From the Block to Your Ears: Donnie Ozone drops “It’s Only Me”

Prepare for a fresh blast of that classic old-school flavor because Donnie Ozone is back with a brand-new single, “It’s Only Me (Featuring Duckett)”! From the moment you hit play, Donnie’s signature flow and lighthearted approach shine bright—like a boombox crackling on a summertime Brooklyn sidewalk. Clocking in at 78 BPM, this cut is perfect for listeners who love the timeless vibe of 80s and 90s hip-hop with a playful twist.

Donnie enlists ccmixter artist Ian Duckett’s upright bass to lay down a mellow, jazzy foundation. That organic low end bounces beautifully off Donnie’s crisp flow, all skillfully mixed by Joao Daniel and mastered by Gabbi Pereira. With its freewheeling groove, “It’s Only Me” transports us right back to hip-hop’s golden era, all while dishing out the freshest now vibes.

As a staple of the under-the-underground netlabel scene, Donnie’s hip-hop journey has been anything but typical. With 21 releases under his belt at blocSonic and appearances on 27 more for various blocSonic artists, he continues to innovate and collaborate far beyond the boroughs of NYC. You can also catch him on “Tha Bloc Report,” the monthly blocSonic podcast he hosts, keeping you up to date on all things netlabel.

If you’ve been following his groove, you’ll recall 2024 singles like “Three More Hours (Featuring Ketsa),” “Eyes Open,” and that remix of “My Reeboks.” Now, “It’s Only Me (Featuring Duckett)” keeps the momentum rolling with another witty and infectious track. Download it, crank the volume, and let Donnie Ozone’s lyrical sparks do the rest.

Many thanks for another dope one, Donnie… slammin’!
