SURPRISE!

It’s ATD29!

The brand new action packed mixtape from ME, your friendly neighbourhood Don! 13 brilliant new songs! On which you’ll mostly find me spitting scriptures over production by OTHER PEOPLE THAN MYSELF (apart from a couple of white hot ATD productions) including Mike Will Made It, Young Chop, Boyz Noise, Erol Alkan, Blockhead and many more, about 60% of which were suggested by YOU!

So thank YOU for your great ideas!

There are also a fistful of star turn guest vocal appearances from the UK’s biggest rap star Big Narstie and grime legend Footsie! AND! A very special guest appearance from cover star and BRAND NEW HUMAN Hercules Jan Narkiewicz!

ATD29 was written and recorded a few weeks back in the space of 29 hours after I packed off my girl and our brand new baby boy to auntie Nonny’s and had a slab of hash delivered by Royal Mail. PRAISE BE UNTO THE POSTMEN.

Click here to download the MP3 bundle and FLAC, and order the CD and luxury ART PRINT!

We’re having a special live DONCAST on Youtube tonight at 8pm UK time, so come on down and celebrate with us! It’s a good day! The pedo whisperer has been forced out of popedom, as predicted by my new single, One More Pope To Go! Joy to the future!

Anyway! I hope you enjoy this fine release! Hold tight for the first video from the project in a few hours. And let me know what other beats you’d like to hear me on in the future!

PAX!

Akira The Don x Footsie – End of The Road

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Glory be unto man! Grime Legend and Five Star Newham G Footsie just dropped his genere stretching ZOOT BREAK 2 project, and I am proud to announce that I produced the beautiful and evocative final song, End of The Road. Ch ch ch ch ch-ch check it out!

I told you sloop was the wave! Shout out Brain Wilson, all day ee’rday.

Download the whole projct via SBTV here. It is an amazing, highly skilled, highly accomplished and highly advanced art work. Shout out the main man Footsie, the fine folks at Braindead Entertainment (and their dope ass skull logo), and the producers behind the significant sonics that make this one of the flyest things you’ll hear all year, Skitz Beats, FuntCase, and the amazingly monckickred Filth Collins. Oh, and Footsie again of course, cos he’s a rapping producer don like me. HIGH FIVES ALL ROUND!

Stream the whole thing below, along with the sample I kicked off End Of The Road with. Oh, and here’s me and Foots’ last collaboration, the legendary WEIRD AND CREEPY!
