Interviews Carlimo Da Don Interview

[Fade]

Born on December 16, 1980, Cairo Egypt Guest aka Carlimo Da Don. Carlimo was first introduced to music when he was a small child and picked up quickly on it as he sang on his church choir. Carlimo also played first section trombone as he attended middle and high school. This musically talented man was drawn to hip hop back in 1999 as he was part of a LKS Entertainment until 2007.

Carlimo has a total of 6 mixtape albums in his accomplishments as well as an official music video titled "Swagger Jacker". Da Don Dada aka Carlimo has participated in early stages of artist development projects for over at least three other persons. Carlimo is also a winner of the "One Mic Monday" competition in Charlotte N.C. This well polished athlete in music has made auditions for the B.E.T. Freestyle/WOW competition. Local strip club king D.J. Cat X said "I don't understand why I don't have you in rotation? Give me your music now"!! Carlimo is managed by Edward Esquire Williams, and also works with Writer's Ink. "The sky is the limit" says manager Esquire "Carlimo is the hottest out of the south that is hands down"! Carlimo works with a list of producers which include Yung Shun, D-Shine, Young Frank, Big Xae and DJ KL.

I have found Carlimo's music to be infectious and full of energy from the first time I heard it, it isn't exactly "Crunk" but it will get you that way. I think he had the first song I played on the first Carolina Cuts show and since having hooked up with him on Facebook he has added plenty of his material to the rotation. Here he takes a brief moment to answer some questions for us. Be sure to check him out!
