Wojavelli "Best of Godfather Don" (Mixtape, 2020)

Godfather Don is a New York City-based hip hop producer and rapper. Ever since his 1991 debut album, "Hazardous", he has been a creative force within New York City's underground hip-hop scene. In the mid-90s he released a host of 12" singles and instrumental pressings through Hydra Entertainment before releasing his sophomore effort, Diabolique, in 1998. You may have also heard him on The Cenombites EP, The Slave of New York EP or The Ill Funk Freaker EP, just to name a few. With blogs in full swing by the last 2000s, the underground kept his name and his music in circulation before labels began unearthing demos and other tracks to reissue. Godfather Don continues to release music and has found quite the niche in recent years. Wojavelli pays tribute to Godfather Don, one of NYC's underground legends and unheralded heroes, with the Best of Godfather Don mixtape.
