Friday's Five Random Questions with @Donwill

His name is Donwill. Not Don Will. Or DonWill. Just Donwill. And this year, he released one of my favorite albums, Don Cusack In High Fidelity. He's also 1/3 of Tanya Morgan. The Cincinnati native is dope and his music, whether a feature or his own project, is always fresh. I definitely dig what he does. Anyway, this week Donwill decided to take the challenge. Check out how he answered five random questions, after the jump.

Check It ... @ElleVarner "All I Want Is You" (rmx) feat. Miguel & J. Cole

Sometimes I see these types of tracks and just pass them over. But for whatever reason I hit play on this jawn and you know what, I kinda dig it. I'd like to hear more original stuff from Elle Varner but what she does to the Miguel and J. Cole "All I Want Is You" is pretty smooth. Check it out and you tell me. Hit up the comment section with your thoughts. CHEA!

FIRST LISTEN: Time Crisis

It's different. Unique. Interesting. But at the end of the day, I dig the project. It's what I would call alternative Hip-Hop. It's probably a classification that Time Crisis would maybe be apprehensive to accepting but their sound is outside the norm of what you expect in Hip-Hop today. And that's not a bad thing.

This project, which has a taste of spoken word and all cool ass beats, isn't gonna be for everyone. If you enjoy your music in a box (like in the radio or tv or something) stop reading now because this project is outside of that box. Like I said, it's unique. The duo are making music.

Overall, Time Crisis' self titled project is enjoyable. Check out "Bricks" off of the project.

Check It ... Dro Pesci "Ain't Tryna Get Knocked" (produced by Gee Wiz)

The homie Gee Wiz hit me with this cut from Dro Pesci that he produced. The rhymes and beat are both dope. Gee Wiz is crazy on the production tip. Check out the track and this recent interview with Gee Wiz.

Take Three: The Notorious B.I.G "Ready To Die"

"Get ready to die, tell God I said, "Hi""

Many writers, critics and fans alike are in their steadfast belief about Christopher Wallace's debut. Prolific, gritty, unabashed, and in songs such as "Juicy," "Big Poppa," and "One More Chance," it was an album that still is the gold standard for the Bad Boy sound. Debuts that have since come out focus more and more on the baller and player aspects of that Bad Boy aesthetic, but again, B.I.G. set the standard, and in turn charted his own destiny.
