Donny Goines "Do it for Hip Hop" (Download) + New HHR Design Feature!! 2007-09-17 09:34:24 Exclusive DownloadWord up yo, If you didn't notice some cool changes to the design of HHR, then I'll let you all know. While you were doing your thizzle this past weekend, I sacrificed my time and went to the lab and put in some work. If you look on the right of the site, there's a new feature. In the past, I had been getting some complaints from some of the independent artists that have been on HHR. Their main complaint was that they had a hard time finding their material on the site because after about 7 days, it would go into the archives section. Well, I fixed this by creating a drop down menu (See right side of the page). This feature is cool because it lists all the independent talent that has shined on HHR, plus it gives you easy access to find them on any page. This is just another way of letting you, the fans, have an easier time of finding whose shined on the set. I hope that you dig it. Ok back to the music....Donny Goines "Do it for Hip Hop"My man's and em, Donny Goines ... Design  Download
