Don Marino is an American battle rapper from Homestead, Florida. He’s also the co-founder and co-owner of the Miami-based battle league Art of War 305.
Don started his battle career in late 2016, under the ring name Don Dollaz. His first battle was against fellow Floridian rapper Goddie Lumenati on the Dade County Elite Battle League. As a battler, he’s known for his sense of humor, pop culture references, storytelling ability, and of course, his “Mexican Barz”.
Despite Don being a relative newcomer, he managed to make an impact in early 2018, with a very strong performance against URL veteran Chess on Dre Dennis’s Gates of the Garden battle league. This opened the door to his first URL PG battle against Gunpowder Patt on August 4, 2018 in Atlanta. He’s currently active on the battle scene as a rapper, and he’s even co-hosted battles on Art of War and Gates of the Garden.
