First things first:
is a rapper both as a solo artist and one half of Tanya Morgan, and also a producer/comedy guy/DJ/the host of the Webby Award-winning Almanac of Rap podcast, whose third season is dropping August 1 courtesy of Okayplayer. He is also, unbelievably, the latest guest on the Nersey podcast, AND THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO FREESTYLE ON THE POD LIVE IN STEEL TIPPED DOVE’S STUDIO.In this episode, we talk about the following things: will.i.am making an AI, doing man-on-the-street interviews, the legacy of the Okayplayer message boards, the time he got kicked off a couch so Kanye could sit on it, the marriage of convenience between certain corners of hip-hop and the Republican establishment, and, obviously, how the game still needs Lil Mama.
Stay tuned for the end of the show (or fast forward to the end, whatever) to find Donwill kicking a pair of freestyles to Cam’ron’s “Get ‘em Daddy” and 100 gecs’ “Money Machine,” both of which are absolutely perfect and the ultimate manifestation of the five mics mentality which is a thing I just made up.
TIME TO PLUG DONWILL’S VARIOUS PROJECTS: The new season of Almanac of Rap drops on August 1; that night he’s also DJing at Elsewhere with Hannibal Burress. Listen to his East Village Radio show, Too Much Rap, Wednesdays at 10am on eastvillageradio.com. Tanya Morgan is dropping a new album on August 26 and it will be good. He does other things too so follow him on Twitter and Instagram to find out more.
Nersey is hosted by Trey Smith, Slava P, and Drew Millard; our producer is Steel Tipped Dove and our music is by Craig S. Jenkins.
