ADOPTED.
ALTHOUGH, LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, DMC WAS TAKEN IN AND LOVED BY HIS ADOPTIVE PARENTS, DMC FELT AS THOUGH THE LIFE STORY HE KNEW DIDN'T START AT THE BEGINNING, IT STARTED AT CHAPTER TWO. HE NEEDED TO FIND HIS CHAPTER ONE.
THE SONG ‘JUST LIKE ME’ DEALS WITH HIS DISCOVERY STRUGGLES, AND CLOSURE ON THE MATTER. FEATURING VOCALS BY THE ANGELIC, GRAMMY WINNING SINGER SARAH MCLACHLAN, THIS REMAKE OF THE HARRY CHAPIN SONG, ‘CAT’S IN THE CRADLE,’ IS DMC'S WAY OF REACHING OUT TO THE WORLD TO SHED LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT OF ADOPTION AND INNER STRUGLE.
SEND IN AN IMAGE OF YOURSELF, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, LOVED ONES, ADOPTED, OR NON-ADOPTED. THE MESSAGE OF THIS SONG IS THAT THE DETAILS OF OUR STRUGGLES MAY BE DIFFERENT, OUR PAIN IS THE SAME. THIS IS WHY DMC FEELS THAT HE IS LIKE YOU, AND YOU ARE IN FACT, “JUST LIKE ME” YOUR IMAGES WILL BE SHARED ACROSS THE GLOBE!
