Donny goes the hell off on this one and the M-Phazes beat is crazy (reminds me of Freeway’s “Line ‘Em Up“). Looking forward to seeing him perform this at SXSW in a few days.
The homey Court Dunn is steadily becoming one of the top directors in independent hip-hop, and the way he’s going, he’ll soon be knocking out clips for some major label artists as well. I’ve highlighted some of his work on TAOD before, but in case you’ve been sleeping, check out this reel to see some highlights (and hear a crazy beat from Apple Juice Kid as the soundtrack).
Featuring Styles P, B.o.B, Camp Lo, Edo.G, Termanology, Donny Goines, Emilio Rojas, J The S, Silent Knight, Quite Nyce & SEEK
Director Court Dunn has become a prolific force behind the NYC hip-hop scene over the past year-and-a-half, releasing 27 music videos and countless other freelance projects. A frequent collaborator with Vimby.com, he has worked with such artists as Jim Jones, Clipse, Styles P, Camp Lo, B.o.B, Idle Warship, Termanology, Tanya Morgan, Edo.G, etc. and is known for his frequent collaboration with Same Plate artists Emilio Rojas, Donny Goines and J The S.

I told y’all these cyphers were breaking out everywhere down in Austin. This pretty much sums up the kind of vibe that SXSW carries…everyone was just down there having a good time and people were all about their music. Fabby Davis Jr. murdered this by the way.
Since my other job deals with music videos, I think TAOD is going to end up showcasing even more dope clips than I would have previously. Here’s the new one for Donny Goines’ “I Am Moving,” a track that premiered on MTVu earlier today. Fans of DMX’s It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot will remember the producer, Dame Grease, from “Get At Me Dog,” “Damien,” “Stop Being Greedy,” the criminally underrated classic, “The Convo,” and more.
You can help get the homey Donny into rotation on MTVu by voting for him right here. Support hip-hop and cast a vote against generic emo pop rock at the same time. Seems like a win/win to me.
Check out the brand new single from one of the nicest up and coming MC’s in the game, NYC’s Donny Goines. This will be on his debut album, Minute After Midnight, dropping in December. Get ready.
Ha, ironic that I mention I don’t really like a capella verses like this and I end up posting 2 back to back. Had to do it though. The homies Skyzoo and Donny Goines spit a little something for y’all in Manhattan for part 9 of Donny’s “Bars” series. I can’t wait to peep those projects Sky’s working on…
