Today marks the first release off the upcoming Donnis project, Southern Lights. More to come about the project in the coming days. The song samples Mista’s southern soul anthem of the same name, Initially, producer Crada came up with the idea and beat. When Organized Noize, the original producers of the record and the genius behind some of our favorite Outkast and Dungeon family records, hit the studio with Donnis and heard it, they jumped right in, co-producing the song and making sure it lived up to the original version.

Says Dan: As many of you have probably already seen while watching ESPN in the morning, Adidas has chosen Donnis’ song “Gone” to lead their new Adicolor campaign. Be on the lookout for the commercial to begin airing during some of your favorite primetime shows in the coming weeks. This comes on the heels of Donnis wrapping up his tour with Bruno Mars. He is currently in the studio working on his debut album on Atlantic Records.
My home slice Ashely caught up w/ Donnis after he opened up for Lauryn Hill down in Miami last night!
While Donnis was in Miami for The University of Miami’s homecoming last night, I caught up with him right before he hit the stage to open up for the legendary Lauryn Hill! He talks about how he feels about this opportunity, The tour he is about to hop on with Bruno Mars, & His upcoming album, features/production.. The show was dope! Donnis hyped up the crowd with his crazy stage energy then right after him, Lauryn Hill blessed the UM Lawn with her presence! She did an amazing job, she had so much energy and gave us a memorable performance! Last night is what we call EPIC.
Donnis, Dan, where’s this In For The Kill video? Who cares, this one is shot my BBGun. Great single from his Fashionably Late EP. Always say ‘yeaaahh’ like he does 46 seconds in.

Fittingly enough only DGTLXWW would bring you commentary from Georgia’s native son, Donnis, on his first trip to Miami, Florida. Here Donnis speaks about Fashionably Late as well as upcoming projects as well as his thought on Miami so far.
With Fashionably Late coming fashionably later than initially expected (don’t worry, it’s really coming, June 22), Donnis decided to hop in the studio w/ 2 of Atlanta’s most respected DJ’s Infamous and Holiday and knocked out “The Invitation.” The collection contains mostly freestyles, and a few original records featuring some of Donnis’ ATL associates, recorded all in ONE WEEK. Here is the trailer for the mixtape, hitting the Interwebs June 1.
