What up Donny.. how you feeling today?
Im doing good man, just taking it easy today.
What have you been working on lately?
Lately, I’ve been working on my music behind the scenes. Working with different producers, studios and things like that. I have also been performing and promoting myself.
Can you tell us what actually pushed you to drop that “Fuck New York” joint?
Well alot of things really but I guess you can say the straw that broke the camels back was when this promoter had told me I had to dress “Grown & Sexy” to perform at his show where DJ Funkmaster Flex and DJ Camillio were spinning. Of course I looked at him like he was a idiot and turned him down. That would have been a great opportunity for me and I knew at that point I had to speak on the issue.
The truth of the matter is I love New York city. Its my home, But the majority people that are representing us as a whole make us look bad. Not everybody in New York wears tight jeans and motorcycle chains. Not everyone in New York hates the South or imitates them and not all of us are followers and dickriders. All of these things made me write that song.
Since when have you got this great passion in rapping?
Since I saw the movie “Fade to Black” starring Jay Z. Watching that movie really ignited the passion within me and really motivated me. I wrote a song about it called “Inspiration” that very night. I always rapped and did music before but it was at that moment my life took a turn.
Whats your dream record label?
In all honesty, there are alot of labels I like for alot of different reasons but aslong as the money is straight and I can make music they way I make music Im good with any of them. If your reading this and interested make an offer.
