The studio was founded by Doug Grama and David Lotwin, and a label of the same name (D&D Records) was created from the studio in the 1990s. The recording studio managers were David "Carpi" Carpenter and Paul Twumasi. In 2003, one of the most famous D&D Studios producers, Gang Starr's DJ Premier, bought D&D from its owners and renamed it HeadQCourterz in honor to his friend with the same name who died the same year.
