Dontaé's "Get It" is a banger for the warm weather ahead. Featuring production by K Swisha, the bouncy track brings some new life after the 23-year-old rapper's debut release, the Fair Warning EP, this past February.
"Get It" was inspired by a former flame, Dontaé told The FADER in an email. "I decided to highlight all the qualities of the women I dated in the past and what I admired the most about them," he wrote, "showing my appreciation as they have help[ed] me with my understanding [of] what I truly would want out of a relationship."

Starting his new EP off with a heartwrenching reality, Dontae shows light on a topic that has been taboo in North America for a long time. Race wars in America have been damaging the lives of minorities, and it hasn’t been a priority to anyone in charge. Unfortunately, we are not strong enough (yet) to bring about change. But in solidarity, we will be able to help Dontae and millions of other people who feel the same oppression. However, this isn’t all Dontae’s new tape covers. Quickly, the Coliseum Records artist jumps into the feel-good essence which most young people create.
On “Check,” the rapper talks about his worldly possessions, a young woman who goes to Parsons (School of Design) and putting on for his hometown, The Stream—or Valley Stream to be exact. “Tick-Tock” references Future’s infamous smash hit single “Commas,” rightfully so as the young musician mentions his expensive lifestyle. The only song with a featured artist Marvin Dolo “OK OK,” the Long Island artist gets into his bag and produces a record that Kanye West/Travi$ Scott could have been on, or inspired. - GRUNGE CAKE
