NEFU DA DON

I first connected with Donlyn, known professionally as Nefu Da Don, through my good friend Mike Beck. Mike recognized the chemistry between us and suggested a collaboration, and from that initial call, our partnership grew into something much bigger a true friendship and creative bond.

Donlyn isn’t just a talented artist; he’s hip-hop royalty. He’s the son of the legendary Queen Pen, a trailblazing rapper from the ’90s, and iconic producer Teddy Riley, a pioneer of the New Jack Swing era. His brother, Quentin, is the son of Darren “Buffy” Robinson from The Fat Boys, placing Donlyn at the crossroads of hip-hop’s golden age and its future.

Together, Donlyn and I became one of the first acts to hit 1 million views in 24 hours on WorldStarHipHop, and we went on to become a staple on the platform, consistently delivering videos that fans couldn’t get enough of. Our work wasn’t just viral; it was culturally resonant, bridging the legacy of hip-hop royalty with today’s street-level authenticity.

Collaborating with Donlyn has been more than professional it’s been a journey through hip-hop’s deep roots and its evolving sound. Every project reflects his lineage, our vision, and the power of creativity grounded in history. Working with him has been both an honor and a statement: hip-hop’s past and future live in these collaborations.
