My name is Maintain Da DON. I'm a songwriter and producer from Mississippi, and 1/7 of the super-group of songwriters I C.H.O.K.E. The group released 2 albums that would gain regional notoriety and countless freestyle mixtapes between the years ’99-2002. I released my solo album “Da Wake Up”(2003), and then eventually moved to Atlanta and began working with fellow group member/songwriter Yung Kut (Kutta Korleone). Throughout the next years Yung Kut and I would drop a number of mixtapes. By 2008, I had been traveling across the US and Europe, producing and songwriting. I moved to El Paso, TX where I received a degree in Business Management. In 2012, I released my 2nd solo project entitled “The Chronicles of Charles Sparkley EP”. Next on my traveling schedule was Austin, TX. Again a number of EP’s and mixtapes followed, which continued to increase his underground buzz. I then then worked on his latest projects, the “28 Grams Later” album, which was dropped at the beginning of 2018 and the "Summer Time Rollin" Album was released in the summer of 2018. Now in 2020 I released another EP "Insomniac" which details the lead single " Opulence"
