DONUTSSS by eu-IV
a remake of a personal favorite...
(Artwork by my lor cousin Linda!)
DONUTSSS is a passion-tape. Wanted to remake a personal favorite instrumental album. I was 32 years old when I started, Jay Dee passed at 32 so I figured it’d be a good challenge for me. Plus I was reading Dilla Time so it felt right,
Initially found Donuts when I was around 18 years old. I got put onto J Dilla through a Flying Lotus tribute of ‘Fall In Love’ then I found ‘Won’t Do’. That whole time period reshaped how I view my career as a music producer. It felt like I could freely express myself through instrumentals without the need for vocals. Fast forward I’ve connected with so many like-minding beatmakers/artists from all over the globe.

Ngl, making this was pretty interesting and physically draining. It took some willpower but I have no regrets. Featured on ‘airworks’ is my little brother Losvito! Bro is one of my favorite rappers of all time. Be on the lookout for more music from us! Thanks again to cuzzo (Linda) for doing the cover art for me! She is a raising star.

Peace to the Dilla and his loved ones. I don’t know where I’d be without the inspiration.
