The veteran rapper doesn’t hold back as he tackles a controversial issue that many in the Canadian hip hop community feel is long overdue for public discussion — American artists allegedly stealing from Toronto creatives without acknowledgment.

Yo Gotti & The “Law” Controversy

At the heart of this episode is Don Milly’s claim that his song “Down By Law” served as the inspiration for Yo Gotti’s hit “Law” featuring E-40. Milly breaks down the similarities and timing, expressing frustration with how Canadian originality often gets repackaged south of the border for a larger audience—without any credit given.

He’s not alone in this belief. Other Toronto rappers have quietly echoed similar sentiments over the years, suggesting that the city’s underground talent is being mined by industry giants who capitalize on trends birthed in places like Jane & Finch, but fail to mention their source.

Toronto’s Image in Hip Hop & Drake’s Role

Milly also discusses the representation of Toronto in mainstream hip hop and offers his thoughts on Drake, arguably the city’s most globally recognized artist. While Drake has undeniably put Toronto on the map, Don Milly shares a more nuanced perspective on what the authentic voice of the city really sounds like — and how it’s often overshadowed by commercial narratives.

His Journey & Deal History

In the interview, Milly reflects on a record and distribution deal he signed years back and the hope and anticipation that came with it. Despite the ups and downs, Milly has stayed true to his roots, consistently representing his city with pride and lyrical integrity.

“Bandz In My Handz” & WorldStarHipHop

As part of his latest chapter, Don Milly recently debuted his music video “Bandz In My Handz” on WorldStarHipHop, introducing his gritty street sound to a broader audience. This marks another bold move for an artist who has never shied away from keeping it real.

Setting the Record Straight

In this exclusive WWETV Web Series interview, Don Milly sets the record straight about who he is, what he stands for, and how Toronto’s hip hop scene deserves more recognition and respect on a global stage. His words are sure to resonate not only with local artists but also with anyone paying attention to the often unseen influence of Canadian hip hop culture.
