Donny Goines and Dame Grease Talk New Projects

Donny Goines spoke on his recent work on the studio and upcoming releases, Man, right now, Im hard at work on the album. The album is titled Minute After Midnight, the title derives from the whole Cinderella story. It really means dont expect any fantasy rap [laughs]. The whole premise of Cinderella is that she had a magic pumpkin and whatever, and all that fantasy shit, and after midnight all that disappeared. So all of the fantasy rap, all the bullshit thats saturating the airwaves right now, all thats disappearing and this album is just me. Just speaking on whatever is out there. I mean I got Dame Grease, executive producing the album, and I plan to initially do 50 to 60 tracks. Also, I have a few J.R. Rotem tracks that Ive been working on. Also, Ive been talking to a few labels and something should be in the works in a couple of months. I got the Excerpt Pg. 2 coming out, thats supposed to drop early in the summer. I got Off the Books: the West Coast Edition about to drop. I actually am dropping an EP exclusive with HipHopDX entitled The Non-Fiction EP. Basically Im just working really hard with various projects, and towards mid-April Im going to be releasing a lot more music. Just make sure you grab The Non-Fiction EP exclusively on HipHopDX.

Donny Goines also had time to share his thoughts on some producers on The Non-Fiction EP, All the producers on there, the contest essentially got me in touch with them. I didnt know any of them, but man, out of all the submissions, I picked the best of the best. And believe me theres a lot of good talent out there. Quincy Tones, from London, you know. From the South, DJ Primate, of PCP Muzik, out of Memphis, he kills the pads, I mean we got Metro Beats out of Cali. As far as a favorite track, Id probably say Held it Down, Quincy Tones came through with the production, and I like that one because it really speaks about things that I went through in my career, that were really hard, and how I basically just held it down. When you listen to it in full, youll understand, but I just made a lot of songs about the present, past, and future. Its a great project period. Expect big things from these producers.

Dame Grease had a few words on his upcoming projects, The album, Goon Musik Vol. 1, is something classic, its just timeless. Its funny because a lot of people didnt know I started out doing my Sour Diesel stuff, and I mean the Goon Musik album is just coming out as a series. Its actually the exact opposite of whats going on in hip-hop right now. Its the street music that started the game. I mean same as DMXs first album, its all Goon Musik. I return to the mic, but just to let you know and to make it clear, Im not rapping, Im not spitting, I got niggas that do that. Im just a hood narrator. Im just doing what needs to be done, spitting that street slang.

Also, expect a mutha-fucking movie, because theres going to be a movie.

Keep it locked on HipHopDX for more info on Donny Goines and Dame Grease, and keep it locked to pick up Donny Goines newest EP, exclusively from HipHopDX, which drops Monday, March 31^st.
