"Cause She's My Dope Girl"

Song: Dope Girl
Artist: Donnis
Album: Leaders of the New Cool (Mixtape) (DOWNLOAD!!!)

Who Is Donnis: Donnis is a little shortie from Atlanta who's not afraid to show an affinity for Vespas, but hasn't gotten too hype(beast) to wear a white tee and a basic fitted. He was recently featured on Mic Boogie and DJ Treats' mixtape, Leaders of the New Cool, with his song Dope Girl. You might have heard of it, I featured it on the blog about a month ago, and made everyone who I ride with in the car listen to it. It's a get-hype song that is a far cry from Soulja Boy mess because it makes sense and it's fun. I swear this song is like the 2009 version of "Around the Way Girl." (and I mean that in a good way)

"She knows that you can see it, she you boys enjoy it/she knowin that she dope, and she know you wanna snort it"

Why You Should Love Him: His lyrics make sense and they're fun and light, it's bubble gum rap that's nicely packaged and not too sugary. (*ahem* Jibbs) He raps about stuff he knows, being a teenager, gettin at girls, ridin around with nothin' to do. He's never gonna be a heavy rapper, that's just not him, and personally during the recession I don't need any body droppin' music. Lemme just reminsice about passing notes in high school and bein' dope. He's a true country boy with that flashy mentality that's ready made for Atlanta. His flow is pretty good, it isn't perfect but it's definitely practiced, although on some songs he does leave you wanting. On other songs he DEVLIVERS, like the songs Ghetto Blaster and L.O.V.E. All he needs is a famous singer on one of his catchy hooks and it's over...I predict it. Coming to a market friday near you.

Extra Bonus: His production is MEAN! DJ Benzi is effing ridiculous. It's a bunch of electro bass mixed with some great great drums (lemme stop acting like I know what I'm talking about here) but I'm telling you, if you could get these beats even without him rapping on them you'd be happy.
