[Tracklist + Download Link Inside]
Just so everyone knows, there was a leaked copy of this going around but we have the official right here. To top it off Donny has graced us with a track by track breakdown of this entire album after the jump. Enjoy!
Long story short, there were two main ideas with this project. The first was meant to show my versatile and how many artists can come together to make a dope project. The second was to showcase a "lighter" side of me, hence the name "The Breakfast Club". Here is a breakdown of the tracks....1) Don't You Prod. by Cook Classics
-Donny Goines
I wanted the first record to sample the classic song from the movie
and also to set the stage of the album. This is just an introduction
to me and the album.
2) Bring It Forward (New York, New York) Prod. by Versatile
This record is for my city. Plain and Simple. I love New York and as a
newcomer in the game coming from here I have to wave that flag. I got
the idea for this song as soon as I heard the intro clip from a Maino
listening party and as soon as Versatile played the beat I knew it
would be perfect for my album.
3) Whatever It Is (Ft. Mela Machinko) Prod. by Frequency
For this record I wanted to display a more eclectic vibe. With Mela
singing an incredible hook and me switching my flow up every 8 bars I
think it just come across very funky and fun.
4) Money (Ft. Mistah F.A.B) Prod. by DJ Static
This was a record that I had for awhile now. This is just the kind of
song where clever punchlines and delivery carry the song. I got alot
of respect for Mistah F.A.B and think me and him sound good on records
together.
5) Don't Mess with a Woman (Ft. Amanda Diva & Naledge) Prod. by Dub Z
For this record, I wanted to create a playful vibe. I got Naledge on
it first and then grabbed Amanda to speak from a females perspective.
It's really story based and light hearted.
6) Sublime (Ft. Peter Hadar & Outasight) Prod. by Buckwild
I went up to Buckwild's studio to listen to some tracks. When I first
heard this beat I thought it sounded very relaxed and mellow, and I
automatically got good vibes with it. Once I wrote my verses I thought
about artists who would fit the song and Outasight was the first
artist who came to mind. As far as the hook, I had just came from SXSW and saw Peter Hadar perform and knew he would also sound great on the record so that's where this one came from.
7) She Like (Ft. Che Grand & Izza Kizza) Prod. by Apple Juice Kid
This was a beat I've had my hands on for a long time. I knew I wanted
to make a song with it but needed the right artists and album to put
it on. I always had Izza Kizza in mind for this one and after seeing
Che grand rock one day I knew he would sound really good on it aswell.
8) Make Me Feel (Ft. Emilio Rojas) Prod. by Kwame
Emilio Rojas reminds me of myself in alot of ways. I like his flow and
think he's a very talented artist so I knew I wanted to get him on
this project. When I first heard this Kwame record he was the only
artist who came to mind. At first it was going to be a very lyrical
record but I changed the vibe to showcase a different side of me.
9) Oh No (Ft. Patent Pending) Prod. by The Government
This is probably one of my favorite records on the album for many
different reasons. Patent Pending is a great band that record in
Stadium Red alongside myself, so as soon as I heard this beat I
thought they would sound great on it. The point of this record, like
many others on this album is meant to be different. I didn't want to
play it safe so to speak and stay in my comfort zone. I wanted to
challenge myself and this record shows that.
10) What U Expected Remix (Ft. Rain, Termanology, Reks & Big Lou)
Prod. by Statik Selektah
Straight up, no nonsense Hip Hop. Plain and Simple.
11) A Love Song (Ft. Lydia Caesar & Skyzoo) Prod. by Digga
This record is one about my love for music. I had to get artists on it
who really show that and Skyzoo and Lydia were perfect choices for
that.
12) Closer Prod. by Dame Grease
Closer is a record that is meant to be interpreted by the listener.
I'll let you figure it out.
13) Digital Genocide (Ft. Planet Asia & Poison Pen) Prod. by DJ Snips
Here's a record for my underground heads. Planet Asia and Poison Pen
are two artists who I felt really complimented my dirty, grimy flow
and it ain't the kind of record that the mainstream would really
gravitate to in my opinion, but that's what makes it dope.
14) Grateful (Ft. Tanya Morgan & Jeremy Carr) Prod. by Cookin Soul
Grateful is simply a thank you to all the people who support. I got
Tanya Morgan on there rocking with me, I think they are a really dope
group and I love their vibe. Jeremy laid the hook and history is made.
15) Party Apple Prod. by Apple Juice Kid
Party Apple is another beat I've had in the stash for a long time now.
I was just waiting for the right moment to let it go. I love this
beat, and knew I had to do something with it.
16) Can't Get it Right (Ft. A.Pinks, Esso & 6th Sense) Prod. by 6th Sense
Shout out to 6th Sense. He really knows how to pick the right beat for
the right artist in my mind. Once I heard this I knew it would be
dope. At first it was intended to be a solo cut, but I felt I needed
different energy on it so I grabbed A.Pinks and Esso. It's just great
stroy telling in a humorous way.
17) These Times Prod. by Dub Z
I think this is the most serious cut on the album and probably my
favorite. I wanted to address this topic, but didn't want to sound
bitter or mad (because I'm not) so when I heard this beat I knew it
would be the perfect backdrop to do it. I think it gives you an idea
of where my mind is as an artist.
