The Making Of "Don't Mind If I Do"


To give one a perspective on how much work was put into the creation of this project, one must first understand the struggle of a kid coming up in a very low income house hold, with a full time job, and a crippling mental illness.
The amount of hours writing, trying to find that style that finally would fit the direction I was trying to move in, truly put myself to an ultimate test of sorts. At points I felt like I wanted to quit music, isolate my self from friends and family, and just turn everything off.
Another crucial aspect to emphasize the work that was bled into "Don't mind If I Do", was the money. I was broke as fuck, and had to save enough money to purchase a macbook pro, and mix/master/record everything ON MY OWN.
I had to seek permission from each producer on YouTube, Soundcloud, my own town, to record and produce this project for free.
Finding the motivation to do something like this, something you truly love, is incredibly hard when you're constantly being beaten down by the weather working outside, trying to perform your best at shows, and uphold a broken home.

I suppose that is what truly makes this project important to me, the fact that it was ALL me, done BY me. It helped prove that I could do anything if I worked hard enough, and it also has marked a new beginning for the sound of my music.
This project represents the turning point in my "career" I guess I would say, as I am considering rebranding, and regrouping, however the creation of this project has also represented my versatile ability, and even some melody and vocal work (I really enjoyed by the way).

The most important songs on this tape for me would probably be these three following:
White Man's God,
Keep It On The Low,
With The Wolves.

White Man's God was recorded in my living room, and I truly felt as though I had created a cinematic experience for it's listeners. It's intense change-up about 3/4's through the song reflected current events to do with Police Injustice, and the struggle of kids like my self, living in poverty, and resorting to violent crime, as quoted " fuck a five-O cause he's pulling out a heater, still wanted so he's running like a cheetah, out on bail like ALL HE WANTS IS SOME FREEDOM".

Keep It On The Low is pretty self explanatory, I was just insanely happy I could create the perfect song to " not give a fuck to " ... This song was made to reassure I wasn't going anywhere (as in anyone who runs their mouth, or tries to take this craft from me won't have any luck) ..

Finally we have With The Wolves, a song which is slower, and a little bit more of a melodic oriented song. This song allowed me to express my feelings towards the change in myself as an artist, and allowed me to accept that I don't need to stay grounded to one style, and how change is NECESSARY to succeed further, and break through your plateau...

I hope you guys enjoy this project as much as I did by the time of it's release, and I pray you feel like you're in my shoes for the length of time you are listening. Much love,
Sincerely Neyvone

Growing up, we all shoulder the burden of expectation. How we think things to be, and how they actually are. How we view ourselves, and how we can find our place in this strange society. This cat is ahead of his time, with a delivery and presence lyrically far beyond his years. Neyvone doesn’t want to be labeled and grouped as a certain style of artist, because he is still evolving. ... more
