Atlanta's Donnis' Diary of an ATL Brave mixtape is a refreshing piece of southern rap. Whereas a number of ATL rappers have taken the gangsta route, Donnis' topics (as well as flow) are very reminiscent of fellow ATLiens Outkast as well as the rising star B.o.B. On hand to help Donnis out is Mick Boogie who has thus far this year released some excellent mixtapes (most notably Wale's Back to the Feature and the Peter Bjorn & John mash-up). While Diary of an ATL Brave is a grab bag of good and bad tracks (it is a mixtape), the good exceeds the bad and the overall product is sweet and worthy of attention from hip hop heads.
