It’s amazing and almost daunting how much hard work goes into an artist making a name for themselves and finally have their music get recognized by the public. So many times I think we, as fans and as people who appreciate music, forget that there's so much time (usually years!) that passes before an artist actually starts to get their shine. I've witnessed it first hand with Donnis and I feel like a ‘proud mom’ (not that i would know exactly what that feels like) when I see other people getting excited about his music.

But don’t doubt for a second that the journey is over. I guess that’s the beauty and curse of being an artist, the journey never really ends. There’s always going to be music. You just LOVE what you do and hope that people will appreciate it and ride with you for a long time to come.

With that said, Donnis recently he put me onto another Atlanta artist named Pill ("P-I-Double," also known as "Gangsta Pill"). Although he’s from the same city as Donnis, he comes from a totally different background & of course his raps follow accordingly. Other rappers can tend to glorify the hood, but Pill presents it in a real way, in his own style and original flow. Definitely something I know NOTHING about but you can always respect someone with originality and talent!



Think he’s just arrived on the scene? Think twice. The first time he recorded was at Stankonia at the ripe age of 17 in front of Big Boi from Outkast…and in his words, “the rest is history.”

This is his video that’s getting a lot of buzzzz on the ‘internets’ for his single, Trap Goin Ham (directed by Motion Family, same ppl who did Donnis’s Snack Packs). Side note: Here’s a crazy breakdown of the ‘real’ that went down during the shoot.

If you likey, download his mixtape, 4180: The Prescription.

Oh, and here’s a lil freestyle Donnis and Pill did last night at the East Village Radio to the Patna Dem instrumental.

jane likes...ehem LOVES DONNIS!!

"hello, i'm donnis!" :)

so the other day i posted the 'better version' of a song that is out on the blogs. now i'm here to tell you a lil more about a d-o-p-e artist about to POP off.


he goes by the name of donnis and he is from Atlanta. yes a country boy with city swag. he has an interesting background...stint in the air force, stationed in tokyo, started off his 'rap' career while in the military almost getting kicked out cause of it, etc. but more importantly, his talent/music speaks for itself.

donnis's music is definitely hip hop, but is infused with elements of pop, electro, rock, etc...making it at times, hard to categorize. it's been a long time coming (hard work pays off!!) but take for instance his single that's bout to drop on the radio (in a city near you!) very very soon! how would you categorize this?

take a listen to party works.

likey? check out his myspace for some more music. don't tell me i didn't warn you about donnis. yes, he's THAT guy. :) expect mixtapes and a buzz around him to come soooon.

so...mikey rocks x hollywood holt x dude royal's "this shit is easy" is out on the blogs.
