about
Don Newkirk is a producer and musician from New York City. He has released one album Funk City on Russell Simmons' short-lived Def Jam subsidiary label OBR in 1989 in which he played every instrument on the album. He also released the hit singles "Sweat You" and I Desire". In his own words: Maybe you remember my endeavors into the FUNK with my release FUNK CITY on DEF JAM records, or my feature on the classic Prince Paul cd "A Prince Among Thieves" where I covered the classic "Mood For Love". Some only know my voice, which resides in the collective subconscious of the hip-hop community of the world due to my infamous voice-overs on legendary hip hop albums such as De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising and 3rd Bass's "The Gas Face". Maybe you found Me through My production company SMOKIN HEADZ.....through which I've produced joints for- THE BLACK FLAMES, ALYSON WILLIAMS, CARON WHEELER, KEON BRYCE. My extensive backround in hip hop/music has awarded me with TONS of experience in production, engineering, etc..Unfortunately the "industry" only looks at charts to judge someones worth, when my true worth comes from years of hands on experience and feel !!! So if you need that soul, that funk, that feel good !! I'm your man !! My affiliation with best friend -n- legendary hip hop producer Prince Paul and our production company THE LORD BROS has been responsible for the projects "Bigger and Blacker" and "I Aint Never Scared" (Chris Rock), music for the movie "POOTIE TANG", sev
