Off of Don Von Jovi’s upcoming Dreams Visions Journeys EP.

I wanted to create a record that needed little explanation about being on your “A” game. Nothing better than the feeling of having new money in your pocket or that fresh you get from being in a barber’s chair. “Coastin” is about sailing, floating through the day, and feeling good about yourself. We work hard to enjoy the best that life has to offer so we “Coast”.

New music from Don Von Jovi.

“Hard times” was inspired by observation. Style has trumped substance in today’s pop culture. We crave the newest sneakers and follow the latest trends, but when it comes to making a real difference in the world, a lot of today’s youth tend to walk away from the challenge. We are inspired by the voices of yesterday but yearn for our own voices to be heard. We wear the faces and quotes of revolutionaries on our backs but where are the Malcolm’s and Martins of today? “Hard Times” is my voice of reason for the unheard. I’m not a preacher; instead I represent soldiers on the front line. I want young boys and girls to make educated decisions by providing them with realistic views of life. We’re facing a crumbling economy, an increasing crime rate and politicians who make headlines based on their off camera antics. In a nutshell “sh*t is real!” But for all the negativity trying times definitely make for stronger individuals. A childhood accident left me with no vital signs and comatose but somehow, someway, I was revived. It has inspired me to write my own story.
“Hard Times” is my manifesto.

Don Von Jovi is working on his latest project, Dreams, Vision, Journeys, and “Go Girl” is the first track to be released. The single, like the rest of the project, is produced by Fly Boi Eastwood.

“I wanted to create a song celebrating the women in the world who strive to do things on their own terms. Women who can’t be bought or coerced into doing just anything. I feel the current trend of calling women “bad bitches” reflects poor taste and more alternatives need to be heard. I want women to listen to “Go Girl” and know that I’m representing them in the light that they deserve. One of my favourite old school tracks was LL Cool J’s “Around The Way Girl”, so I want to re-create that feeling to make something sexy and fun that you could hit the dance floor to without feeling degraded or disrespected.” – Don Von Jovi
