ATLANTA – Popular Atlanta rapper, producer and entrepreneur Don P of Trillville is excited for fans to listen to some of the new projects he is working on including his new music and biopic movie about Trillville.
For Black Music Month, WSB Radio spoke to Don P about on his journey through his legendary career and the exciting projects he is working on.
Growing up in Decatur, rapper, Don P, whose real name is Donnell Prince, said music was a constant in his life and it inspired him to want to create his own music.
“I started recording tapes and brought them to high school to let them hear it and they thought it was dope,” he said. “My biggest influence growing up was Master P. I wanted to be more like a CEO. Master P, Timberland and Lil Jon inspired me to want to make beats.”
As a teenager, he worked at Best Buy and purchased a machine to make beats.
He formed the group Trillville with his friends LA and Dirty Mouth in high school.
“One year, I had to go to high school because I failed math by just one point. LA invited me out to a party and I saw him and other people perform, and we clicked,” he said.
