“Boy, I’m livin’ fast/ Fast livin’, probably never last/ ‘til then, I’ll be stackin’ cash.”—Donte Peace, “Rebellious”

After recently sharing several impressive singles and videos, Seattle artist Donte Peace is proud to release his strongest and most defined work to date, the 'Black Babylon' album.

The Northwestern emcee’s music is particularly potent because it skirts the lines of rap’s subgenres to deliver something that’s as unique as it is engaging. From one line to the next, Peace vividly showcases a mindset of a troubled young black man simply trying to get by. How he chooses to get by is clearly up to him, and it may include more than a few middlefingers, bottles of liquor, and bags of weed.

This has been evident on standout singles “F**k Skoo” and “Rebellious,” both of which also find Peace coming into his own as a songwriter. On the drugged-out banger “Rebellious,” which is produced by TeekPunch, the blunted hook of “Hella f**kin’ rebellious” will get lodged in your skull (and make for one hell of a live show). The same goes for a number of other cuts on this 12-track project, which is primarily driven by Peace’s razor-sharp lyricism. He is joined by several guests, however, including San Diego’s own Naki (on “Black Food”), Joey Ka$h (on “Gold”), London’s Just Jess (on “Flaw”), and Genell (on “Depression”).

Given its content and the struggles so beautifully and harrowingly portrayed across 'Black Babylon,' its arrival couldn’t have been more necessary. Peace’s latest effort would have been an important listen at any point in our history, but it’s all the more imperative that we hear it now. 'Black Babylon' is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms via Peace’s own imprint, Donte Peace Music.

Donte Peace comes from the greater Northwest City of Seattle, Washington. Being a fairly new face to this region, he is in the process of becoming one of the few favorites to the underground hip-hop scenes. Rocking stages from all over the West Coast, Northwest, and Midwest, he seems to be creating a powerful impact on vintage hip hop abstract lovers.

With features from some of the regions greatest artists besides the likes of Macklemore, Donte Peace is significantly heading in the right direction of conquering and being heard by Hip Hop lovers world wide. Along with his authentic persona, smooth vintage hip hop is what you will get from the Northwest wordsmith.The grunge college kid lifestyle he shares through vintage sampled out production is only the beginning of what he has in store for hip hop lovers everywhere. There is nothing local about this kids music,just a matter of time before masses are exposed and given the option to love or hate it.

"My goal is to become a very successful artist who is not only relevant now but continuously through out the future of hip-hop,so I strive for my music to live through the hearts of all my fans for eternity" said the wordsmith. Peace's latest mixtape *Summer of 1997* can be taken into account as a street album or a short documentary. He represents a multitude of styles and personalities through his sound, and he is motivated by moments, era's & memories. *Summer of 1997* is simplistically BBQ music for calm days and no destination car rides for you cruisers. I would not refer to it as an EP nor a Mixtape, but as an independent album. The nicest kid with an attitude will eventually be heard by all in the near future, In the meantime he will continue to show his art verbally and excel to a point of no return. PEACE & LOVE.
