The D.O.C. was a member of the Fila Fresh Crew, which had four songs on the compilation album N.W.A and the Posse's Tuffest Man Alive. The band disbanded shortly after the album's release. Curry relocated to Los Angeles in 1989 and became acquainted with members of Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. He was involved in a near-fatal car accident five months later and spent 212 weeks in the hospital. His injuries necessitated 21 hours of plastic surgery, and he was unable to speak for a month.

By 1994, his solo debut, No One Can Do It Better, reached Platinum status. The D.O.C left Ruthless Records in 1991 along with Dr. Dre and Michel'le to sign with Death Row Records. He was a ghostwriter for several songs on Dr. Dre's first solo album, The Chronic. His name is mentioned by Snoop Dogg in the intro of Snoop's debut album Doggystyle. He also appeared on Eazy-E's "Real Muthaphuckkin G's", from his 1993 extended play It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa.
