Donnis has brought something fresh to the rap genre that I haven't seen in a long time. His mixtape, "Diary Of An ATL. Brave", came into my possession and I've never looked back. For me to be a fan of a rapper, two things have to exist. One, a good background beat. Two, something that sets him apart from the others in a world of video girls and automatic rifles. Female backing vocals throughout the tracks is a nice addition too. Donnis is new. Donnis is fresh. From the mixtape, my favourite song is "Ticket To The Moon."
Beginning with might be scared to die but we ain't scared to fly, Donnis gives us a song of redemption and hope. The "ticket to the moon" is a journey to success and fame, and Donnis isn't coming back until he's achieved what he needs to achieve. This song is full of emotion you don't see coming from many other rappers, who might be afraid to "go there." Donnis goes there and never looks back.
The entire mixtape is a gem in its own right (along with a newer song in which he collaborates with Dev on, though we'll get to that later), but "Ticket To The Moon" gives Donnis the edge he needs to break into this industry. This boy is going places.
