Donaeo

Donaeo has been around for some time, and he has certainly been putting in the work over the last year. Everyone is loving this guy's tunes at the moment. His debut album is on the way, he's the King of Funky right now. I'm really looking forward to the album. Not many UK "vocalists" have got it right in the past, I think Donaeo is the exception. Akon has covered his records, he's laid vocals on the new Lethal B track, and he's not at all "wet" in my opinion. 'African Warrior' and 'Party Hard' are serious Funky anthems, but I hope you remember this classic - 'My Philosophy (Bounce)'



Check out the artwork below for his forthcoming album (VIA SEMTEX), the UK has seriously upped the levels in the last four years. Quality control is certainly at it's highest, and the output is strong. Obviously there is a mountain of crap as well, but if you switch on to the right channels and turn off the BS, you can find a lot of heavyweight UK product. A high bench mark has been set and the talent is certainly here, with the self-publicating tools available and the power of "New Media" people are putting in the Promo work and reaping the benefits.
