For over a decade, Denaun Porter has been known as either Kon Artis, a member of Detroit Hip Hop group D12, or as Mr. Porter, a producer whose beats have been the backdrop on songs by Eminem, Xzibit, Obie Trice, Rakim, Snoop Dogg, G-Unit, and many more.
Now, Mr. Porter is putting his emceeing and producing talents to work with tHe mEmO, a solo album he announced on Thursday (March 15) via a YouTube teaser video.
“It’s been a long time coming,” says Porter in the video. “Some artists choose to speak before their own ears are developed…I chose to wait until I could hear myself.”
No release date has been provided for the album.
Watch the teaser below:

Dope producer in the game .hes gottin hired for countless albums and cuts .
Mr Porter keeps it low key but through the years he’d produced alot of hit songs, some of the biggest hits of G Units Run and countless others for Busta Rhymes, Snoop, and so on
Salute. Definitely doing his thing to the utmost.
This is good news. He’s a great producer, good rapper and he definitely CAN SING.
Don’t forget his work with Pharoahe Monch, that was ill.
Finally! The only real solo work he did was a very, very hard to find mixtape named (shit I don’t know). I hope he gets his recognition. I’ll certainly buy the album.
i can’t wait for this album. i hope it drops sometime this year.
Kon Artis is kind of like Mannie in his cash money days how he produced countless hits.
Good news

“Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.”
Hello troll kiddo’s
Your life sucks, aint it?
O wel, today is a good day
So keep trollin’
Always been a good producer and mc. That On Fire track on Recovery was crazy
could be good
I hope that after Mr. Porter, Kuniva, and Swift put out their albums/EPs, D12 gets back in the studio, and they find a new member to replace Bizarre to make it 6 again.
proof is dead and i doubt em would return to help promote (or do the heavy lifting commercially on) the album. and if they do find someone to replace biz, theyll only be 4.
they should just add in royce and danny brown
Danny Brown get the fuck outta here Obie, Vishis & Trick Trick come before that bum
‘Bout time… been feelin’ his beats since “Stunt 101”. Underated mic skills too..
…Royce, Elzhi, & Guilty Simpson would be some hot collabs too.
On March 24 2012 Mr. Porter announced that he had left D12 via a series of tweets. In the Twitter posts, he said that he wanted to focus on being a solo artist, but clarified that he holds no animosity toward other members of the group.
