NEW YORK — Nothing tricky about Run-DMC rapper Darryl McDaniels’ passion for transforming the lives of foster children.
For nearly two decades, the pioneering rapper from Queens has made it his mission to inspire, educate and entertain New York City kids in the foster care system through his nonprofit The Felix Organization, which hosts an annual summer camp devoted to giving kids formative experiences.
“Some of them never get to leave the neighborhood. Some of them never get to leave the block. What Camp Felix does is this: It shows the kids the beauty of the world that they live in,” McDaniels, 58, who uses the stage name DMC, told the Daily News on Wednesday ahead of a talent show for the camp.
