9:22Now PlayingEntrepreneur, artist, lawyer and rapper Mekka Don joins “Start Your Day” with Mike Hill to discuss his brand new single, “Still Dope." Mike Hill asks the musician what the song means to him.
“Going through the pandemic, I went through some personal issues, I went through a surgery that kind of sidelined me for a bit,” Don explains. “Then there was the election, the protests [and] the murder of George Floyd, there was just a lot going on, and just talking to a lot of people around the nation... I just felt like a lot of people were hurting. Ultimately, I felt like I needed to do something to make people feel good, even if it’s just for three minutes.”
The message, Don explains, is that no matter what people have gone through, they are still standing and “still dope.”
Mekka Don and Mike Hill talk about his career, protests and the kind of messages Mekka Don’s idols would send today.
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
