A.N.Bio

Dykkon IsaR.A.N. is an up-and-coming hip-hop/rap mogul from Detroit. Dykkon took the name his late uncle gave him (Deacon) and changed thespelling in order to properly brand himself and set himself apart from othersin the industry; IsaR.A.N, stands for “is a real ass niggah” and furtherenforces his street credibility. Born Deon Cornell McWilliams inDetroit in 1971, Dykkon has lived and breathed the city his entire life. He graduated from Osborn High School and has attended Wayne County CommunityCollege. While he is currently pursuing his degree in business, he firstfound his love for rap and hip hop lyricism in middle school.

While attending Pulaski Middle School a classmate named Rodriquez challengedhim to a break dance/rap battle; Rodriquez won the dance-off so that pushedDeon to bring his “A-game” to class the next day and the rhymes he spit morethan delivered. Rodriquez didn’t even prepare and luckily enough theclass had a substitute that day that allowed Deon to spit his rhyme, cuss wordsincluded! The class went wild with applause and excitement after hisperformance and at this moment Dykkon IsaR.A.N, lyricist and MC was officiallyborn. Dykkon laid his first track in the world famous DiscStudio/Recording Institute of Detroit studio for $20/hour at the age of 14;That same summer, he met Jason Wilson, aka DJ Mystro a local DJ who was veryimpressed with Dykkon’s work, so much so that they collaborated on varioussongs and parties at that time Deon was calling himself D-Mack Moheem.

AfterDJ Mystro signed a deal with DJ Los and his father Carl Butch Smalls, the teamwas no more, Mystro left Deon, promising to get him a deal as well; howeverthis would not be. Dykkon’s first national exposure would come fromdoing back-up vocals for World One Records, while continuing to work with Mystro,providing a piano melody to his label mates though he was not allowed to lendhis vocal talents to the track due to his language use. The trackwas later sold by Mystro to A.W.O.L., becoming a Detroit classic; however,Dykkon was never credited for his work on this track.

Sincethat time Dykkon has co-wrote and co-produced with Dice and other artists likeKawtion (CEO of Paypa Boi Ent). In 1995 Dykkon started Ballin’ ChainRecords releasing “Jim an I” in 1997 a cassette single. Working with otherartists and labels through the years, in 2005 Dykkon started his own label, RedDiamond Consortium and has since released singles such as, “Boutta Crack DeyHeads” in 2008 and “Dime Piece$” 2012 distributed by UniMo DigitalDistribution(Universal Motown Republic).
