Don Elway Talks Name Origins, Life After Loss & Grown Man Decisions | BUSS IT DOWN PODCAST (ep. 8)

In this episode of the Buss It Down Podcast, East San Diego’s own Don Elway pulled up and gave us a full look at the man behind the music.

From sharing the meaning behind his name and where it came from, to reflecting on life-changing losses like the passing of his big brother, Don Elway opened up in a way we rarely see. We also dug into the classic film Boys N the Hood, a movie he personally chose to break down—and trust us, we got into how that film mirrors his life, his neighborhood, and his mindset.

He also blessed the mic with a live performance of “Corleon”, one of his most impactful tracks, and gave us the full backstory on how that record came to be.

We wrapped things up with “Grown Man Business”, a hilarious but real segment where Don Elway broke down how he would handle some wild real-life scenarios—from his card declining on a date to his girl’s best friend making a move.

This one is full of personality, game, insight, and laughs. A standout episode with a dynamic artist who’s seen the highs, the lows, and still continues to rise.
