Title : More Life
Release Date : March 18, 2017
Label : OVO Sound

Drake drops the More Life album, speaking directly to my life. His uncle looks like a darker skinned Donald Grefe – who filled the role as “uncle”, and eventually “dad”, for me, for a while. The Toronto, Ontario Northern artist has been a part of the journey since I started recording music. I don’t know how long he’s known I’m God, and that the industry has sucked and siphoned whatever they possibly could off me for their profit, but he knows something. My favorite project so far from Drake. Views played a role too, or “Once Dance” did at least.

Title : I Decided
Release Date : February 3, 2017
Label : GOOD Music

Big Sean, like Drake, put out an album this year – speaking even more directly about my story and struggles, and tying his life to ours. One of his best. Probably my favorite, for obvious reasons.

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment – “Surf”

Band : Ady Suleiman, B.o.B., Big Sean, BJ The Chicago Kid, Busta Rhymes, C-Sick, Cam Osteen, Chance The Rapper, D.R.A.M., Donnie Trumpet, Eric Butler, Erykah Badu, Eryn Allen Kane, Francis Farewell Starlite, Ilan Kidron, J.

Title : Surf
Release Date : May 28, 2015
Label : SaveMoney, The Social Experiment

Donnie Trumpet and Chance The Rapper‘s group The Social Experiment piece together a beautiful and complex work of art for the city – Surf (May 28, 2015). The gang is getting more clouted up now, so they were able to get some other rappers on there too. More than anything, this shows a bright future for Hip Hop in a land that could use some shine. The trumpeter is a coo nuance.
