don yokk Perspective on Fly Or Die

After dropping out of The Art Institute at 19, it was 'Fly or Die' in a way of not understanding exactly where I wanted to be a decade later. This became more than a career; it became a lifestyle. 

Hip Hop lyrically; Alternative Rap/Rock when it comes to the instrumental & overall energy of the song. 

I've become more prounounced vibrationally. A unique flow and experience has been developed as opposed to a much more "nonchalant" flow in songs like 'Run 2 Da Fun' and 'Kkold' that dropped in 2020.

I'll say 'Run 2 Da Fun' and 'KKOLD' were melodies that are completely the same, one's just slowed down. Those were songs that I knew I had to make one day since I was a kid because the melody never left my memory bank. 'Rubberband Man' was actually the first rap song I ever remember hearing at 7 years old. Before that was gospel music, while being raised in a Christian household. 

Beyonce and Rihanna due to versatility of their and my art alike. Future for the energy, powerful knocks, and me personally finding pleasure in women. Sade, because she's Sade and understanding the truth of her music and stories gave me a place to say "come love me" as a sort of advertisement that I'm better than the men that broke her heart. A new "Smoove Operator."

Don Yokk, baby! I make music simply because it's fun and one of the only activities that ever really interested me to the point to where I had to keep going no matter how far I got; aside from sports, sex, and video games. Music allows me the outlet I need and crave to express myself and absolutely let loose. I also do this for the up and coming artists/brands who need help as well. Becoming a bigger brand ambassador/model is the goal and where I plan on expanding my empire and getting paid beyond my career as a recording artist. 

Alternative Hip Hop/Rap/Rock'n'Roll. Simply a means of story telling and manifestation blended into one elaborate package. 

Sade for sensuality.

'Fly Or Die' because it's the most excitement I've had so far on the microphone. 

Performances and riding round town with the speakers on max.

Action, adventure, spontaneity, heterosexuality, family and defending such. 

Sade Adu.

I grew up playing sports and video games. So the hostility, aggression, and passion for excitement come alive again taking me and listeners on a journey similar to the feels of being on/in the field again.

Bringing out Sade, Bey, Ri, Nicki Minaj, Future, Curren$y, and a gang of up and comers and current all stars to perform their features on my pieces.

The urge to let loose and feel free like Dom Torretto explained in 'Fast and Furious.'

Potent Poetic Powerhouse.

All the time. Constantly listening to my released works and watching myself perform in the mirror/astral projection. while doing the same with new works (especially when I finish a new beat).

What I can do for myself and others (especially my family). That is the measure to me.

Versatility and consistent excitement.

The choice of making the world a better place. Music controls us all. Consciously and subconsciously.

'Sympathy For The Devil' was on COD: Black Ops, as we pulled into the jungles of Vietnam on the boats preparing us for victory. It was a euphoric experience as a teen that never heard that song before. I'll never forget it. 

Feeling like I lost money that could've been spent in more progressive ways.

Been in the Food Service industry almost a decade now. Done a good amount of modeling as well.

Generate generational health and wealth; while using my recourses to help others do the same. "Each one teach one."

Hard to choose one.

The freedom of escaping from boring, basic adulthood duties. When I'm locked in, there's nothing that stands in my way and if it does, it eventually moves or gets moved. I put the same energy I have sex with, play sports and games with into my music. My heart is full of the pursuit of absolute freedom from things that hold me down; or try to at least. 

Everything and everyone can be used as a muse. Inspiration is everywhere.

Isolation to collect memories, thoughts, and feelings that have brought me joy throughout my life. I've given up so much and so many people to regain my peace and yes, it damn sure gets lonely ~ but the pursuit of happiness always is. I counteract by thinking on the Plus Side in pursuit of paradise. 

A positive disposition is the only way to progress and succeed. Keep your peace. No matter what.

I hate working like a sheep. Rather be a wolf. To be honest, at this point I'm a dragon now. "Fly or die" right?
