Donnie James does all genres, so its very possible he did some hip-hop. He's been talking to Mike and them about putting out his first release, but its a slow process by his own personal design. He played a sampling of his tunes for me one day and every track was a different genre. All very very good.
I'll left a message for Donnie to ask if that was his. I'll keep you posted as soon as I know.
